Idealista! Lyrics in English Noemi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Idealista! by Noemi from Italian to English.

My artist heart

Idealist!

Heart of a rebel girl who goes

Still chasing a high

Not dying of thirst

'Cause the water's bound to come

If not now, tonight, tomorrow

Something's gotta change here

The heart has revealed

Instinct's never been wrong

I'm happy, laughing, running, bolting

Feels like I've flown

No no, I say no

Not me, I answer no

In this world if you work and you

Grind like a madman, I know

You stay loyal like a dog

Meanwhile they don't give a f*ck

About you

But the heart feels lighter

Instinct's never been wrong

And there's someone who sweet-talks you at night

With words then by day you

But if the heart's got it

The dog will have barked

If it's sunk in someone will have shouted

Leave the past, they're ghost stories now

One different day isn't enough for love

Same old mistake

That the heart has detected

Then Christmas comes

If Christmas has already gone by

You stare in the mirror too much

I'd say you still like yourself plenty

You wait for his news, watch the clock, and the day never goes by

Does that seem well done to you

It's just an endless nightmare

Throwing yourselves out of bed to chase yourselves clear down to hell

No, no I say no

I won't answer

I sit in the back

Don't speak for me, no

I say no, I won't answer

I take the world for myself

And I don't need fancy words

The poets' footsteps have worn out the carpets by now

It's better I'm not at my place

No no, I say no

I won't answer

I sit in the back

Don't speak for me

No, I say no

I won't answer

I take the world for myself

SONG MEANING

"Idealista!" is Noemi’s rallying cry for anyone whose heart beats faster than the world around them. Singing from the point of view of a rebellious, artistic soul, she celebrates the thrill of chasing new experiences, trusting gut feelings and believing that change will come – if not today, then tomorrow. The song’s repeated “no!” is a bright red stop-sign held up to society’s demands to work like crazy, stay obedient and accept empty promises. Rather than bend, she laughs, runs and rises above it all, convinced that her instinct has never steered her wrong.

As the verses unfold, Noemi exposes hollow romances, the ghost stories of the past and the daily grind that can feel like an endless nightmare. Refusing to be lured by fancy words or second-hand dreams, she decides to “fregarsi il mondo” – to snatch the world for herself – and live on her own fearless terms. The result is an empowering anthem that urges listeners to question, resist and keep their hearts light enough to soar while waiting for the refreshing “water” of real change.
