Sono Triste Lyrics in English by Ornella Vanoni

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sono Triste by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Se stasera sono qui
If tonight I'm here
È perché ti voglio bene
It's because I love you
È perché tu hai bisogno di me
It's because you need me
Anche se non lo sai
Even if you don't know it
Se stasera sono qui
If tonight I'm here
È perché so perdonare
It's because I know how to forgive
E non voglio gettar via così
And I don't want to throw away like this
Il mio amore per te
My love for you
Per me venire qui
For me to come here
È stato come scalare
It was like climbing
La montagna più alta del mondo
The highest mountain in the world
E ora che sono qui
And now that I'm here
Voglio dimenticare
I want to forget
I ricordi più tristi giù in fondo
The saddest memories down deep
Se stasera sono qui
If tonight I'm here
È perché ti voglio bene
It's because I love you
È perché tu hai bisogno di me
It's because you need me
Anche se non lo sai
Even if you don't know it
Per me venire qui
For me to come here
È stato come scalare
It was like climbing
La montagna più alta del mondo
The highest mountain in the world
E ora che sono qui
And now that I'm here
Voglio dimenticare
I want to forget
I ricordi più tristi giù in fondo
The saddest memories down deep
Se stasera sono qui
If tonight I'm here
È perché ti voglio bene
It's because I love you
È perché tu hai bisogno di me
It's because you need me
Anche se non lo sai
Even if you don't know it

Did you like this lyrics translation?

scalare — to climb

Scalare means "to climb" or "to scale". While seemingly simple, it's used here in a powerful metaphorical sense that elevates its meaning beyond a common verb.

In the song, the singer says, "Per me venire qui / È stato come scalare / La montagna più alta del mondo" (For me to come here / It was like climbing / The highest mountain in the world). This vivid imagery of scaling the world's highest mountain beautifully conveys the immense effort, courage, and emotional struggle it took for her to return to her loved one, making it a truly impactful word in the context of the lyrics.
