Fracasso Lyrics in English Pitty

Home / Lyrics Translation / Pitty / Fracasso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fracasso by Pitty from Portuguese to English.

Success has many fathers

Failure's an orphan

For those who suffer, heaven at last

Eases the rage

What I carry on my shoulders

Is mine and only mine

I bear it without begging for blessing or grief

Viler is to scorn

What can't be had

You live so scattered, you look around too much

Can't see the future is yours to make

'Cause failure's gone to your head

You pin the blame on others for not having more

You say the grapes are green, yet you find no peace

'Cause failure's gone to your head

The maestro said it well

The offense is personal

Whoever points at the traitor

Is the one who was betrayed

Already knows what it's like to fall

At least tried to stand tall

And, victim of himself, despises what he'll never have

The greenest is always beyond

What can be had

You live so scattered, you look around too much

Can't see the future is yours to make

'Cause failure's gone to your head

You pin the blame on others for not having more

You say the grapes are green, yet you find no peace

'Cause failure's gone to your head

You live so scattered, you look around too much

Can't see the future is yours to make

'Cause failure's gone to your head

You pin the blame on others for not having more

You say the grapes are green, yet you find no peace

'Cause failure's gone to your head

'cause failure's gone to your head

SONG MEANING

“Fracasso” is Pitty’s tongue-in-cheek lecture on responsibility and resilience. She plays with the old saying that success has many fathers while failure is an orphan, reminding us that it is easy to take credit when things go well and just as easy to blame someone else when they do not. Through images of bitter “green grapes,” scattered focus, and a head swollen by defeat, the lyrics expose how envy and excuses keep us from noticing the simple truth: the future is made by our own hands.

At its core the song is a motivational kick. Pitty warns that mocking what you cannot have or pointing at villains will never bring peace. Instead she celebrates the courage of those who carry their own burdens and still try to stand tall. “Fracasso” turns failure into a mirror: look at it, own it, then move forward. It is a rock anthem that shakes off self-pity and invites you to swap complaints for action.
