Depresso Lyrics in English by Renato Zero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Depresso by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
Vado così
I go like this
Mi trascina non so chi
Someone I don't know drags me
Attraverso corsie?
Through lanes?
Non capisco che cosa è successo?
I don't understand what happened?
Sono depresso
I'm depressed
Andate via
Go away
Non conosco la follia
I don't know madness
Voglio uscire di qui
I want to get out of here
Dai, toglietemi gli occhi di dosso
Come on, get your eyes off me
Sono depresso
I'm depressed
Batto le mani
I clap my hands
Piango e rido, se mi va
I cry and laugh, if I feel like it
Sputo sulla città
I spit on the city
Faccio in pezzi pupazzi di gesso
I tear plaster dolls to pieces
Mentre tu ridi
While you laugh
Della mia libertà
At my freedom
Per la tua vanità
For your vanity
Ma la fine, la chiami progresso
But the end, you call it progress
Dico di sì
I say yes
Ti assecondo se lo vuoi
I'll humor you if you want
Ma, che resti fra noi
But, let's keep it between us
Son felice se sono depresso?
Am I happy if I'm depressed?
Sono depresso
I'm depressed
Matto, matto
Crazy, crazy
Sei un caso tragico
You're a tragic case
Matto, matto ma?
Crazy, crazy but?
Vedi, vedi
See, see
Non son matto come credi
I'm not crazy like you think
Se un matto c'è, sei tu
If there's a crazy one, it's you
Ridi, parli
You laugh, you talk
Nella mente hai mille tarli
You have a thousand worries in your mind
E non sorridi più?
And you don't smile anymore?
Voglio andar via
I want to go away
Non è qui casa mia
My home isn't here
Non farò
I won't do
Quello che vuoi
What you want
Non mi tenere legato quaggiù
Don't keep me tied down here
Perché sai? Ucciderai te stesso
Because you know? You'll kill yourself
Depresso, depresso
Depressed, depressed
Non dire no al progresso, ah
Don't say no to progress, ah
Sono depresso, lasciatemi
I'm depressed, leave me
Depresso depresso
Depressed, depressed
Scenderai sempre più in basso, ah
You'll always go lower, ah
Sono depresso, lasciatemi
I'm depressed, leave me
Depresso, lasciatemi
Depressed, leave me

Did you like this lyrics translation?
tarli — woodworms / destructive thoughts
Tarli literally translates to "woodworms" or "moths" that bore into wood. It's a vivid and somewhat unusual word to find in song lyrics, making it memorable.
In the context of "Depresso," Renato Zero uses tarli metaphorically to describe destructive, nagging thoughts or worries that eat away at someone's mind. He sings, "Nella mente hai mille tarli" (In your mind you have a thousand woodworms), painting a powerful image of mental torment and internal conflict. This metaphorical use makes the word particularly enticing and rich in meaning.
