Chi ha corrotto quello specchio
Who corrupted that mirror
Quello lì non sono io
That one there isn't me
Sono sparite le mie ali
My wings have disappeared
Quel collare non è mio
That collar isn't mine
Ero un angelo perfetto
I was a perfect angel
Pronto per servire Dio
Ready to serve God
Chi mi ha spento
Who extinguished me
Un angelo lo giuro
An angel, I swear it
Bell'anima la mia
My beautiful soul
Mi bastava una carezza
A caress was enough for me
Spazi per volare via
Spaces to fly away
Sempre forte il desiderio
The desire always strong
Ogni casa fu la mia
Every house was mine
Chi mi ha spento
Who extinguished me
Tradito dalla smania incalzante del mondo
Betrayed by the world's pressing urge
Avere tutto subito
To have everything immediately
Tutto in un giorno
Everything in one day
Sono l'angelo ferito
I am the wounded angel
Mi hai tradito ingenuità
My naivety betrayed me
A quel mondo gli ho creduto
I believed in that world
E alla fine eccomi qua
And in the end, here I am
Sempre appeso a un manifesto
Always hanging on a poster
Ma la caverò così
But I'll manage like this
Esibendo il mio talento fino ad arrivar fin lì
Exhibiting my talent until I get there
Non so perché
I don't know why
Proprio a me
To me of all people
Mi spengono
They extinguish me
La fortuna è nelle braccia
Fortune is in the arms
Nella forza di un'idea
In the strength of an idea
Un'accattivante faccia
A captivating face
Ed un grammo di follia
And a gram of madness
Finché non arriva un mostro
Until a monster arrives
Che ci fotte l'energia
That f*cks up our energy
Che ci ha spenti
That extinguished us
Più difficile il decollo
Takeoff is more difficult
Cieli viola su di noi
Purple skies above us
Non si parte né si arriva
We neither leave nor arrive
Inchiodati siamo ormai
We are stuck now
Muti e vuoti siamo in tanti
Many of us are mute and empty
A fanculo pandemia
F*ck the pandemic
Che ci hai spenti
That extinguished us
Traditi dalla smania incalzante del mondo
Betrayed by the world's pressing urge
Avere tutto e subito
To have everything and immediately
Tutto in un giorno
Everything in one day
Ancora altre due ali
Two more wings again
Mi risolleverò
I will rise again
In quegli squallidi alveari
In those squalid beehives
Io non ci tornerò
I won't go back there
Un'aria pura e trasparente
A pure and transparent air
Più consona per me
More suitable for me
Ritroverò il coraggio
I will find courage again
La luce dentro me
The light inside me
Lo sai anche te
You know it too
Che c'è
That there is
Ancora tanto da scrivere
Still so much to write
Qui verrai
Here you will come
Per noi
For us
C'è ancora un mondo in cui credere
There's still a world to believe in
Oh sì
Oh yes
Sì
Yes
Oh sì
Oh yes
Abbiamo grinta da vendere
We have grit to spare
Sì
Yes
C'è ancora spazio se vuoi
There's still space if you want
C'è sempre un modo per vincere
There's always a way to win

ingenuità — naivety

Ingenuità translates to "naivety" or "innocence". It's a poignant word in this song, as the narrator, an "angelo ferito" (wounded angel), laments being betrayed by his own innocence.

He sings, "Mi hai tradito ingenuità" (You betrayed me, naivety), personifying this quality as the source of his downfall in a harsh world. This makes the word particularly impactful and central to the song's theme of lost innocence and disillusionment.
