Libera Lyrics in English by Renato Zero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Libera by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
Ti lascio libera
I leave you free
E questo mi addolora
And this pains me
Ti lascio libera
I leave you free
Non sono pronto ancora
I'm not ready yet
Chiedimi di tenerti qui
Ask me to hold you here
Puoi pretenderlo
You can demand it
Slegarti è facile
Setting you free is easy
Difficile obbligarti
Forcing you is difficult
La carne è debole non voglio più ferirti
The flesh is weak, I don't want to hurt you anymore
Amore ti maledirò
Love, I'll curse you
Io che perderti non so
I who don't know how to lose you
Metto il cuore in un cassetto
I put my heart in a drawer
Per dispetto non lo indosserò mai più
Out of spite, I'll never wear it again
Un po' testardo un po' distratto
A bit stubborn, a bit distracted
È già una vita che non sei più mia
It's been a lifetime since you're no longer mine
Vendo rose mentre aspetto
I sell roses while I wait
Tutto il mondo mi conosce sa di te
The whole world knows me, knows about you
Il cieco ambulante, il pazzo
The wandering blind man, the madman
Tutto il mio disprezzo libertà
All my contempt, freedom
Ti lascio libera
I leave you free
Tanto dovrai tornare
Anyway, you'll have to return
Non puoi resistere
You can't resist
Avrai freddo e fame, amore
You'll be cold and hungry, love
Mai più catene giuro mai
Never again chains, I swear never
Aria e luce finché vuoi
Air and light as much as you want
Perdersi, dimenticarsi
To get lost, to forget oneself
Non ci credo, non è giusto, non si può
I don't believe it, it's not right, it can't be
Non avete amato tanto
You haven't loved so much
E poi non conoscete lei
And then you don't know her
Non lasciarmi in questo inferno
Don't leave me in this hell
Tutto il mondo è pronto a ridere di me
The whole world is ready to laugh at me
Il cieco ambulante, il pazzo
The wandering blind man, the madman
Perché non vuoi credermi perché
Why don't you want to believe me, why
Lei mi supplicò
She begged me
Io la strinsi così forte
I held her so tight
Perché non fuggisse via
So she wouldn't flee away
Perché non fuggisse via
So she wouldn't flee away
Perché non fuggisse mai più via
So she'd never flee away again

Did you like this lyrics translation?
slegarti — to untie you / to set you free
Slegarti literally means "to untie you" or "to unbind you." It's a less common verb than simply "to free" (liberare), making it more evocative and specific.
In the context of the song, the singer is grappling with the pain of letting go of someone he loves. He says, "Slegarti è facile, difficile obbligarti," meaning "Untying you is easy, forcing you is difficult." This highlights the emotional struggle of releasing someone, even when it's the right thing to do, and the deeper meaning of emotional bonds rather than just physical ones.
