Salvami! Lyrics in English by Renato Zero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Salvami! by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
Dici bene, questo non è il posto mio
You're right, this isn't my place
Non l'ho deciso io
I didn't decide it
Quando questa strada ha scelto me
When this road chose me
Chissà dov'era Dio
Who knows where God was
Quando sceglievo fra il bene e il male
When I chose between good and evil
Quando il mondo è dovunque uguale
When the world is the same everywhere
Quando niente non bastava, mai
When nothing was ever enough
Quando studiavo da ingegnere
When I studied to be an engineer
E non avevo un ponte da progettare
And I didn't have a bridge to design
E sul quel ponte, sopravvivo
And on that bridge, I survive
Se mi cerchi, sono sempre qua
If you look for me, I'm always here
Puntuale sono qua
I'm here on time
E la morte io già so cos'è
And I already know what death is
Viaggia insieme a me
It travels with me
Quando offrirò il mio profilo migliore
When I'll show my best side
Quando ho imparato che bisogna salire
When I learned that you have to climb
E fare finta che amore
And pretend that love
Tu non sai cos'è
You don't know what it is
E ogni volta dirò che è la prima volta
And every time I'll say it's the first time
Affidandomi al caso e alla mia incoscienza
Entrusting myself to chance and my recklessness
Lasciando sull'asfalto, un po' di me
Leaving a bit of me on the asphalt
Senza sapere mai
Without ever knowing
Che cosa sei
What you are
Perché lo sai
Because you know it
E per chi
And for whom
Niente è più importante
Nothing is more important
Salvami
Save me
Dalla strada che non sa
From the road that doesn't know
Fra giorno e notte, quanti figli ha
Between day and night, how many children it has
Fra questa gente in cerca d'allegria
Among these people looking for joy
Che compra e vende questa pelle mia
Who buys and sells this skin of mine
Salvami
Save me
Oh, no
Oh, no
Io non cerco nelle tasche tue, la verità
I don't look in your pockets for the truth
Salvami
Save me
Dalla notte che verrà
From the night that will come
Senza mai un nome, senza identità
Without ever a name, without identity
Questa strada non è la mia
This road isn't mine
Voglio presto fuggire, via
I want to quickly flee, away
Salvami
Save me
Ma la fortuna nasce insieme a te
But luck is born with you
O senza te
Or without you
Ti manca sempre un'occasione in più
You always lack one more opportunity
Perché tu non sia tu
So you aren't yourself
E allora
And so
Salvami
Save me
Dalla strada che non sa
From the road that doesn't know
Fra giorno e notte, quanti figli ha
Between day and night, how many children it has
Questa strada, non è la mia
This road isn't mine
Voglio presto fuggire, via
I want to quickly flee, away
Salvami
Save me
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, salvami
Oh, save me

Did you like this lyrics translation?
incoscienza — unconsciousness / recklessness
The word "incoscienza" can mean "unconsciousness" in a literal sense, but in this song, it's used to convey "recklessness" or "thoughtlessness." It's a compelling word because it speaks to a lack of awareness or care for consequences.
Renato Zero sings about "affidandomi al caso e alla mia incoscienza" (trusting in chance and my recklessness), highlighting a life lived on the edge, driven by impulse rather than careful consideration. This makes it a powerful and evocative word that captures the song's raw emotion and themes of a life lived without a clear path.
