Sgualdrina Lyrics in English by Renato Zero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sgualdrina by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
(Ladies and gentlemen) Attenzione
(Ladies and gentlemen) Attention
Avvertiamo i passeggeri di avere una sgualdrina a bordo
We warn passengers that there's a floozy on board
Siete pregati di allacciare le cinture di castità e di non fumarla, grazie
Please fasten your chastity belts and don't smoke her, thank you
Sgualdrina
Floozy
È arrivata la sgualdrina
The floozy has arrived
Viene dal cielo la sua meschinità
Her meanness comes from the sky
Sgualdrina
Floozy
Prima dolce e poi assassina
First sweet and then a killer
La sua tattica e i suoi artigli conosco, già
I already know her tactics and her claws
Ma perché
But why
La sgualdrina doveva toccare a me?
Did the floozy have to happen to me?
Come può
How can
La sgualdrina assediarmi anche se non vorrò?
The floozy besiege me even if I don't want to?
Chiudo porte e finestre, giuro non le aprirò
I close doors and windows, I swear I won't open them
Sgualdrina
Floozy
Sarai la mia rovina
You will be my ruin
Abituarmi a te, questo proprio no
Getting used to you, absolutely not
Uh
Uh
Che farò?
What will I do?
La sgualdrina mi rapina tutto il meglio che ho
The floozy robs me of all the best I have
Che dirò?
What will I say?
Sarò forte, abbastanza, da gridarle: 'Va' via'
I'll be strong enough to shout at her: "Go away"
Dovrò scegliere in fretta tra sgualdrina e follia
I'll have to choose quickly between floozy and madness
Ma perché
But why
La sgualdrina doveva toccare a me?
Did the floozy have to happen to me?
Come può
How can
La sgualdrina assediarmi anche se non vorrò?
The floozy besiege me even if I don't want to?
Chiudo porte e finestre, giuro non le aprirò
I close doors and windows, I swear I won't open them
Guardami
Look at me
Sei ancora in tempo e allora salvati
You're still in time, so save yourself
Non ho più braccia per difendermi
I no longer have arms to defend myself
Vorrei tornare alla mia anima
I'd like to return to my soul
(Sempre, sempre, sempre, sempre più)
(Always, always, always, always more)
Non puoi nascondermi la luna
You can't hide the moon from me
Dietro i tuoi occhi da sgualdrina
Behind your floozy eyes
Morirò (morirò)
I'll die (I'll die)
Se lo vuoi, sparirò
If you want it, I'll disappear
(Sgualdrina)
(Floozy)
(È nata una sgualdrina)
(A floozy was born)
(Fra le pareti azzurre di casa mia)
(Among the blue walls of my house)
È la tua fine
It's your end
(Sgualdrina)
(Floozy)
(Rapina e repentina)
(Robbery and suddenness)
(Tu balli da sgualdrina e non ridi più)
(You dance like a floozy and don't laugh anymore)
È il tuo girotondo ultimo
It's your last round dance
(Giro, giro tondo, la sgualdrina è il meno del mondo)
(Ring, ring a round, the floozy is the least of the world)

Did you like this lyrics translation?
sgualdrina — slut / hussy
Sgualdrina is a provocative and somewhat archaic Italian term that translates to "slut" or "hussy." It's a strong, attention-grabbing word that immediately sets a tone for the song.
In Renato Zero's song, the word is used repeatedly and metaphorically to personify a destructive, manipulative force—perhaps an addiction, a toxic relationship, or a corrupting influence—that the singer struggles against. Its frequent use and the dramatic context make it the most memorable and enticing word from the lyrics.
