Cartoni Animati Lyrics in English Rose Villain

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cartoni Animati by Rose Villain from Italian to English.
You were looking for dawn with your hand
You said I'm not romantic
You played Tupac and I danced for you
The close-up looked like an attic
Behind you on the bike I was hugging
You drove like I had stolen it
You don't know, you know
That I don't even feel like counting anymore
The planes that cut through clouds and disappear
I think of you
I don't even know what day it is of the month
The cartoons on TV
Inside it's dark, outside there's the sun
You took the sun away, baby
I think of you
The days seem suspended
The cartoons on TV
Outside it's summer, but here there's snow
You took the sun away, baby
Close the door, undress slowly
You wanted to enjoy every moment
You played the Guns and I sang for you
Fists inside the chest with every heartbeat
I still remember the ghost town
Us two under the cathedral rolling a joint
You don't know, you know
That I don't even feel like going dancing anymore
Diving into alcohol to forget
I think of you
I don't even know what day it is of the month
The cartoons on TV
Inside it's dark, outside there's the sun
You took the sun away, baby
I think of you
The days seem suspended
The cartoons on TV
Outside it's summer, but here there's snow
You took the sun away, baby

SONG MEANING

Cartoni Animati paints the glow of a once-thrilling romance and the dim hush that follows when it ends. Rose Villain flips through memories like TV channels: speeding on a motorcycle that feels stolen, slow-dancing to Tupac, singing along to Guns N’ Roses, and rolling a joint beneath an empty cathedral. These snapshots burst with color and adrenaline, yet they are served alongside innocent cartoons flickering on a dark screen, highlighting how childish comfort clashes with very adult heartache.

Now that the lover is gone, everyday life seems stuck in pause. Inside the room it is winter while the outside world blazes with summer sun, because he “took the sun away.” Planes cross the sky unnoticed, dates on the calendar blur, and even partying or drowning sorrows in alcohol holds no appeal. The song balances playful pop-culture references with raw vulnerability, showing how the brightest memories can leave the darkest shadows once the TV is switched off.
