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 reached for dawn with your hand
You said I'm not romantic
You'd put on Tupac and I'd dance for you
The first floor looked like a penthouse
On the bike behind you I was hugging you
You rode like you had stolen it
You don't know, you know
That I don't even wanna keep counting anymore
The planes that slice clouds and disappear
I think of you
I don't even know what day of the month it is
Cartoons on the TV
Inside it's dark, out there's the sun
You took the sun away, baby
I think of you
Days feel like they're on hold
Cartoons on the TV
Outside it's summer, but in here there's snow
You took the sun away, baby
Close the door, undress slowly
You wanted to savor every moment
You'd put on the Guns and I'd sing for you
Punches in my chest with every beat
I still remember the ghost town
The two of us under the Duomo rolling a joint
You don't know, you know
That I don't even wanna go dancing anymore
To dive into alcohol to forget
I think of you
I don't even know what day of the month it is
Cartoons on the TV
Inside it's dark, out there's the sun
You took the sun away, baby
I think of you
Days feel like they're on hold
Cartoons on the TV
Outside it's summer, but in 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.
