Isole Lyrics in English Tancredi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Tancredi / Isole

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Isole by Tancredi from Italian to English.

When you run fast

Remember not to forget about me

That we lost our voice

Divided in two an emotion

When there was no one

We breathed the future

And do you remember that flood

That extinguished our dreams and smoke signals

Ouch ouch ouch

I just realized now that I ask you how you are, what you do, where you go

Because I'm always afraid to talk about myself to you

To trust you

To dream to live, to live

We are like two islands, islands

But I talk about myself to you

And I trust you

We thought it was impossible

To unite two islands, islands

I've known you for a lifetime, since elementary school

I'm always late, you're always on time

Under a storm, on a regional train

To think that I'll go abroad, I admit it hurts me

I know you'll stand by me when everyone's against us

That you won't believe me if I tell you everything's fine

There's a blood pact not written with ink

I love you

Ouch ouch ouch

I just realized now that I ask you how you are, what you do, where you go

Because I'm always afraid to talk about myself to you

To trust you

To dream to live, to live

We are like two islands, islands

But I talk about myself to you

And I trust you

We thought it was impossible

To unite two islands, islands

We are just islands, islands

In a sea of tears, tears

You've seen me cry

But I'm always afraid to talk about myself to you

To trust you

To dream to live, to live

We are like two islands, islands

But I talk about myself to you

And I trust you

We thought it was impossible

To unite two islands, islands

We are just islands, islands

In a sea of tears, tears

You've seen me cry, cry

Laugh

We are just islands

Islands

SONG MEANING

Tancredi’s Isole paints the picture of two lifelong companions who feel both inseparably close and oceans apart. Memories of playgrounds, train rides and sudden storms rush by as fast as they once ran together, yet every shared adventure is shadowed by an unspoken fear: the fear of truly revealing themselves. Each question – How are you? What are you doing? Where are you going? – hides a deeper wish to say I need you, but words falter and the pair drift like islands in a sea of doubts.

The song captures that delicate moment when you decide to lower your defenses. Over pulsing beats, Tancredi turns hesitation into hope, promising that even islands can build bridges if they dare to trust. The chorus becomes a mantra of courage: speak, dream, live, and let someone else see the tears and laughter you usually keep hidden. Isole reminds us that friendship and love can survive distance, storms and time – all it takes is the leap of faith to turn two lonely shores into one shared horizon.
