Chiave Lyrics in English Ultimo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ultimo / Chiave

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chiave by Ultimo from Italian to English.

For the times I've lost

Challenging myself in the mirror

For the things from back then

That cut me inside

For all the memories

Among the ones you forget

The nights in a park among friends and talks

For when I messed up

Wasted talent

On a school desk, me, puzzled and p*ssed

For her who loved me

Her eyes, planets

Where you enter by mistake and tiptoe out

For the words never spoken

Whoever runs and then stops

For whoever talks of heroes and quits after one step

F*ck my tears, my wearier eyes

For whoever asks for a smile and has a thousand regrets

For my promises always the same

I go win and return, mom, tell me you can make it

For my father who waits for me to be calmer

Despite your mistakes, you're among the greatest examples

For moments of simplicity

For whoever stays and whoever leaves

For the times I walk this road and don't know where it'll lead me

And for whoever waits for a different life

For me who had a star and lost it

For whoever brags about being strong, I instead carve another weakness

Another weakness

For whoever saw big plans fail

Who hides his deepest cuts in grams

For my many parts that make me unstable

A livable pain that fills the pages

For the sons of b*tches who didn't get me

For whoever only dreams, who feels like a burden

For whoever leaves alone but comes back changed

For whoever stands still and gave up long ago

For the boat that flies when it can't find its sea

For the blaze that burns all that remains

For the rain that wets my nightly anxieties

For whoever asked to exist but nobody answers

For the times I shouted, 'I feel different'

And I can't figure out where the meaning is here

If you're born alone, live alone, die alone

I'm pessimistic just enough to feel alone

For whoever won't fall in love 'cause he hates feeling good

For whoever loves everyone 'cause he fears the void

For the infamous panic, for the hanging note

For whoever is last and counts, for the key I'm hanging

For moments of simplicity

For whoever stays and whoever leaves

For the times I walk this road and don't know where it'll lead me

And for whoever waits for a different life

For me who had a star and lost it

For whoever brags about being strong, I instead carve another weakness

For moments of simplicity

For whoever stays and whoever leaves

For the times I walk this road and don't know where it'll lead me

And for whoever waits for a different life

For me who had a star and lost it

For whoever brags about being strong, I instead carve another weakness

Another weakness

SONG MEANING

Chiave feels like scrolling through a candid photo album of Ultimo’s life, where each snapshot is a moment of triumph, regret, or raw vulnerability. He name-checks sleepless nights in the park, failed classroom dreams, lost love, and the silent battles we all fight when no one is watching. Every line is a dedication: to the timid, the brave, the restless, the dreamers who left, and the ones still waiting for a different life. The “key” he carries is both a literal object and a symbol of hope, the one thing that might unlock a way out of loneliness and self-doubt.

Despite the heavy themes, the song shimmers with resilience. Ultimo turns weaknesses into verses, proving that admitting another weakness can actually be a sign of strength. By the end, you realise the track is a heartfelt anthem for anyone who has ever felt like the last one standing—an invitation to embrace your scars, keep walking down that uncertain road, and believe that your own personal key is still hanging around your neck, waiting to open the next door.
