Fateme Cantà Lyrics in English Ultimo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fateme Cantà by Ultimo from Italian to English.
Intro
What a day, what a day
I'm wrecked, I'm wrecked
Waiter, bring me the wine
Let me sing
'Cause I don't feel like stayin' with these people
Who talk to me
But say nothing
Let me sing
And I even feel a bit worked up
By these people who ask me for a photo
I'd like to talk to them about themselves
Let me sing
I'm going crazy chasing too many demands
I need, at roll call
To say I'm absent
And, and let me sing
For the friends I left in the parking lot
I almost feel guilty
For having had this dirty success
A friend onstage who kills you off it
Let me sing
I'm no good at making up speeches
I mess up the manners
The tones, even the timing
I speak low, you wouldn't even hear me
Let me sing
At these dinners with guys in ties
I talk with gestures, I don't know their language
Let me sing
For that guy who doesn't have a name anymore
He's on the street, begging for a heart
For that father who shuts his eyes tight
In front of his son to guard his dreams
And let me sing
For these cats waiting awake
For an engine to keep themselves warm
For the memories that break my sleep
And in bed make me spin like a madman
A madman, a madman

SONG MEANING

Picture a young Roman artist slumping into a noisy bar after a marathon day, waving the waiter over and pleading, "Fateme cantà!""Just let me sing!" Ultimo’s anthem is a raw outburst of exhaustion and honesty: he is sick of polite chatter, stiff dinners with men in suits, forced smiles for smartphone photos, and the endless circus that success drags behind it. All he wants is a glass of wine and a microphone, because singing is the only language that still feels real.

As the verses roll on, his request turns into a shout on behalf of everyone pushed to the sidelines. He sings for friends waiting in the parking lot, for the homeless man who has lost even his name, for the father shielding his child’s dreams, and for the stray cats huddling by car engines for warmth. Fateme Cantà is a plea for authenticity in a world of empty words, a reminder that music can slice through pressure, guilt, and sleepless memories to connect us where spoken conversation fails.
