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 destroyed, I'm destroyed
Waiter, bring me the wine
Let me sing
I don't feel like being with these people
Who talk to me
But say nothing
Let me sing
I also feel a bit nervous
From these people asking for a photo
I would like to talk about them
Let me sing
I'm going crazy with too many demands
I need to report
That I'm absent
And, let me sing
For the friends I left in the parking lot
I almost feel guilty
For having had this dirty success
That friend on stage and kills you in the rest
Let me sing
I'm not good at making up speeches
I make mistakes
In ways, tones, even timing
I speak softly, you wouldn't even hear me
Let me sing
At these dinners with these men in ties
I speak 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 squints his eyes
In front of his son to protect his dreams
And let me sing
For these cats waiting awake
For an engine to keep warm
For the memories that break my sleep
And make me toss and turn in bed 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.
