OCCHI LUCIDI Lyrics in English Ultimo

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

I don't know what I'm doing here

Thinking no, telling everyone yes

I remember dreams, plans and all kinds of magic

Living inside a courtyard

Living without lies

If I spoke my own language now I'd say I'd never

Have lived more lives in one day, and you wouldn't believe it

We're all made a bit like this

Strong eyes and fragile hearts

I don't know what I'm missing here

And I live a life like the ones in movies

Among actors, extras, laughs and melancholy

Staring at a woman in a bar and suddenly feeling she's already mine

If I spoke my own language now I'd say I'd never

Have lived more lives in one day, and you wouldn't believe it

We're all made a bit like this

If I could step out of my body maybe I'd do it

But only to stay around you forever and ask how you're doing

We're all made a bit like this

Strong eyes and fragile hearts

Bridge

We were on a boat in the middle of your sea

Far from the noise and close to the laughs

I wanted to give you a dream and I couldn't

You wanted to give me everything and now I get it

Outro

We're all made a bit like this

If I could step out of my body now I'd do it

But only to stay around you always, ask how you're doing

We're all made a bit like this

Strong eyes and fragile hearts

We're all made a bit like this

Speechless and teary-eyed

SONG MEANING

“Occhi Lucidi” paints the inner monologue of someone who feels like an extra in the film of their own life. Ultimo moves from childhood courtyards to smoky bars, from imaginary movie sets to a fragile boat in the middle of the sea, asking himself why he keeps saying yes to everything while his real language stays unspoken. In each scene he discovers the same contradiction: we all have “occhi forti e cuori fragili” — strong eyes that face the world and delicate hearts that break easily. The chorus becomes a confession that he has “lived many lives in a single day,” yet still doesn’t know what is missing.

The song is ultimately a bittersweet love letter. He wishes he could step outside his own body just to orbit the person he loves, checking in with a simple “come stai?” He remembers promising dreams he couldn’t deliver, realizing too late that she was willing to give him everything. With a swelling melody and raw vocal cracks, Ultimo captures that moment when laughter fades, words fail, and only glossy, tear-filled eyes remain. “Occhi Lucidi” reminds listeners that behind every confident gaze lies a heart that longs to be understood — and that admitting our vulnerability is what makes us human.
