It seems strange to me too
I'm still here defending myself
And it's really not easy
You're right too
My excuses are useless
But I can't not tell them to you
It seems strange too that
I can no longer protect you
And it's really not easy
You're always right
My excuses are useless
But I can't live without you
Don't let me go
Don't let it be
A stupid story
A drunken night
Just one lie
Don't let me go
Don't let it be
A love song thrown away
Don't let me go
Don't let it be
It seems strange to me too
But I don't want to hide anymore
And it's really not easy
You're always right
And I must recognize myself
But it's not possible without you
Don't let me go
Don't let it be
A stupid story
A drunken night
Just one lie
Don't let me go
Don't let it be
A love song thrown away
Don't let me go
To go away
Don't let it be
Let it be
A love song
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
To go away
Don't let it be
Let it be
A love song thrown away

ubriaca — drunk

Ubriaca means "drunk" or "intoxicated". While it might seem like a common word, its use in this song is particularly evocative and fits the raw, confessional tone of Vasco Rossi.

In the lyrics, the phrase "Una notte ubriaca" (A drunk night) suggests a night of reckless abandon, perhaps filled with mistakes or impulsive decisions. It's a powerful image that hints at regret and the fleeting nature of certain experiences, making it an interesting word to explore within the context of a love song that's been "thrown away".

The singer is caught out after a mistake and keeps apologising anyway. He admits "Le mie scuse sono inutili" (my excuses are useless) and that "Hai ragione sempre te" (you are always right), yet he still cannot stay quiet, because "non posso vivere senza di te" (I cannot live without you).

The chorus is a plea not to let one bad night end everything: "Una stupida storia, una notte ubriaca, una sola bugia" (a stupid fling, a drunken night, a single lie). What he fears most is that their love turns into "una canzone d'amore buttata via" (a love song thrown away), something written and then tossed aside.
