Chi Sono Veramente Lyrics in English Will

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chi Sono Veramente by Will from Italian to English.
We are born to then become dust
With millions of problems to solve
But in winter the days are too short
I feel good, I don't think about it when I'm with you
I wish this skin could be removed
I wish these people could notice
That I'm not as strong as you think
And it will hurt to realize that we don't think about it anymore
Mom used to say that love is like smoke
It makes you feel good but one day it will kill you
And even those with a heart of stone look for someone
Who will become a diamond the day they find them
I truly feel like dying a bit when I smell your scent
If I had to look for you, I would burn this city
I promised you we will shine among tears in the dark
Just give me a moment and you'll see what will happen
So I run
I can't stop because I have a dream
I want to achieve it with pride, I will
Without ever changing
Who I really am
We are born to then become dust
With millions of problems to solve
But in winter the days are too short
I feel good, I don't think about it when I'm with you
I wish this skin could be removed
I wish these people could notice
That I'm not as strong as you think
And it will hurt to realize that we don't think about it anymore
We were in love wanting more
Now we are old friends who no longer see each other
But sometimes I still think about it and maybe you do too
But a story like this marks you like tattoos
I found true love then lost it again
And since I'm alone, I seem like a shadow of a man
Now that many people are around me, maybe too many
You can leave me alone if you want to do me a favor
But maybe you were right
I only bring you problems
I can't give you a future
Realize your desires
But I truly loved you, and it's a shame it's over
Thank you for all the pain, you changed my life
So I run
I can't stop because I have a dream
I want to achieve it with pride, I will
Without ever changing
Who I really am
We are born to then become dust
With millions of problems to solve
But in winter the days are too short
I feel good, I don't think about it when I'm with you
I wish this skin could be removed
I wish these people could notice
That I'm not as strong as you think
And it will hurt to realize that we don't think about it anymore
Outro
So I run
I can't stop because I have a dream
I want to achieve it with pride, I will
Without ever changing
Who I really am

SONG MEANING

Chi Sono Veramente ("Who I Really Am") is a heartfelt confession where Will balances two powerful forces: the rush of a dream and the weight of vulnerability. The singer starts with a stark reminder that we are all "born to become dust," carrying millions of problems on our backs. Yet, the cold, short winter days feel lighter whenever he is with the person he loves. Throughout the song he pulls off his "skin," wishing people could see that he is not as strong as they think. Love, compared to sweet but suffocating smoke, makes him feel alive even though it might one day break his heart.

As the story unfolds, the relationship fades from passionate lovers to distant friends, leaving tattoo-like marks that never disappear. Still, the experience fuels Will’s determination: he keeps running toward his dream, promising to shine without ever changing who he really is. The song mixes existential doubt, raw honesty, and stubborn hope, inviting listeners to embrace their own fragility while chasing what truly matters.
