FORTUNATO

LUCKY

Diciassette anni, ma ne porto trenta addosso,

Seventeen years old, but I carry thirty on me,

cresciuto in mezzo al casino, col dolore dentro l'osso,

grown up in the middle of chaos, with pain deep in my bones,

qua non ti regala un cazzo, devi prenderti il tuo posto,

here they don't give you anything, you have to take your place,

sorrido alla tua faccia, ma dentro c'ho un terremoto.

I smile at your face, but inside I have an earthquake.

Urla dentro casa, notti senza dormire,

Screams inside the house, sleepless nights,

gente che finisce dentro, gente che non sa uscire,

people who end up inside, people who don't know how to get out,

ho imparato a stare zitto, non parlare, non reagire,

I learned to stay quiet, not to speak, not to react,

dire "tutto quanto a posto" mentre sto per impazzire.

to say "everything's fine" while I'm about to go crazy.

Sono nato già lottando, stavo quasi per morire,

I was born already fighting, I was almost dying,

da quel giorno ogni battaglia me la sono fatta subire,

since that day I've endured every battle,

tra le Vallette e casa mia, certe cose fanno male,

between Vallette and my house, certain things hurt,

ma da quando ci sei tu vedo tutto meno male.

but since you've been here I see everything less badly.

Dal primo giorno che ti ho vista, non ti ho tolta dalla testa,

From the first day I saw you, I haven't gotten you out of my head,

pure in mezzo a mille facce, eri l'unica che resta,

even among a thousand faces, you were the only one who remained,

quando ti vedo arrivare, cambia tutta la giornata,

when I see you arrive, the whole day changes,

con quegli occhi che mi guardano, la testa è già andata,

with those eyes looking at me, my mind is already gone,

più ti guardo e più mi accorgo che sei proprio differente,

the more I look at you, the more I realize you're truly different,

pure in mezzo a mille facce, sei l'unica presente.

even among a thousand faces, you're the only one present.

Non so come fai, ma mi mandi fuori,

I don't know how you do it, but you drive me crazy,

quando guardo dentro i tuoi occhi perdo tutti i miei valori,

when I look into your eyes I lose all my values,

e quel naso alla francese, quel tuo modo di parlare,

and that French nose, that way you talk,

sono dettagli che ogni volta mi fanno innamorare.

are details that make me fall in love every time.

Pure in spiaggia, circondato dalle tipe,

Even at the beach, surrounded by girls,

ma pensavo solo a te, non mi servivano altre vite.

but I was only thinking of you, I didn't need other lives.

Facevo il bagnino, con il sole sulla pelle,

I was a lifeguard, with the sun on my skin,

ma aspettavo una notifica, fanculo tutte le altre.

but I was waiting for a notification, screw all the others.

Bastava un tuo messaggio per cambiare la giornata,

Just one message from you was enough to change the day,

una frase scritta a caso, la mia testa sistemata,

a randomly written phrase, my mind settled,

mentre tutti si divertono, io aspetto il tuo segnale,

while everyone else is having fun, I wait for your signal,

perché senza te vicino tutto sembra andare male.

because without you near, everything seems to go wrong.

Sono fortunato ad averti qua,

I'm lucky to have you here,

quando tutto va di merda, tu mi dai tranquillità,

when everything goes to shit, you give me peace,

ho il cuore pieno di casini, ma con te se ne va,

my heart is full of troubles, but with you it goes away,

tutto il peso che mi porto, tutta l'oscurità.

all the weight I carry, all the darkness.

E lo so, sono pesante, ti vorrei qua ogni istante,

And I know, I'm heavy, I'd want you here every moment,

ho paura di perderti, non voglio fare il distante,

I'm afraid of losing you, I don't want to be distant,

non so dirti certe cose, ma ti giuro, è importante,

I can't tell you certain things, but I swear, it's important,

dopo tutto 'sto casino, averti è una cosa grande.

after all this mess, having you is a great thing.

Mi ricordo quel messaggio: "Mi accompagni a casa?"

I remember that message: "Will you walk me home?"

stavo impazzendo, porca troia, che giornata,

I was going crazy, holy shit, what a day,

dopo tutto quel tempo che pensavo solamente a te,

after all that time I was only thinking of you,

finalmente avevo un motivo per averti vicino a me.

finally I had a reason to have you close to me.

Poi quel bacio nel palazzo, me lo tengo nella testa,

Then that kiss in the building, I keep it in my head,

cuore a mille, mani fredde, cazzo, che bella quella scena,

heart racing, cold hands, damn, what a beautiful scene,

mi avvicino piano alle tue labbra, non sapevo come fare,

I slowly approached your lips, I didn't know what to do,

tra l'imbarazzo e la paura di sbagliare.

between embarrassment and the fear of making a mistake.

E da quella sera non è stato più lo stesso,

And since that evening it hasn't been the same,

ogni volta che ti vedo sent

every time I see you I feel

Lines explained

“cresciuto in mezzo al casino, col dolore dentro l'osso,”

grown up in the middle of chaos, with pain deep in my bones,

The phrase "dolore dentro l'osso" (pain deep in my bones) is an idiom that conveys a deep, ingrained suffering, not just physical pain but emotional hardship that has become a part of him.

“ma da quando ci sei tu vedo tutto meno male.”

but since you've been here I see everything less badly.

This line marks a turning point, where the presence of the loved one begins to alleviate the harshness of his life, shifting his perspective from negative to less negative.

“quando guardo dentro i tuoi occhi perdo tutti i miei valori,”

when I look into your eyes I lose all my values,

To "perdo tutti i miei valori" (lose all my values) in this context means he is so captivated and overwhelmed by her presence that his usual defenses or priorities fade away, not that he loses his moral compass.
