Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ho sei cose nella mente
E tu non ci sei
Mi dispiace
Guardo dentro agli occhi della gente
Cosa cerco non so
Forse un uomo

Hey man

Che cammini come me
Dall'altra parte della strada

Hey man
Che sei solo come me
Dall'altra parte della strada

Sing a song and sorrow passes by
Sing in harmony
Even better
What d'you say, my friend, some summer night
Keep me company
Hang together

Hey man,
I see you walking just like me
On the far side of the road
Hey man,
Come and sing my song with me
On my side of the road

Che ci facciamo compagnia

Guardo dentro agli occhi della gente (hey man don't you know)
Cosa cerco lo so (don't know why)
Un altro uomo (I miss you, I miss you)
Hey, fratello di una notte d'estate (hey man don't you know)
Ci facciamo un po' (know why)
Compagnia? (I miss you, I miss you)

Hey man
Che cammini come me
Dall'altra parte della strada

Hey man
I see you walking just like me
On the far side of the road

Sing my song with me
Hey man
Che sei solo come me
Dall'altra parte della strada

Singing
Hey man
Come and sing my song with me
On my side of the road
Che ci facciamo
Hang together
Compagnia
Hang together
Compangnia

Oh Lord, sing a song
Sing together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to B.o.B's song, Sing My Song, are in Italian and English. The Italian lyrics say, "I have six things on my mind and you're not one of them, I'm sorry. I look into people's eyes, I don't know what I'm looking for. Maybe another man." The English lyrics describe the desire for companionship and the unity that comes from singing together. The singer sees another man walking on the far side of the road, and asks him to come sing with him, to keep him company, and to hang together. The repeated phrase "Hey man" seems to be a way of reaching out to someone who may be feeling alone, in the same way that the singer does.

Taken together, the lyrics hint at a sense of longing and a search for connection. They explore the idea that we're all looking for something, and that sometimes the best way to find it is to come together with others and share our experiences. The song's message is ultimately one of hope - that even when we feel lost or disconnected, we can find our way back to each other by singing our songs and sharing our stories.
