Brividi
Mahmood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Su una bici di diamanti
Mi hai detto, "Sei cambiato, non vedo
Più la luce nei tuoi occhi"
La tua paura cos'è?
Un mare dove non tocchi mai
Anche se il sesso non è
La via di fuga dal fondo
Non lasciarmi così
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
Tu, che mi svegli il mattino
Tu, che sporchi il letto di vino
Tu, che mi mordi la pelle
Con i tuoi occhi da vipera
E tu, sei il contrario di un angelo
E tu, sei come un pugile all'angolo
E tu scappi da qui, mi lasci così
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
Dimmi che non ho ragione
E vivo dentro una prigione
E provo a restarti vicino
Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane e
Non so dirti ciò che provo, è un mio limite
Per un "ti amo" ho mischiato droghe e lacrime
Questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giorno
Io non lo voglio più addosso
Lo vedi, sono qui
Su una bici di diamanti, uno fra tanti
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
The lyrics of Mahmood's song "Brividi" describe the complexity and uncertainty of a tumultuous relationship. The singer describes dreaming of flying with their partner on a bike made of diamonds, but the partner says that they've changed and the light is gone from their eyes. The singer wonders about the partner's fear, comparing it to a sea that they will never touch. Although sex is not a way to escape the depths, they imploringly ask their partner not to run away and leave them alone.
The chorus repeats the phrase "nudo con i brividi," which translates to "naked with chills." The singer admits that they sometimes struggle to express themselves and want to love their partner but always make mistakes. They wish they could steal a sky full of pearls and would pay any price to leave if their partner left them. The singer is willing to accept even a lie to stay with their lover, but they always make mistakes that leave them with chills.
The song continues with the singer describing their partner's imperfect and dangerous behavior. The partner is compared to a viper, and the singer admits that they don't know how to express their feelings. They mix drugs with tears to say "I love you" and want to move past the poison they've been spitting back and forth. At the end of the song, the singer acknowledges that they are "one in a million" but still finds themselves "naked with chills" and unable to find the right words to express their love.

Ho sognato di volare con te Su una bici di diamanti
I dreamt of experiencing a magical moment with you, flying joyfully on a bike made of diamonds
Mi hai detto: "Sei cambiato, non vedo Più la luce nei tuoi occhi"
You told me I've changed, that the light in my eyes has faded
La tua paura cos'è? Un mare dove non tocchi mai Anche se il sesso non è La via di fuga dal fondo
What is it that you're afraid of? An abyss that you can never touch even if sex is not the solution to escape the abyss
Dai, non scappare da qui Non lasciarmi così
Hey, don't run away from here, don't leave me like this
Nudo con i brividi A volte non so esprimermi E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle E pagherei per andar via Accetterei anche una bugia E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempre E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
Exposed to shivers, sometimes I can't express myself. I want to love you but I always make mistakes. I want to steal a sky of pearls for you, willing to pay anything to get away, even if it means accepting a lie. I want to love you but I always mess up and it gives me shivers
Tu, che mi svegli il mattino Tu, che sporchi il letto di vino Tu, che mi mordi la pelle Con i tuoi occhi da vipera E tu, sei il contrario di un angelo E tu, sei come un pugile all'angolo E tu scappi da qui, mi lasci così
You, who wakes me up in the morning, you, who stains the sheets with wine, you, who bites my skin with your viper eyes. You are the opposite of an angel, you are like a boxer in a corner, and then you leave me here alone
Dimmi che non ho ragione E vivo dentro una prigione E provo a restarti vicino Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane e Non so dirti ciò che provo, è un mio limite Per un "ti amo" ho mischiato droghe e lacrime Questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giorno Io non lo voglio più addosso Lo vedi, sono qui
Tell me I'm wrong and that I'm not living in a prison. I'm trying to stay close to you, but forgive me if I screw everything up. I can't express my feelings, it's my limitation. I've mixed drugs and tears just to tell you 'I love you'. This poison we spit on each other every day, I don't want it anymore. Can't you see, I'm here

Μετάφραση στα ελληνικά ονειρεύτηκα να πετάξω μαζί σου
Σε ένα διαμαντένιο ποδήλατο
Μου είπες ότι άλλαξες,
Δεν βλέπω πια το φως στα μάτια σου
Ποιος είναι ο φόβος σας;
Μια θάλασσα που δεν την αγγίζεις ποτέ
Ακόμα κι αν το σεξ δεν είναι
Η οδός διαφυγής από το κάτω μέρος
Έλα, μην τρέχεις από εδώ
Μη με αφήνεις έτσι
Γυμνός με ρίγη
Μερικές φορές δεν ξέρω πώς να εκφραστώ
Και θα ήθελα να σε αγαπώ, αλλά πάντα κάνω λάθος
Και θα ήθελα να σου κλέψω έναν μαργαριτάρι ουρανό
Και θα πλήρωνα για να φύγω,
Θα δεχόμουν και ένα ψέμα
Και θα ήθελα να σε αγαπώ αλλά πάντα κάνω λάθος
Και με πιάνει ρίγη, ρίγη, ρίγη
Εσύ που με ξυπνάς το πρωί
Εσύ που λερώνεις το κρεβάτι με κρασί
Εσύ που δαγκώνεις το δέρμα μου
Με τα οχιά σου μάτια
Κι εσύ, είσαι το αντίθετο ενός αγγέλου
Κι εσύ, είσαι σαν μποξέρ στη γωνία
Και φεύγεις από εδώ, με αφήνεις έτσι.
Γυμνός με ρίγη
Μερικές φορές δεν ξέρω πώς να εκφραστώ
Και θα ήθελα να σε αγαπώ, αλλά πάντα κάνω λάθος
Και θα ήθελα να σου κλέψω έναν μαργαριτάρι ουρανό
Και θα πλήρωνα για να φύγω,
Θα δεχόμουν και ένα ψέμα
Και θα ήθελα να σε αγαπώ αλλά πάντα κάνω λάθος
Και με πιάνει ρίγη, ρίγη, ρίγη
Πες μου ότι δεν έχω δίκιο
Μένω μέσα σε μια φυλακή
Προσπαθώ να μείνω κοντά σου
Αλλά συγγνώμη αν μετά τα στέλνω όλα στο διάολο
Δεν μπορώ να σου πω τι νιώθω, είναι το όριο μου
Για ένα σ'αγαπώ ανακάτεψα ναρκωτικά και δάκρυα
Αυτό το δηλητήριο που κάθε μέρα φτύνουμε ο ένας τον άλλον
Δεν το θέλω πια
Το βλέπεις, είμαι εδώ,
Σε ένα διαμαντένιο ποδήλατο, ένα από τα πολλά.
Γυμνός με ρίγη
Μερικές φορές δεν ξέρω πώς να εκφραστώ
Και θα ήθελα να σε αγαπώ, αλλά πάντα κάνω λάθος
Και θα ήθελα να σου κλέψω έναν μαργαριτάρι ουρανό
Και θα πλήρωνα για να φύγω,
Θα δεχόμουν και ένα ψέμα
Και θα ήθελα να σε αγαπώ, αλλά πάντα κάνω λάθος
Και με πιάνει ρίγη, ρίγη, ρίγη

ENGLISH LYRICS TRANSLATION
I dreamed of flying with you
On a diamond bike
You told me you changed I don't see
Anymore the light in your eyes
What's your fear?
A sea where you never touch
Even if sex isn't
The escape route from the bottom
Don't run away from here
Don't leave me like this
Naked with shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always
And I'd like to steal a pearl sky for you
And I'd pay to go away
I'd accept also a lie
And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always
And I get shivers, shivers, shivers
You, who wake me up in the morning
You, who stain the bed with wine
You, who bite my skin
With your viper eyes
And you are the opposite of an angel
And you are like a boxer in the corner
And you run away from here
You leave me like this
Naked with shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always
And I'd like to steal a pearl sky for you
And I'd pay to go away
I'd accept also a lie
And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always
And I get shivers, shivers, shivers
Tell me that I'm not right
I live inside a prison
I try to stay close to you
But sorry if I then send everything to hell
I can't tell you what I feel, it's my limit
For an 'I love you' I mixed drugs and tears
This poison
That we spit on each other each day
I don't want it anymore
You see, I'm here
On a diamond bike, one among many
Naked with shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always
And I'd like to steal a pearl sky for you
And I'd pay to go away
I'd accept also a lie
And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always
And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

12 points from finland. Italian singers are the best in Europe. First the maneskin, now mahmood and blanco. New international stars discovered every year in Sanremo. It's crazy!
@hazy-skies2630
Sanremo is a festival for established artists. Blanco is the most streamed artist in Italy of 2021 so they already discovered him :3 anyway given his recent success there was no better choice to do this year.
@minkiux81
Mahmood already won Sanremo 2019 and finished 2nd at ESC 2019 with ‘Soldi’. 🙂
@Sanseverese86
Mamhood is just a internazional star...for blanco is a great opportunity
@sacotafiruta2348
Blanco has only 18 years.
@joseclemente8083
Mahmood is a great singer.
@Loopa1998
The beat is heavenly, but the LYRICS... like a poetic fairytale. The song is pure magic. It's so much bigger than Eurovision, still I'm thankful to Eurovision for introducing me to Mahmoods world of music.
@jullybaptista
I recommend that you also discover BLANCO's music, which is also wonderful.
@_TJ97
They're both amazing ❤🎉
@JA80347
I don't speak Italian at all, but my heart translates this song perfectly well, you have a new fan here, love from Australia ♥️♥️♥️
