10 piegamenti!
Tiziano Ferro Lyrics

Dieci piegamenti, dieci piegamenti
This phrase is repeated throughout the song as encouragement to keep going and pushing oneself, specifically through physical exercise like push-ups.

È tanto che non sto solo veramente in questa stanza
It has been a while since the singer has truly been alone in a room, perhaps indicating a lack of self-reflection or introspection in his life.

Infatti sono indietro con le analisi di coscienza

Ho maturato debiti con la mia introspezione

Ho perso il vizio di chiedere sempre 'per favore'
The singer has lost the habit of always asking for things with politeness and deference.

Ma sono stanco e devastato da una vita sempre al varco
The singer is tired and devastated by a life always on the move, filled with sleepless nights and trains delayed.

Fatta di nottate e treni in ritardo
The singer's life is characterized by long nights and trains that never seem to run on time, potentially indicating a lack of stability and control.

Intanto in autostrada è basso il pericolo di sesso
While driving on the highway, there is little risk of sexual contact or temptation, but the singer uses this peaceful moment to reflect on his life.

Quindi adesso sto in silenzio e ci rifletto
The singer chooses to remain silent and reflect on his life, perhaps to gain clarity or a better sense of his priorities.

Finestrino aperto
The singer has the car window open, perhaps to let in fresh air or clear his mind.

Fiore nel deserto
The singer is surprised to find a flower in the middle of the desert, which may symbolize hope or beauty in an unexpected place.

E sorprendersi di nuovo a ballare un lento
The singer is surprised to find himself dancing slowly again, perhaps after a long period of feeling stagnant or disconnected.

Dentro qualche cosa urla e canta

È ancora calda
This line describes something that is still warm, though it is unclear what the singer is referring to specifically.

Nella mutanda
This line is somewhat ambiguous, but it may be referring to the singer's own underwear or the underwear of someone else.

Dietro la tua cicatrice Che cosa c'è_ Una storia brutta o una felice? Boh, allora dieci piegamenti, dieci piegamenti
The question of what lies behind one's scars or wounds (whether a happy or sad story) is asked multiple times throughout the song, and each time the singer encourages himself (and perhaps others) to keep pushing forward by doing ten push-ups.

C'è voluto tempo ma finalmente me ne accorgo Che chi si accanisce e alza la voce ha sempre torto Chi sceglie la via dell'arroganza paga pegno E quindi, dieci piegamenti, dieci piegamenti
The singer realizes that those who become fixated and raise their voices are often in the wrong, and those who opt for an arrogant path eventually pay the price. Thus, he continues to motivate himself to do ten push-ups.

Ho bisogno di cambiare rimanendo sempre uguale Spesso ho paura di avere paura Però quando si vuole bene intendo bene davvero Tutto il resto è poco, tutto il resto è zero
The singer expresses a desire to change while remaining true to himself, and acknowledges the fear he feels in this process. However, he emphasizes that true love is what matters most, and everything else is insignificant in comparison.

Per tacere la paura che hai nel cuore
To silence the fear inside one's heart, the singer suggests persevering and pushing oneself through difficult moments.

Non criticare gli altri prova a far di meglio tu
The singer encourages listeners not to criticize others, but to focus on bettering themselves instead.

Il vento delle tue mani mi passa dentro
This line may refer to the feeling of someone else's touch (specifically their hands) passing through the singer, perhaps indicating a sense of intimacy or vulnerability.

Tempesta nel mio mare tra ragione e sentimento

Tra spirito e cuore c'è un'enorme differenza Il primo se lo perdi lo ritrovi, l'altro no
