Devil In Me

I've got the devil in me!
The singer is saying that they have the devil inside of them-- they have a darkness or evil lurking within.

Gloria nell'alto dei cieli
A phrase in Italian meaning 'glory in the highest' often used in Christian worship.

Ma non c'è pace quaggiù
But there is no peace here on earth-- life is tumultuous and difficult.

Non ho bisogno di veli
I don't need veils-- the artist is saying they are honest and transparent, and do not need to hide anything.

Se già un angelo tu
If you are already an angel-- the artist is addressing someone they see as angelic.

Che accendi un diavolo in me
You ignite a devil in me-- the person referred to as an angel brings out the singer's darker side.

Le strade delle signore
The streets of women-- the singer is saying that the ways of women are mysterious and difficult to navigate.

Sono infinite lo sai
They are infinite, you know-- there are many different paths or ways that women can be.

Anch'io ti sono nel cuore
I am also in your heart-- the artist is expressing their love for the person they are addressing.

E allora cosa mi fai
So what are you going to do to me-- the artist is asking the person they love how they plan to act.

T R saluta i tuoi
T R greets (or says goodbye to) yours-- this line is likely meant to be playful, and may refer to nicknames or inside jokes between friends.

O U e bacia i miei
O U and kiss mine-- another playful line, suggesting a flirtatious connection between the artist and the person they're addressing.

B L che sensazione! E
B L what a sensation! E-- another playful line, expressing excitement or pleasure about something.

T R spengo cicche
T R extinguishes cigarettes-- yet another playful line, possibly indicating that T R is responsible for making sure no one is smoking in a certain area.

O U tu accendi me
O U you light me up-- a flirtatious line, suggesting that the person being addressed brings out the singer's passion or desire.

B L e che confusione
B L what confusion-- the artist is expressing a sense of being overwhelmed or confused.

Dai che non siamo dei santi
Come on, we're not saints-- the artist acknowledges that they are human and prone to making mistakes or succumbing to temptation.

Le tentazioni del suolo
The temptations of the ground-- the singer is suggesting that earthly pleasures or indulgences are tempting and alluring.

Sono cose piccanti
They are spicy things-- the singer is acknowledging that these temptations can be exciting and tantalizing.

Belle da prendere al volo
Beautiful to catch on the fly-- the artist is saying that these alluring things are worth pursuing or seizing quickly, before they pass by.

Gloria nell'alto dei cieli
A repeat of the first line-- 'glory in the highest.'

Ma non c'è pace quaggiù
Again, 'but there is no peace here on earth.'

Non ho bisogno di peli
I don't need fur-- another strange line, perhaps again indicating that the singer values transparency and honesty.

Sei proprio un angelo tu
You really are an angel-- the artist is emphasizing how much they see the person they're addressing as being good or pure.

Che accendi un diavolo in me
Who ignites a devil in me-- again, the singer is saying that this other person brings out their darker, more passionate side.

Perché c'è un diavolo in me
Because there is a devil in me-- a repetition of earlier lines in the song, emphasizing the theme of the singer's internal darkness or sinfulness.

Forse c'è un diavolo in me
Maybe there is a devil in me-- suggesting that the singer is still unsure of what lurks within them.
