Verse 1

How many drawings I've made

I stay here and look at them

None come to life

This page is lazy

I'm in a hurry

And they told me that life is precious

I wear it proudly around my neck

Or: I wear it on my neck with my head held high

My necklace has no pearls of wisdom

They gave me the colored beads

Colorful beads are a sign of childish behaviour

For the messed up girls with traumas

To slowly untangle with age

Yet I'm calm, look, zero dramas

Or: Yet, I'm calm / happy like on Easter

Almost almost changing cities again

Because staying still makes me

It brings me

Lit: It comes to me

The boredom

Prechorus 1

I die without dying

In these worn-out days

I live without suffering

There's no greater cross

Or: There is no greater burden

All that's left is to laugh

In these burnt nights

A crown of thorns

Will be the dress-code for my party

Chorus 1

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

Cumbia refers to a number of musical rhythms and folk dance traditions of Latin America, said to have come from funeral traditions, and often associated with painful occasions

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

Verse 2

How many people see the evil in things

It makes you want to run away as they start talking

And I'd like to tell them that I'm fine but then they look at me badly

So I say that it's difficult to get by

Business, you talk about business

Meanwhile, I close my eyes to sign contracts

Princess, he calls you princess

So now stop washing the dishes

Prechorus 2

I die without dying

In these worn-out days

I live without suffering

There's no greater cross

All that's left is to laugh

In these burnt nights

A crown of thorns

Will be the dress-code for my party

Chorus 2

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

Verse 3

So you write songs?

Yes, songs about love

And I don't want to bore you

But someone has to sing them

Cumbia, I dance cumbia

If I risk stumbling, at least I stop the boredom

So I have a party, I have a party

Because it's the only way to stop

The boredom

Prechorus 3

I die because dying

It makes the days more human

I live because to suffer

It makes the joy greater

All that's left is to laugh

In these burnt nights

A crown of thorns

Will be the dress-code for my party

Chorus 3

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

incasinate — messy / chaotic

Incasinate is a colloquial term meaning "messy" or "chaotic". It comes from the word casino (a mess, not a gambling casino!), and it's a very expressive way to describe complicated people or situations.

In the song, Angelina Mango sings of "bimbe incasinate con i traumi" (messy girls with traumas). She uses this word to capture the feeling of being young and tangled up in complex problems that need to be unraveled over time. It’s a powerful and relatable word for anyone navigating the beautiful chaos of life.

Italian artist Angelina Mango turns the heavy drag of everyday monotony upside down by turning it into a dance track. Instead of wearing pearls of wisdom, she tells us she was handed perline colorate (colored beads) meant for messy girls with old traumas to untangle over time. She uses the Italian idiom sto una Pasqua (literally "I'm an Easter", meaning "I'm super happy" or "doing great") to shrug off the drama, but the quiet still gets to her. The moment she sits still, la noia (boredom) sneaks right back in.

Her fix for the dullness is chaotic and fun: dance cumbia through the mess. She mocks fake pity and industry nonsense, joking that if people only want to talk about misery, she will pretend life is tough just to fit in. By the end, she even adopts una corona di spine (a crown of thorns) as the mandatory dress code for her party, deciding that dealing with pain is what makes the good times actually count. If dancing risks a stumble, so be it, at least it stops the boredom.
