BESTIALE Lyrics in English Eiffel 65 , Loredana Bertè
Bestiale literally means 'beastly' or 'brutal', but in modern Italian slang, it's often used to mean 'awesome' or 'incredible'. It's a versatile word that can convey intensity, whether positive or negative.
In this song, Eiffel 65 uses "bestiale" to describe a "maledetta frenesia bestiale" (a damned beastly frenzy). It perfectly captures the overwhelming, almost animalistic, nature of the stress and constant rush the singer feels, making it a memorable and impactful word.
Ever feel like you're running a race without knowing why? That's the feeling Eiffel 65 captures in "BESTIALE." The song describes a life filled with "twenty-four hours of stress," constantly rushing and living an hour behind schedule. The singer compares this to racing like the famous driver Leclerc, but with no finish line in sight. This constant, frantic pace is described as a "maledetta frenesia bestiale"—a cursed, beastly frenzy.
To combat this overwhelming lifestyle, the singer dreams of slowing down. Instead of a life that takes him from "Milano e Manila," he yearns for simple pleasures. He imagines putting a record in a jukebox "per rallentare" (to slow down) and enjoying a quiet moment by the sea. The song is a powerful call to escape the rat race, not by running away, but by choosing to be present and find peace in the small moments.
