Effetto Domino Lyrics in English Emma

Home / Lyrics Translation / Emma / Effetto Domino

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Effetto Domino by Emma from Italian to English.

Let's leave every chance open

Let's leave a breath of air at the windows

Twenty thousand leagues under the blankets

Let me see if the desire's still in you

Always sweating with no goal

Only at night

We stay naked hanging by a thread

That goes

From my legs to your eyes

Show me love when you come back

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

And you know why

We spend our whole life looking for a meaning

That, no, isn't there

And I like it better on the floor

On top of you

And if we have to go down

Let's go down

With the domino effect

We get out in pieces from the domino effect

If a certainty falls panic starts

There's a promise on your body

To keep

If everybody knows your secret

Deny it

To sweat without having

No more thoughts, only the night

We stay naked like yesterday

And what'll you do if I put a blindfold on your eyes?

Show me love when you touch me

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

And you know why

We spend our whole life

Looking for a meaning

That, no, isn't there

And I like it better on the floor

On top of you

And if we have to go down

Let's go down

With the domino effect

And you can use me

Like I use you

Just enough to feel again

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

I always wanna hurt myself with you

Let's play our games with the light

And you know why

We spend our whole life

Looking for a meaning

That, no, isn't there

And I like it better on the floor

On top of you

And if we have to go down

Let's go down

With the domino effect

SONG MEANING

Effetto Domino dives head-first into that irresistible chain reaction that sparks when two people throw caution to the wind. Emma paints a late-night scene filled with open windows, tangled sheets, and playful flashes of light, where every small touch knocks over the next “tile” of desire. The lovers are naked, sweating, blindfolded, and wonderfully reckless; they are not chasing grand life purposes, only the electric thrill of the moment.

Underneath the sensual imagery lies a philosophy: if life has no clear meaning, why not enjoy the fall together? The song suggests that surrendering to passion, even if it leaves us “in pieces,” can be more genuine than clinging to fragile certainties. It is an anthem for living in the present, accepting vulnerability, and letting the dominoes tumble with unapologetic joy.
