Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Stupida Allegria by Emma from Italian to English.

Wherever I go I feel your perfume on me

How many times I've taken you for granted

And I find you in every wrinkle of my face

And in the taste of a memory I've forgotten you

And there's a man on the ground playing a guitar

It almost seems like he doesn't care about anything

Sometimes I almost don't recognize you

Other times you seem like the one I've always looked for

And we're both on the wrong side

And we both already have our hearts broken

Someone's whistling from some window

And colors the streets talking about you

About you

I already know, I already know, I already know

That I'll come back, I'll come back

Every time I go away

I hated you a bit

You're mine, you're mine, you

You're mine, you're mine

My stupid joy

That melancholy of mine

I hated you a bit

But you're mine, you're mine, you

You're mine, you're mine

My stupid joy

My melancholy

No matter what, you stay in every one of my conversations

How many times I've messed up and blamed you

For those things about me I can't stand

But I've never been able to understand you

I dry my thoughts like clothes on the line

But I lose the thread if I talk about you

About you

I already know, I already know, I already know

That I'll come back, I'll come back

Every time I go away

I hated you a bit

You're mine, you're mine, you

You're mine, you're mine

My stupid joy

That melancholy of mine

I hated you a bit

But you're mine, you're mine, you

You're mine, you're mine

My stupid joy

My melancholy

You've given me inconsolable unstoppable tears

And a carpet of images

Do you ever think about how unreliable we are

That we feel unstable, that we feel fragile

I already know, I already know, that

I'll come back, I'll come back

Every time I go away

I hated you a bit

But you're mine, you're mine, you

You're mine, you're mine

My stupid joy

That melancholy of mine

I hated you a bit

But you're mine, you're mine, you

You're mine, you're mine

My stupid joy

My melancholy

SONG MEANING

“Stupida Allegria” captures that roller-coaster moment when love, nostalgia and annoyance all crash into one another. The singer walks through her day wrapped in the other person’s scent, spotting their shadow in every wrinkle on her face and every street-corner melody. She tries to push them away, even blames them for her own flaws, yet every goodbye loops back to another return. It is a confession of contradiction: “I’ve hated you a little, but you’re still my silly joy, my melancholy.”

Emma turns this push-and-pull into a lively street scene: a man strumming a guitar on the pavement, someone whistling from a window, colors splashing across the city as memories flood in. The song celebrates how love can be both fragile and unstoppable, irritating and irresistible. By the end, she admits the obvious truth we all know too well—she will always come back, because that “stupida allegria” is hers alone, a sweet ache she simply cannot (and maybe does not want to) cure.
