Verse 1

I dreamed of flying with you

On a diamond bike

Or: On a bike made of diamonds

You told me you changed I don't see

Anymore the light in your eyes

What's your fear?

A sea where you never touch

Or: A sea you can never touch the ground of

Even if sex isn't

The escape route from the bottom

Don't run away from here

Don't leave me like this

Chorus 1

Naked with shivers

Or: Shivering naked

Sometimes I don't know how to express myself

And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always

Or: And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong

And I'd like to steal a pearl sky for you

And I'd pay to leave

Or: And I would pay to go away

I'd accept also a lie

Or: I'd even accept a lie

And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always

And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

Verse 2

You, who wake me up in the morning

You, who stain the bed with wine

You, who bite my skin

With your viper eyes

And you are the opposite of an angel

And you are like a boxer in the corner

And you run away from here

You leave me like this

Chorus 2

Naked with shivers

Or: Shivering naked

Sometimes I don't know how to express myself

And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always

And I'd like to steal a pearl sky for you

And I'd pay to leave

I'd accept also a lie

And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always

And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

Bridge 1

Tell me that I'm not right

I live inside a prison

I try to stay close to you

But sorry if I then send everything to hell

Or: But sorry if I then screw everything up

I can't tell you what I feel, it's my limit

For an 'I love you' I mixed drugs and tears

This poison

That we spit on each other each day

I don't want it anymore

I don't want it (on me) anymore

You see, I'm here

On a diamond bike, one among many

Or: On a diamond bike, one of many

Chorus 3

Naked with shivers

Sometimes I don't know how to express myself

And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always

And I'd like to steal a pearl sky for you

And I'd pay to leave

I'd accept also a lie

And I'd like to love you, but I mess up always

And I get shivers, shivers, shivers

brividi — shivers / goosebumps

Brividi literally translates to "shivers" or "goosebumps". It's the perfect word to capture the soul of this emotional ballad and is even the song's title.

Throughout the lyrics, this word describes the intense physical reaction to a mix of powerful feelings: the thrill of love, the cold of fear, and the vulnerability of being completely exposed ("nudo con i brividi" - naked with shivers). It's not just about simple goosebumps; it's about a profound, soul-shaking emotional state that makes it a beautiful and memorable word.

Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you have, but you keep messing it up? That is the exact mess Italian artists Mahmood and BLANCO obsess over in "Brividi" (which means shivers or chills). The song opens with an absurd, glittering fantasy: riding on a diamond bicycle ("su una bici di diamanti"). But reality hits immediately. The singers feel completely exposed and emotionally stripped down ("Nudo con i brividi" / "Naked with shivers"), admitting they simply freeze up when it comes to communication: "A volte non so esprimermi" ("Sometimes I don't know how to express myself").

Things get pretty intense and messy in the verses. BLANCO describes waking up next to someone who stains the bedsheets with wine ("sporchi il letto di vino") and bites his skin with viper eyes. Mahmood gets brutally honest about his own flaws, dropping the blunt Italian idiom "mando tutto a puttane" (literally "I send everything to the whores", which translates to "I screw everything up" or "I ruin everything"). Instead of healthy communication, they trade daily venom ("questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giorno"), caught between wanting to buy a sky full of pearls for their lover and wanting to pay any price just to run away from the conflict.
