Verse 1

I've dreamed of flying with you

On a diamond bike

Or: On a bike made of diamonds

You've 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 / Chills

Brividi literally translates to "shivers" or "chills". It's a beautiful, evocative word that perfectly captures the emotional core of this powerful ballad.

In the song, "brividi" represents the intense physical reaction to both love and fear. It's the shiver of thrilling passion and the chill of paralyzing vulnerability, a feeling of being exposed and overwhelmed by emotion, as expressed in the line "Nudo con i brividi" (Naked with shivers).

Ever felt completely tongue-tied when you want to show someone you care? That is the exact mess Mahmood and BLANCO obsess over in "Brividi" (which translates to "shivers" or "chills"). Right away, the song throws surreal, dreamlike images at you: riding a "bici di diamanti" (diamond bicycle) and wishing to steal a "cielo di perle" (sky of pearls). But real life is much messier. The singers admit their own emotional failure with the recurring line, "E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre" (And I would like to love you, but I always get it wrong).

Instead of sweet romance, the lyrics describe a chaotic, exhausting push-and-pull. The partner is called "il contrario di un angelo" (the opposite of an angel) with "occhi da vipera" (viper eyes) who spills wine on the bed and bites. BLANCO drops all polite filters later on, shouting "scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane" (sorry if I screw everything up) and admitting he mixed drugs and tears just to say an "I love you." In Italian, "mandare tutto a puttane" is a very blunt, everyday idiom for ruining a situation completely. By the end, they are left "nudo con i brividi" (naked with the shivers), totally exposed and unable to fix the toxic venom they keep spitting at each other.
