Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ridammi Indietro Il Cuore by Negramaro from Italian to English.

As if we then were not distant and

Light years from the memories of two lovers and

There’s nothing left now apart from the few moments that

Resurface faded among so many others

Did you ever understand

Who we were

Life seems different now from what you want

Hold me tight until we discover if still

Give me back my heart

Give me back my heart that I can’t tremble anymore

Give me back my heart that I don’t want to return anymore

Give me back my heart, and no

And now you leave without saying anything anymore and

What do you do with an indifferent man and

Did you ever discover who we were?

Life seems different now from what you want

Hold me tight until I feel that still

Give me back my heart

Give me back my heart that I can’t speak anymore and

Give me back my heart that I can’t wait anymore

And give me back my heart, I don’t want to talk about it anymore

You give me back my heart that I can’t wait anymore

Take me back to watch the eclipse

Hide me from the fears of others

Teach me how to face the abysses

To then rise in the highest skies

Pick me up from the falls in the woods

And push me towards paths already lost

Tell me how much stronger we are

Now that we have found ourselves

Remind me again of those happy days

If they are tied to stolen kisses

Erase all my saddest thoughts

If there ever were any for us two

Invent stories of my old friends

And how many I had if I respected them

Tell me about when we saw each other that one time when we loved each other

Give me back my heart

Give me back my heart that I can’t tremble anymore

Give me back my heart

You give me back my heart

I don’t want to talk about it anymore with you

SONG MEANING

Ever feel like you loaned your heart to someone and forgot to set a return date? Ridammi Indietro Il Cuore ("Give Me Back My Heart") by the Italian band Negramaro turns that panic into poetry. Over moody guitars and soaring vocals, the singer pictures two ex-lovers floating "light-years" apart, yet still orbiting the faded snapshots of their romance. He pleads to be squeezed one last time, just long enough to see if any love is left, then demands his heart back so he can stop shaking, stop waiting, and finally find his own rhythm again.

The lyrics swing between raw urgency—"ridammi indietro il cuore" is repeated like a mantra—and dreamlike requests: bring me back to the eclipse, lift me from forest falls, rewrite my past with happier tales. It is a tug-of-war between nostalgia and self-preservation, where recovering your heart means reclaiming your voice, your memories, and maybe even the stars. The song reminds learners that in Italian, heartbreak is not just sadness; it is a cinematic quest for identity, courage, and that final, freeing exhale.
