OCCHI LUCIDI Lyrics in English Ultimo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song OCCHI LUCIDI by Ultimo from Italian to English.
I don't know what I'm doing here
Thinking, saying yes to everyone
I remember dreams, projects, and different magics
Living inside a courtyard
Living without lies
If I spoke my language now, I would tell you that never
I've lived more lives in a day and you won't believe it
We're all made a bit like this
Strong eyes and fragile hearts
I don't know what's missing here for me
Living a life like those in movies
Among actors, extras, laughter, and melancholy
Staring at a woman in a bar and suddenly feeling she's already mine
If I spoke my language now, I would tell you that never
I've lived more lives in a day and you won't believe it
We're all made a bit like this
If I could leave my body, maybe I would
But only to always be around you and ask how you are
We're all made a bit like this
Strong eyes and fragile hearts
Bridge
We were on a boat in the middle of your sea
Away from noises and close to laughter
I wanted to give you a dream and I couldn't
You wanted to give me everything and now I understand
Outro
We're all made a bit like this
If I could leave my body now, I would
But only to always be around you, ask how you are
We're all made a bit like this
Strong eyes and fragile hearts
We're all made a bit like this
Without words and teary eyes

SONG MEANING

“Occhi Lucidi” paints the inner monologue of someone who feels like an extra in the film of their own life. Ultimo moves from childhood courtyards to smoky bars, from imaginary movie sets to a fragile boat in the middle of the sea, asking himself why he keeps saying yes to everything while his real language stays unspoken. In each scene he discovers the same contradiction: we all have “occhi forti e cuori fragili” — strong eyes that face the world and delicate hearts that break easily. The chorus becomes a confession that he has “lived many lives in a single day,” yet still doesn’t know what is missing.

The song is ultimately a bittersweet love letter. He wishes he could step outside his own body just to orbit the person he loves, checking in with a simple “come stai?” He remembers promising dreams he couldn’t deliver, realizing too late that she was willing to give him everything. With a swelling melody and raw vocal cracks, Ultimo captures that moment when laughter fades, words fail, and only glossy, tear-filled eyes remain. “Occhi Lucidi” reminds listeners that behind every confident gaze lies a heart that longs to be understood — and that admitting our vulnerability is what makes us human.
