MALAVITA Lyrics in English Coma_Cose

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song MALAVITA by Coma_Cose from Italian to English.
Monnalisa's her stage name
And she gets lost for a moment
In the music of the squares
The sun beats on the shutters
She smokes alone, but still she cries
She looks way older than me
But she's a niña of the world, a daughter of the port
And she dances on a speaker
Her heart quickly teaches her
That she's not a girl anymore
She hates photos, she dreams of a bike
That just goes fast, that's all
She runs from a God who speaks
The slang of the underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Always reveals a sea of things to you
Beneath the veils of young brides
Black eyes look like yours to me
Monnalisa, Monnalisa
Monnalisa, Monnalisa
You've never seen a bouquet of roses
It can't be your name's fault
You don't love, you only make love
You don't love, you only make love
Red eyes, like with flashes
Underworld, dreaming of cash
Desires that send
Her head crashing
Wild violet won't be the umpteenth one
A wine mouth the color of Lent
Who'll have to sell her skin dearly
To a bad merchant of stars
Under a moon
That looks like a coin
A silver knuckle duster
On top of a silk glove
She hates photos, she dreams of a bike
That just goes fast, that's all
She runs from a God who speaks
The slang of the underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Always reveals a sea of things to you
Beneath the veils of young brides
Black eyes look like yours to me
Monnalisa, Monnalisa
Monnalisa, Monnalisa
You've never seen a bouquet of roses
It can't be your name's fault
You don't love, you only make love
Monnalisa's her stage name
And she wanted to gamble
Her luck at cards, but she's already far from here
They saw her on a train
Escaping from her poison
The past's a snake in your breast if it's yours
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Underworld, underworld
Always reveals a sea of things to you
Beneath the veils of young brides
Black eyes look like yours to me
Monnalisa, Monnalisa
Monnalisa, Monnalisa
You've never seen a bouquet of roses
It can't be your name's fault
You don't love, you only make love
You smile, but hide pain
You don't love, you only make love

SONG MEANING

Close your eyes and picture a neon-lit Italian piazza: out of the smoke steps Monnalisa, a street-wise dreamer with ink-black eyes and a taste for danger. Coma_Cose’s “MALAVITA” sketches her like a modern folk heroine, caught between youthful innocence and the magnetic pull of the underworld (the malavita). She dances on booming speakers, fantasises about a roaring motorbike, and rejects sentimental clichés like bouquets of roses. Love is too slow; adrenaline is faster. The song’s pulsing beat mirrors her heartbeat as she slips through alleyways, dodging a talkative God and the weight of her own past.

Yet beneath the swagger lies a quiet ache. Monnalisa wears a brave smile, but the lyrics reveal tears, loneliness, and a restless need to escape — even hopping a train to outrun the “serpent” of yesterday. “MALAVITA” becomes a cinematic snapshot of any young soul who dreams big, breaks rules, and pays the price. It invites listeners to feel the thrill of rebellion while recognising the vulnerability hidden behind the mask of cool.
