Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Sudore Ci Appiccica by Francesco Gabbani from Italian to English.

By the way, I wanted to tell you

Life isn't bad

Even though feeling good isn't really that normal

Smile on the face, feints in the belly, innocent tears

What really matters if people

Hate people

By the way, I wanted to tell you that life isn't bad

By the way, what can you do

On these stairs you go down a bit and up a bit

Therefore probably

Number one counts for nothing

Anyway it doesn't matter anymore

If instead of giving people take

And still we dance

Like bubbles in the air

And we tag our faces

'Cause the hunt's reopened

And anyway we kiss

The Italian banana

Fearless hearts afloat

Butts, cigars and Havana, banana

Kiss kiss, hit hit

Kiss and hit

Sweat sticks us together

Darn

By the way, the other day I felt almost like someone else

Still I'm the same since the end of sex

Parents make kids and kids make parents

On the bed under a roof all inside

By the way, I wanted to tell you that life isn't bad

Buddy, what are you making me do

You steal, steal, steal then we've gotta pay it back

'Cause surely the craftiest thief steals nothing

He comes, smiles, turns, betrays, robs and disappears

And still we dance

Like bubbles in the air

And we tag our faces

'Cause the hunt's reopened

And anyway we kiss

The Italian banana

Fearless hearts afloat

Butts, cigars and Havana, banana

Kiss kiss, hit hit

Kiss and hit

Sweat sticks us together

Darn

Still I wanna get away but I can't find the station

I'll run off with a kite waiting for me at the gate

Still from my place I hardly see the nation

I see really well little bananas and big bananas

And still we dance

Like bubbles in the air

And we tag our faces

'Cause the hunt's reopened

And anyway we kiss

The Italian banana

Fearless hearts afloat

Butts, cigars and Havana, banana

Kiss kiss, hit hit

Kiss and hit

Sweat sticks us together

Darn

Outro

By the way, I wanted to tell you

No, nothing

SONG MEANING

Il Sudore Ci Appiccica ("Sweat Sticks Us Together") is Francesco Gabbani’s cheeky snapshot of modern life, served on a steamy dance-floor. Between irresistible hooks and tongue-twisting rhymes, Gabbani grins at life’s contradictions: “la vita non è male” even though real happiness feels rare, people smile while crying inside, and everyone both loves and hates “la gente.” The song bounces up and down the metaphorical staircase of existence, reminding us that being “number one” means nothing if society prefers taking instead of giving.

Yet, instead of preaching, Gabbani invites us to let go. We dance like bubbles in the air, tag selfies, kiss, tussle, and get gloriously sweaty together. Italian clichés—bananas, cigars, Havana nights—float by in carnival colors, poking fun at consumerism and social media vanity. Beneath the playful chaos lies a hopeful message: even when we feel lost, guilty, or ready to run away with a kite, shared music, movement, and laughter can glue us back together… just like sweat.
