Verse 1

I'm twenty years old

So don't be surprised if from nothing I make drama

Or: So don't be surprised if I make a fuss (overreact) out of nothing

I'm afraid of leaving only money to the world

That my name disappears among all the others

But I'm only twenty years old

And I already ask forgiveness for the mistakes that I've made

But the road is harder when you're aiming for the sky

So choose the things that are truly important

Choose love or diamonds, demons or saints

Prechorus 1

And you'll be ready to fight, or you'll walk away

And you'll blame others or the blame will be yours

You will run straight towards the sun or towards the dark

You'll be ready to fight, to always seek freedom

Chorus 1

And go one step forward, always be true

Explain what is color to those who see black and white

And go one step forward, always be true

And promise tomorrow to everyone you'll talk about me

And although I'm only twenty years old, I'll have to run

Verse 2

I'm twenty years old

And I don't give a damn, I've nothing to prove to you

I'm not like you who gives the soul to money

Or: I'm not like you, giving your soul for money

From the eyes of the pure you're only cowards

Or: In the eyes of those who are pure, you're just cowards

Chorus 2

And go one step forward, always be true

Explain what is color to those who see black and white

And go one step forward, always be true

And promise tomorrow to everyone you'll talk about me

And although I'm only twenty years old, I'll have to run

Postchorus 2

And you'll be ready to fight, or you'll walk away

And you'll blame others or the blame will be yours

You will run straight towards the sun or towards the dark

You'll be ready to fight, to always seek freedom

Outro

You're twenty years old

I'm writing to you now before it's too late

And the doubt of being nobody will hurt

You'll be someone if you stay different from others

But you're only twenty years old

codardi — cowards

Codardi is the Italian word for "cowards". It's a powerful and dramatic word that perfectly captures the rebellious spirit of this Måneskin anthem.

In the song, the band sings, "Dagli occhi di chi è puro siete soltanto codardi" (From the eyes of the pure, you are only cowards). They use this sharp insult to challenge those who value money over authenticity, defiantly separating themselves and their generation from a system they see as corrupt and fearful.

“VENT'ANNI” captures the electric whirlwind of being twenty: that age when every feeling is cranked up to maximum volume. Måneskin’s singer admits he can turn small things into high-stakes drama, terrified that his name might dissolve into the crowd and leave nothing behind but cash. Over roaring guitars, he lists the crossroads young adults face—love or diamonds, demons or saints—and the constant fear of chasing the sky while stumbling on rough ground.

The song is both a confession and a pep-talk. It warns that you can either blame the world or own your choices, sprint toward sunlight or slip into darkness. Yet its main message is fiercely optimistic: keep moving a step ahead, speak in color to those who see in black-and-white, and stay unmistakably you. With its raw rock energy and Italian flair, “VENT'ANNI” becomes an anthem for anyone standing at the gateway of adulthood, determined to fight for freedom, authenticity, and a legacy that outshines mere money.
