Un pacco per te [English translation]

[Intro: Federica Napola]

They shine, how bright they shine

The shop windows’ lights at New York

Couples in crisis hanging on just for the hype

Ready for shopping before Christmas night

[Pre-Chorus 1: Lorella Cuccarini]

Dear Santa, from you this year

I want peace, joy, and a new necklace1

Techno nights and less Bublé

I want the best Christmas there is

[Chorus: Roberta Branchini]

A package/trick for you, I stand you up because2

I want the best Christmas there is

But I’ll leave you, telling you that

This year too there’s a package for you

[Verse 1: Eddy Veerus]

Me and my loser friends

We were bad kids

The worst kind from high school3

We were outcasts like candied fruit and when

I watch Home Alone, seriously

I always see myself

I never even got a gift

Because sometimes the thought is enough

[Pre-Chorus 1: Lorella Cuccarini]

Dear Santa, from you this year

I want peace, joy, and a new necklace

Techno nights and less Bublè

I want the best Christmas there is

[Chorus: Roberta Branchini]

A package/trick for you, I stand you up because

I want the best Christmas there is

But I’ll leave you, telling you that

This year too there’s a package for you

[Verse 2: Lorella Cuccarini]

We won’t be cold together

I won’t let you fall

Ice skating

I realize all of a sudden

That under the tree

[Pre-Chorus 2: Eddy Veerus]

There’s a package for you, I punch your ex

This Christmas you’re spending with me

I hate clichés, photos, and buffets

This year too we know that

[Chorus: Roberta Branchini]

There’s a package for you, I stand you up because

I want the best Christmas there is

But I’ll leave you, telling you that

This year too there’s a package for you

1. The French word “collier” is used instead of the Italian “collana” for necklace, because the song is satirizing pretentiousness.2. The entire song relies on wordplay of the Italian “pacco,” which means package but in slang also means con or trick. It has been turned into a slang verb “paccare,” which means to stand someone up on a date.3. In Italy, there are multiple forms of high schools. ITIS is more of a trade school.
