Italodisco marked the summer of 2023. Not only in Italy, but in all the countries where it entered the rankings: Switzerland, Lithuania, Germany, Russia. Now, however, The Kolors are preparing to make the big leap: contacted by Warner USA, they have put together a English version of the hit.
The English text of Italodisco
I try to answer my desires
Then stay up late with synthesizers
In the studio
But something’s missing in the wires
It’s like the music’s lost the fire
Had it all, let it go
When you were here, I never feared
And everything could disappear
And I would sit alone in silence (Silence)
I need to get back to the sound
That can lift me off the ground
I pray the speakers give my guidance (Guidance)
I trust you more than words can say
More than life, more than any DJ
Let’s go, I can’t resist
Italodisco, I must insist
But maybe we could start just by taking it slow
Then up the tempo
Under the moon’s glow, like moving shadows (Ah)
I know it’s not Ibiza
Four on the floor with my señorita
Got me looking high and low, but I can’t see her
But every time I think I do or I think of you
I hear Italodisco
I’m so distracted overthinking
So many questions in my head
Why’d you leave? Where’d you go?
I’m on the dance floor, but it’s sinking
And I don’t think my heart will float-oat-oat-oat
When you were here, I had no fear
But always music in my ears
You made my heart beat like no others
I miss you more than words can say
More than life, more than any DJ
Let’s go, I can’t resist
Italodisco, I must insist
But maybe we could start just by taking it slow
Then up the tempo
Under the moon’s glow, like moving shadows (Ah)
I know it’s not Ibiza
Four on the floor with my señorita
Got me looking high and low, but I can’t see her
But every time I think I do or I think of you
I hear Italodisco
(Disco, play Italodisco)
(Disco, play Italo–)
Tonight, we’re gonna dance till the sunrise
Moroder is in my blood
And my heart beats to the rhythm of the disco, Italodisco
I know it’s not Ibiza
Four on the floor with my señorita
Got me looking high and low, but I can’t see her
But every time I think I do or I think of you
I hear Italodisco
I hear Italodisco
But every time I think I do or I think of you
I hear Italodisco
A slightly different version
Stash, the frontman of The Kolors, said he was contacted by Warner Italia. The record label had just spoken to Warner USAinterested in launching Italodisco on the American market. So, between one hotel room and another, between one concert and another, the group worked on a “new” version of the single. In fact, it is not a true translation: the Italian references have been removed (from Righeira’s bass at Festivalbar), so as to give the text a more international flavour. But verbs like “resisto” and “insist” remained, Italianized on purpose. After Maneskin, therefore, another Italian group is preparing to conquer the United States. With different music, with a different rhythm, but with an extraordinarily similar dream.
