Lindsay Lohan's Italian tattoo meaning "the beautiful life" was supposed to say "life is beautiful"
Lindsay Lohan's Italian tattoo meaning "the beautiful life" was supposed to say "life is beautiful"

Italian tattoos come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The Italian cross, the Italian horn, the green, white and red Italian flag (including a number of variations of it, like the flag condensed in an outline of Italy or in an outline of stars). I've even seen a partially completed sleeve dedicated solely to Italian food; it features a plate of macaroni and meatballs, a jug of wine and a cannoli. Luckily, unlike Latin (which is an extinct language), Hebrew and Arabic (which are very complex languages that use specific character sets in lieu of letters, requiring an exact knowledge of calligraphy) or Gaelic (which has numerous different dialects), Italian is a fairly easy language to translate.

Most words that exist in English can be translated into Italian without much difficulty. As with the English language, however, be extra careful to make sure you get the Italian spelling correct. Reverse two letters and your beautiful, inspirational tat becomes nonsensical. I once saw an episode of "Miami Ink" on the TLC channel where the customer wanted "per sempre" tattooed on his arm, which is Italian for "forever". It wasn't the tattoo artists fault, because the customer had designed the lettering for the tat himself, but when it was finished it read "pre sempre" instead. It's only one letter off but this unfortunately means nothing in Italian.


Exercise caution when it comes to the popular Italian phrase "life is beautiful" which many people, including Lindsay Lohan, have been getting recently. "La vita e bella" is the correct translation, and even though it uses the same words, some people have been getting "la bella vita" which actually translates to "the beautiful life", and is used in Italy to describe someone who is living a life of wealth, throwing parties and spending extravagant amounts of money.

As with any tattoo that is done in a foreign language not your own, make sure you do your homework. Double check your translation with several sources. A native speaker is your best bet, someone who speaks Italian as their first language, English as their second, or vice versa. If a native speaker is not available to you, your next best bet is a Italian scholar who has studied the language extensively. Last but not least, there are several online translators who offer their services for free. Although they can be very useful, keep in mind that it is important to ensure your translation is correct by either using several different online translators or confirming it's accuracy with native speakers on an Italian forum or message board.

Here are some Italian sayings and phrases to get you started:


Esse nufesso qui dice male di macaruni -- Who speaks badly of Macaroni is a fool.

Quest' la vita e qui il gioire, un' ora di abbrezzo e poi moire -- This is life and this is joy: an hour of embracing and then to die.

L'amore domina senza regole -- Love rules without rules.

Chi più sa, meno crede -- The more one knows, the less one believes.

Finchè c'è vita c'è speranza -- Where there's life, there's hope.

L'amore e cieco -- Love is blind.

L'amore domina senza regole -- Love rules without rules.

Meglio un giorno da leone che cento da pecora -- Better one day as a lion than a hundred as a sheep.

Smuovere mare e monti -- To move heaven and earth.

Tale il padre, tale il figlio -- Like father, like son.

Tutto è permesso in guerra ed in amore -- All is fair in war and love.

Val più la pratica della grammatica -- Experience is more important than theory.

Vivi e lascia vivere -- Live and let live.

i just wanted to comment that in your quote: Quest' la vita e qui il gioire, un' ora di abbrezzo e poi moire -- This is life and this is joy: an hour of embracing and then to die. You spelled the word for "to die" wrong. I believe it is morire and not moire

Crysta  says:
2 years ago

it really bothers me to see "la bella vita".. it's supposed to be "la vita bella".. all adjectives follow the noun in italian

beautiful love would be "l'amore bella"

you can say "i love to love" and it would translate to "vivo amore"

a good family one would be "family forever" which would translate to "La famiglia sempre"

I am thinking of getting a new tattoo. I have 3 already but they have no meaning to me. Since i am Italian on both sides of my family i'd like to find a nice quote or phrase in Italian. I really like "La vita e' bella". It's short and sweet and its the only one i've really liked. Anybody have any ideas that might be a little better. i want something short and sweet either having to do with life or love or both! thanks much!

Elena, italian girl  says:

wow..i search english tattoos and i find italian tattoos (incorrect..)ok.. ____

Beautiful life is "la vita è bella"_________________"Who speaks badly of Macaroni is a fool". - Macaroni?!? maccheroni?? Pasta?!?!I'm not sure what is Macaroni But in correct italian is:

Chi parla male dei maccheroni è un fesso.

"è nu fesso chi dice male dei maccheroni" is half correct italian, half dialect of Napoli..__________________________This is life and this is joy: an hour of embracing and then to die.

"Questa è la vita e questa è la gioia: un'ora di abbracci e poi morire (or e poi la morte)_______________________________Love is blind -> L'amore è cieco (is--->è)_______________________________

Like father, like son. --> Tale padre, tale figlio__________________________________________

@Kay: beautiful love = amore bello__________________________

@girliegirlx3: live to love = vivere per amare

_______________________

@Rugbyplaya: my english is not perfect, i don't know the word "shall", it's for the hypotetic future?!? and i'm not sure for "sheds" and for "he who" but i think that is:

Colui che verserà il suo sangue assieme al mio sarà mio fratello__________________________________________

@E "One step closer" i'm not sure for the mean in english, i think that "un passo più vicino", but in the images is "un passo più uomo"but i think that isn't correct :S __________________________

@elizabeth "She flies with her own wings" flies is fly for her, yes?!? "lei vola con le sue ali"

______________________

@Lara in god we trust it's not easy... Noi crediamo in dio , Ci affidiamo a dio, Confidiamo in dio, are all correct but the mean.... i don't know what it is the best..

_______________________

@Jenny life is what you make it = La vita è quello che (tu) ne fai

____________________

@ Elizabeth Beautiful soul is "bella anima" or "anima bella" but the mean...

__________________

@Jane pashtagni'' (pashtagnay?) is not italian...

___________________

@Elizabet m Truth is Verità and Finchè c'è vita c'è speranza is correct

__________________

@ Morgan if you have to crawl to live stand and die "Se devi vivere strisciando, alzati e muori."_________________

@Michele "my beautiful life" --> La mia vita è bella, that in englis is "my life is beautiful", because "La mia vita bella" it's not beautiful.._________________

@Ky "sing and it will pass" "Canta che ti passa"

_____________________

@Kris: l'amore è come il vento, non posso vederlo ma posso sentirlo it's ok!! :)

_____________________

@Gina in italian not exist the literal translation.. "Unico amore" I think that is the best translation..

________________________

@Lexi, "love, faith, respect".. Love = amore, respect= rispettofaith... religious belief: fede, but is for "you think at the person" is fiducia (trust) and if is "faith for homeland" or "you are true whit other person is lealtà (loyalty).

________________

@Piper (i like you name!!!) "Verso il sogno"___________________

@Rickie: "Love is our future" "L'amore è il nostro futuro"

_____________________

@mitchellmommy: "always remember i love you" is "I remember" or "You remeber" ?!?!

I -> "ricorderò sempre che ti amo" --> litteral (I remeber always that i love you)

You-> "ricorda sempre che ti amo"

I will love you forever & always --> in italian always and forever isn't different because always is "sempre" and forever "per sempre"... "ti amerò per sempre" ________________________

strenght is "Forza" and believe... uff.. (have confidence in?!?) "speranza" ____________________

ok.. are the 2 of the morning.. at this time... good night!!

miis ro  says:

one of the pictures on the bottom, I believe the translation is wrong... "la PURA" means the THE PURE not the simple

reati  says:
16 months ago

also an italian....ppl gotta realize there are differnt dialects across italy...every province has variations, can even differ from city to city....

its easier to look at italian sayings and go from there, anytime you try to take a english saying and translate it to italian there is potential for trouble...some things in english dont tranlsate directly, or have no meaning together in italian...

so my advice would be research some italian sayings, and their respected english translation....and perhaps you will find something more authentic italian that both makes sense and is gramatically correct

kait  says:

elena, i'm not questioning you at all, but i was just wondering, how accurate are the things you wrote? i'm just scared to get something permanently on my body if it's not correct. my father was born in italy and speaks it fluently but he is calabrez so some things he and his family say are slang and i wanted to further research "sing and it will pass"... thank you! hopefully you read this.

how would you say "grow up and blow away" in italian please? :)

nick  says:

i really hope you all think about what you are doing before you go through with this. i came across this site looking for a tattoo design, and not only can people not write well in italian, but they can hardly write well in english. let me tell you something: you think coming up with some cute catchy phrase in english and turning it into italian makes it authentic. you HAVE to remember (and i know it may be hard for those of you who have never studied another language extensively) that even if a translation is PERFECT with word for word phrases, it would still make no sense to an italian.

also, i beg of you not to trust anyone on this site. not even me, and I live in Sardegna, have lived in Siena, and translate italian-to-english texts for a living. people here are transtlating things incorrectly, taking otherwise good translations and butchering them because they didn't match the phrase word for word in english, and even speaking of grammar completely incorrectly. anyone who tells you that ALL adjectives come after the noun should not be trusted. because, even though many adjectives do in fact follow the noun (la lingua e' difficile), there are still plenty of cases where the adjective precedes the noun. words like bello, vecchio, giovane, brutto, stesso, lungo, grande all come BEFORE the noun.

also, there are a million small mistakes posted here. for example, the translation of beautiful soul is what someone said: bella anima. however, they failed to mention that feminine nouns that begin with a vowel contract with preceding adjectives/articles/etc. so bella anima is actually bell'anima.

in conclusion, not only should you not trust random people on the internet who know a few words in italian and own a dictionary and therefore think that they are capable of translations (not to mention translations with two extremely difficult, complex, and dissimilar languages), but also you shouldn't just choose something "cute" in english and turn it into italian. that does not make it italian. it make it english written in italian. instead, try to find something with some real substance...something that exists in italian... because this is the real problem: if you want to translate the old italian "A chi dai il dito si prende anche un braccio" you get "To whom you a give a finger will also take an arm." that is a fine translation, but to us, it makes no sense. you would need to further render that into "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile." that is a good example of how you can't just turn one language into another. so stop taking advice from random know-nothings or know-some-but-not-enoughs. besides, "io so' io e voi nun siete un cazzo!"

Okay reading the last guy's comment-I agree, I would like an italian phrase that would be appropriate for this situation. My daughter's name is Rowan and I would like her name tatooed on my side with a phrase below it. Something equating to the fact that she is my ultimate love and reason for being. Not to mention I did not think that I could have children, desperately wanted one, and so she is like my miracle?????

is there a way to say love myself in italian?

ilu  says:
14 months ago

Hi all, I'm Italian.. so you all can ask me a translation..

"love myself" in italian is "amo me stesso" if you want to say "I love myself"..

"love life" in italian is "amo la vita" if you want to say "I love life"

"my beautiful love" is "mio bellissimo amore"

"live and be fearless" is "vivi e non avere paura"

"I love all things Italian" is "amo tutte le cose italiane"

"beautiful life" is "la vita è bellissima" (life is beautiful) or "bellissima vita" but it's not so good in Italian.. our languages are a bit different, then sometimes we cannot translate exactly a phrase..

does anyone know how to say: Life is too beautiful to take for granted, in Italian?

picchio  says:
13 months ago

"Life is too beautiful to take for granted" = "La vita è troppo bella per darla per scontata" literally, but the repetition of "per" does not sound really great... better "la vita è troppo bella per crederla dovuta", which is literally "life is too beautiful to think it's granted". Hope this helps. Cheers

PLEASE READ.......... For everyone on this site asking for a translation. You all need to grip your tiny little brains around the fact that English and Italian are different! And many times you can't translate an English "phrase" to Italian. The best you can do is translate each word, but you CAN NOT string them together to make a phrase in Italian. Just because alone the word means something DOES NOT mean it makes any sense what so ever strung into a sentence!!!! Now Im not saying this applies all the time, but in most of your cases it does.....

TO CRYSTA  says:

Crysta, you posted that "la bella vita" should be "la vita bella." You are wrong. Not all adjectives in italian follow the noun. Adjectives talking about beauty, age, number, goodness, or size are all adjectives that precede the noun.

Non aver paura; non scoraggiarti, perche' il Signore Dio tuo sara' con te ovunque tu vada" (LIT: Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid; don't discourage yourself, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go". Ovunque e dovunque in Italian is the same thing (wherever) but ovunque is more poetic.

Niky  says:

id x, 'i will love you forever' in Italian is "Ti amero' per sempre". "you're always in my heart" is "Sei sempre nel mio cuore" and "you'll always be in my heart" is "Sarai sempre nel mio cuore", depending if you want to use the present tense or the future tense. Ciao.

Niky  says:

Nikki, "Everything happens for a reason" is "tutto succede per una ragione". It's correct and a very true statement. A similar alternative could be: "There's a reason for everything" (C'e' una ragione per tutto). A native Italian like me would probably tattoo the second one since it's shorter and easier. I hope this help. Ciao

I have one tatto, a ladybug, means luck. Now I am getting another tattoo on my wrist in an Italian phrase! I am half Calabrais and half Sicilian but I do not speak Italian. I really wanted my Italian phrase to be said in southern Italian dialect or Sicilian dialect but, I have a friend who lives in the North, an hour from Venice. He gave me his version of an Italian translation

A beautiful love = un bellissimo amore(to) Live, (to) Laugh, (to) Love= Vivere, Ridere, Amare(you) Live, (you) Laugh, (you) Love= Vivi, Ridi, Ama

I am trying to decide between "A beautiful love" and "Live, Laugh, Love". Help me decide!!! Anyway, I know this is a long post but I saw others trying to get a translation for the two phrases that I am deciding between (with your help PLEASE) and wanted to help out! So there ya go!

ale  says:

Someone wrote that it should be La vita bella because in Italian the adj. goes after then noun, and they're correct. HOWEVER, La bella vita is MUCH more common in the spoken language and sounds better. If you tattoo La vita e' bella...make sure that you put the accent over the "e" because if you don't it'll read "life and pretty" because the "e" without the accent means "and" in Italian. I'm fluent in Italian and can tell you that many times people have translated things incorrectly on this site, so BE CAREFUL....I would ask the advice of someone that speaks Italian as their FIRST language not just someone that took Italian in high school or college!

g  says:

I have only studied Italian for 2 1/2 years but I noticed sooo many misspellings in the photos. If you're going to get a tattoo in a language you don't speak, ask yourself why you want it, because you can't fix it usually. On an episode of LA Ink, a guy wanted an Italian phrase containing the word "family" in it; no one on the show noticed, but the word was spelled the Spanish way, not the Italian way. If you want to reflect your heritage, do it with symbols, images, or things that actually mean something to you rather than misspelled words in a language you don't know.


Anyway I'm not a native speaker but here's the help I can provide:


@ktcakes: Crazy/beautiful is just the title of a film, so as far as it "existing" in Italian, I can't say it really does, but anyway. The word for crazy is pazzo (pazza is the feminine) and bello (bella is the feminine) means beautiful. I am guessing you are a lady so it would be "pazza bella," I suppose.


@Caz: One life="una vita"; live it is the imperative, like a command, so the translation would be"la vivi" or "la viva" for the formal. I think it would look better to say "una vita; vivi" without the la, which technically means "one life; live." Just my opinion. "Live and let live" is a rather English-oriented phrase; I think the translation would be "Vive e permetti vivere" but I am not sure.


@Ande: Use "fiera;" it's a more attractive word to say and read. "Orgoglioso" means the same thing EXCEPT it's masculine. If you want to use that word, use "orgogliosa."


@lyssa & kayla: "Love never fails" can be "l'amore non fallisce." Alternatively, "l'amore riesce" is "love succeeds." "She flies on her own wings" is, I think, "Lei vola sulle ali proprie" (minus the "lei" it means more or less the same thing; lei just indicates a female subject).


@Ryan C.: "Gli amici vengono e vanno, ma la famiglia e' per sempre." The e' is an e with a grave (accent going down from left to right). I have no idea what the translation you have means.


@mim: There is an excellent Italian book/movie called "Io non ho paura" meaning "I have no fear" or "I am not scared."


A really excellent Italian dictionary online is www.garzantilinguistica.it. You need to sign up but it's free and there are verb tables, etc. It is written from an Italian point of view rather than an English one so it is more precise.

Hey so again everyone if you are not sureee and are asking random people what things mean in italian you migghht just not know enough to trust people, again different dialects from each place to me all or most of those are wrong because sicily has a different dialect, and might mean the same for your familys heritage i am getting a tattoo allsooo but my whole family speaks it, and i trust them much more then people who are or may be using translators that are mostly wrong and write things crazyy =) but im just warning everyone its a big step and can take it back so think before your reading things thinking its not on your body forever, talk to a person who speaks italian fluently not a translator it will work much better and beleive me if you all have the italian heritage someone in your family sshallll speak it well enough!

Lupo  says:
6 months ago

so:


"where there is life, there is hope" = dove c'è vita, c'è speranza


embrace your dream = well..."embrace" literally is "abbraccia" but "abbraccia i tuoi sogni" doesn't make any sense, it could be "insegui i tuoi sogni " that's "follow your dreams".


follow your heart = is "segui il tuo cuore" ("insegui" is used when you have to achieve something...i don't know how to explain....example, in a rece, the second whant to catch the first one, right? well what he is doing is "inseguire". we use "segui" when you have to follow something, example "follow me" is "seguimi")


cherish your life = i really don't know how to translate this...


while i brathe, i hope = "mentre respiro, spero" but it doesn't sound so good in italian...


live each day as if it were the last = this is simple "vivi ogni giorno come se fosse l'ultimo", it's a famous phrase here too



so, i please anybody to not make a tattoo on the phrase i translate. I'm italian and i'm trying to help who whants to know the traslation of an english phrase in italian, but my english sucks big time!


so, if you want to know a translation, i can try to do it for you.


bye

Lupo  says:

to Nichole,


that's right, we have a lot of dialects and it depends on where you live, but the italian lenguage is one.


I mean, the different dialects are different ways to speak, not differents ways to write. for example If you listen to televistion, they speak normal italian.

Nichole  says:

Yes i know but have you noticed that there all using translators and its like almost worse than when schools try to teach italian it just sounds wrong, and yes ive listend to the tv and they speak italian but if people want it as there heritage id go with family, like my family wants me to do my tattoo in a different dialect because we are not from northern italy at all and there dialect is very much differnt. and to EVERYONE dont use translators..there no trustworthy, italian speaking people will help way more.. hahaha

no problem Tara.


ther's a big difference between "finché" and "dove"


generally:


"dove" = "where" example: "where are you going?" = "dove stai andando"


"finche" = "until" example: "until death do us part" = "finché morte non ci separi"


but like every lenguage a word depense on the phrase you use it in

limitless  says:

Hi there i am italian, There are many ways to translate a phrase to italian, it's not that easy. You can give a sense or another by using some word instead of another, or even according to their sequence, so you should be careful since that tattoo will always be impressed on your skin. Since i enjoyed this thread and thinking some of you will have an italian sentence on his skin if you like a translation or a suggestion, feel free to write in this blog, or send me a mail to a_z72 (at) yahoo.com


Consider the following ones, they're ancient latin instead of current italian, but if i would make a tattoo i would consider them:


habere non haberi > to own, not to be own


memento audere semper > remember to always dare


(They were created by gabriele d'annunzio, a '900 italian poet and writer)



la vita è una maestra severa > Life is a severe (harsh) teacher



Slim > Silence is a source of great strength > Il silenzio è fonte di grande forza

Live with no no limits and No regrets > Vivere (to live or 'vivi' you live) senza limiti e rimpianti


One step closer > un passo più vicino (literally, or "un passo avanti" a step forward)



I want to embrace my dreams with you > voglio abbracciare i miei sogni con te (literally, maybe you ment "weave" so "voglio intrecciare i miei sogni con te), but it sounds better to me "abbraccia i miei sogni" (embrace my dreams)

Matteo  says:

I am beautiful translates to "Sono bella or "Io sono bella". Either way works, but "Io sono bella" is more of a declarative statement.



"Love rules without rules" literally translates to "L'amore domina senza regole" but it doesn't sound as nice as its English counterpart.

What would be the best Italian translation for 'let us surrender to love' ?

limitless  says:
2 months ago

Lauren, according to the best translatione should be "Arrenditi all'amore" (that literally is '(you) surrender to love'


TGE: memento vivere sounds very good, but it's latin not italian. You could consider also 'live every day like it is the last one' = Vivi ogni giorno come fosse l'ultimo


now i purpose you a quote from an ancient italian poet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_de'_Medici) "Chi vuol esser lieto sia, del doman non v'è certezza" / "everybody could hav fun, tomorrow is not certain", it sounds ancient language, but i like the motto

Silvia from Italy  says:
2 months ago

to Sheena: "live, love and be wild" is "Vivi, ama e sii selvaggio"


"sii" with two i it's the Italian meaning of "be" in that specific sentence.



to tony : "my sacrifice to God" --> "Il mio sacrificio a Dio"



to Kaycee : they are both incorrect! But I don't realy understand the meaning you would give to "Live love life". If you want to say: "live a life of love" the correct traduction in "Vivi una vita d'amore", if you want to say: "live and love your life" the traduction is "Vivi e ama la vita".



to hummingbird.2009: "WE CANNOT LEARN WITHOUT PAIN" --> "Non possiamo imparare senza soffrire"



to LiNDZ: that is an horrible translation! It isn't italian! it's a strange languange who they invented at the moment! xD


The right spelling for that is: "Quello che non mi uccide, mi rende più forte" or "Quello che non uccide, fortifica" if you want a shorter version, but the meaning it's the same!

(you) Walk by faith, and believe always in love = cammina nella fede e credi sempre nell'amore

limitless  says:

"trust internal faith" (trust the faith within yourself) = Abbi fede in te stessa (female)


or what about: credi in te stessa (believe in yourself)

Can someone help me translate either:



Family is everything or family over everything? I want to see which sounds better for a tattoo. And any ideas where it should go? My first tattoo is a chainlink of hearts down the side of my right boob, I need it to go some where that it can't be seen in short sleeves or anything backless or in shorts because I'm going to be an elementary school teacher. I also don't really want it to be someone where it could possibly be seen in my wedding dress (like on my back) I really want the tattoo...I'm afraid I can't handle the pain on the ribs, I've heard how horrible that it is...Thanks for any suggestions!

hello,


limitless, can you please help me translate "somewhere, there's someone who dreams of your smile"?


thank you so much. you're so helpful!

limitless  says:
2 months ago

priya > "da qualche parte c'è qualcuno che sogna il tuo sorriso", but i don't like it so much, maybe it sounds better "C'è un posto dove qualcuno sta sognando il tuo sorriso" (there's a place where someone's dreaming about your smile) ... let me know



Lindz > "Che noh mi uccide mi fa solo piu forte" spelling errors. Correct: "Ciò che non mi uccide mi rende più forte" that is "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger"



Giana > "live your life" > "vivi la tua vita". Or "vivi la vita", "live the life"



sg22 > blood brothers > fratelli di sangue



full blooded sicillian > forever grateful > per sempre riconoscente (sounds better in english)



Dana > "I want you forever in my arms" > (ti voglio) per sempre tra le mie braccia


"Daddys Little Girl" > Piccola di papà



"I wont give up on you", i think you mean "conterò per sempre su di te"


Mel > Yes



Bye

Guys, I would suggest to look for some italian expressions instead of trying to translate something that doesn't sound authentic in italian...


Anyway, I'm italian too, if you need some help in translating something feel free to e-mail me but, please, don't tattoo something that could be incorrect or gramatically illegal!I've seen lots of mistakes over here...


Ciao!

I have looked at all of the post on here. i have a question in re some of the persons doing the translations...


i have some copies of family letters dating back a good 60+ years...i need some help translating, ive taking 4 different lang classes over the years, so i have some idea about words and phrases in them, but... so if i coud get an email address, i might be able to scan them and send them, or mail them the old fashioned way, like i said i have copies, the originals are safe. these were sent from family out of Sicily, they are writtin in cursive, not easy to read, but, my grandmother is 89 and she just recently showed them to me wondering if i could read them,

woody89 > forza e onore mean strengh and honour


kierstin > live the life you love, love the life you live in italian = "Vivi la vita che ami, ama la vita che vivi". the little things (in life) make big moments = (version i like) "Le piccole cose (nella vita) creano grandi momenti"

if i wanted to get beautiful disaster how would that translate...i've researched and found so many different opinions...the research i've done i've come up with bella and then disastro for beautiful and disaster, but i've also come across another form of disaster...frana - i know it means landslide and such but an alternative definition i've found in several places say that it also means disaster (to be hopeless at)....if i got bella on my right wrist and then frana on my left wrist what would that really mean?
