trampoli — stilts

Trampoli translates to "stilts". It's an interesting and somewhat unusual word to find in a rap song, making it stand out.

In the lyrics, Capo Plaza sings, "Sopra un filo con i trampoli" (On a wire with stilts). This imagery powerfully conveys a sense of precarious balance and high-stakes risk, illustrating the dangerous and challenging path he navigates in his life and career.

In "Forte E Chiaro," which translates to "Loud and Clear," Capo Plaza paints a vivid picture of his journey from a difficult past to a successful present. He repeatedly contrasts his life before with his life now, reflecting on the sacrifices he remembers and the tough streets he came from. The lyrics describe a world that is "hell, not a walk in the park," filled with street fights and struggles for survival. He is a survivor, emerging from "the jungle without a scratch."

Now, things have changed. He talks about his success with images of big cars and rising earnings, defiantly telling everyone to "look at me now." Despite his success, there's a sense of toughness and distrust. He pushes himself to the limit and doesn't trust the "vipers" around him. The song is a powerful declaration of overcoming hardship, a message delivered, as the title suggests, loud and clear.
