POCO/TROPPO Lyrics in English Geolier
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song POCO/TROPPO by Geolier from Italian to English.
Nun teng a' cap pe te ricere e' bucie
I don't have the head to tell you lies
Nun teng manche a' cap e te ricere chi song ie
I don't even have the head to tell you who I am
Chieste sciem so' serpient nun agg ranggion o' mj
These fools are snakes, I'm not to blame
Pecchè cà abbasc si vaj buon caccene a' gelusie
Because down here if you're doing well, they get jealous
Famm o' traggitt accant a' banche
I take the route next to the bank
Appen tras immobilizzo a' guardie
As soon as I'm in, I immobilize the guard
Fra ce pigjiamme a' sott terr e mett sotto ò camp
Bro, we grab it from the vault and bury it
Cheste è pecchè comme te viest sott e 30 comme camp
This is because how you dress under 30 is how you live
Frigorifere vacante sott e trenc mani in alto, yeah
Empty refrigerators, in the trenches, hands up, yeah
L'omme nun o' pese cù l'IBAN o' me sbaglie
You don't measure a man by his IBAN, or am I wrong?
Nà cos accussì elementare cà abbasce nun à sanne
Something so simple, down here they don't know it
Rind o' locale fra t'osserve, se stà accorte fra nu ball
Inside the club, bro, he observes you, he's watchful between dances
Loc o' bimbe annanze o' fierr te rà a' botte fra nun se mball, yeah
Here the kid in front of a gun will shoot you, bro, he doesn't f*ck around, yeah
Piglie amicizie cò spazzine cà spazze tutt o' marciapied ra' banche
Make friends with the street sweeper who sweeps the whole sidewalk of the bank
Racce nu cell appene vere o' blindat ce chiamme
Give him a cell, as soon as he sees the armored truck, he calls us
Si o' arrrestene addà ricere m'hann obbligat cu l'arme
If they arrest him, he has to say they forced me at gunpoint
Ossacce già ce cante intant, è megl l'apparì
Sh*t, he's already snitching, meanwhile, it's better to keep up appearances
Pecciò o' brillant ossaj ca nu tene a' caratur
That's why the diamond, you know, doesn't have the carat weight
Cà abbasce e fra vennene pe crescere e criature
Down here, the bros sell to raise their kids
Contr o' prevenire nun ce sta cure
There's no cure for being on guard
Insieme a' na 9 stà chell a' tambure
Along with a 9mm, there's the one with the drum
Sai ca nun ce stà niente e' car
You know there's nothing dear
Nient e' reale
Nothing's real
Me ne accorghe mentre vole a copp
I realize it while flying high
Ra cà ngopp pare poche o troppe
From up here it seems too little or too much
Nun dicere cà sto sbaglianne
Don't say I'm wrong
Si pò cumme riche cà cià facce
If I then say that I'll make it
Pecchè cà na prumesse val troppo chiù e' tutt' l'oro cà vulesse pe' me
Because here a promise is worth much more than all the gold I'd want for myself
Mamma cà abbasce pare a' giungla
Mom, down here it's like a jungle
Primme cà te faj vecchieg facce o' zumpe
Before I get old, I'll make the leap
Aggià arrivà a nu punte mette punte cu na' punte
I have to reach a point, to end it with a blade
Nu mostre fra t'accire si nun o'frunte
A monster, bro, kills you if you don't face it
Dipendente ca s'arrange mentre o'maste se fà e cunte, yeah
The employee who gets by while the boss counts his money, yeah
Picciò nu frate loc 'bbasce nun leve maj l'orgoglie
That's why a brother down here never loses his pride
Pecchè si staj c'abbasce te a' levà o' rilogge
Because if you're down here, you have to take off your watch
Pecchè simme cuntente chiù rind cuntente rind e juorne e' pioggie
Because we're happy, happier on rainy days
Pecchè niente e' sicure sulamente a morte
Because nothing's certain, only death
È tutte scritte, chi ò scrive? chi legge ò testo?
It's all written, who writes it? who reads the text?
Bambine sfide ò sbirre mentre o' pate arrestene
Kids defy the cop while they arrest his father
Fà nu furte rind e' buste rind a' banca
Stealing from the envelopes in the bank
Rind all'armadie tuta nere, rind a scarpiere e' TN, yeah
In the closet black tracksuits, in the shoe rack TNs, yeah
Nun saj si è scennere cà maschera oppure c'o fierre mmane
You don't know whether to go down with a mask or with a gun in hand
C'abbasce nun saj si so' essere umane oppure sò squale
Down here you don't know if they're human beings or sharks
Pigjie e' bustine cu tutte e tute re squadre
You take the baggies with all the team tracksuits
Cheste è pecchè o' pate o' vere sultante arinde e 'quadre
This is because he only sees his father in pictures
Cà abbasce nun pensene a' fà e figlie ma pensene a' fà e' chile
Down here they don't think about having kids, they think about making kilos
L'ore le a' tenè arinde robbe ngoppe a' t-shirt cà te brille
The gold, you gotta keep it inside, while stuff on your t-shirt shines
Appene scenne l'omme facce o' squille
As soon as the man gets out, I make the call
O'iett nderr arape a' porte e iett à valiggette arind
I throw him to the ground, open the door and throw the briefcase inside
Mbarete e' tecniche e' chi sopravvive
Learn the techniques of those who survive
Si tien sete fra nu beve
If you're thirsty, bro, don't drink
L'importate è cà nu chile addiventene due chile
The important thing is that one kilo becomes two kilos
Si nun porte o' llatte e' figlie rimme comme m'arretire
If I don't bring milk for the kids, tell me how I can back down
Sai ca nun ce stà niente e' car
You know there's nothing dear
Nient e' reale
Nothing's real
Me ne accorghe mentre vole a copp
I realize it while flying high
Ra cà ngopp pare poche o troppe
From up here it seems too little or too much
Nun dicere cà sto sbaglianne
Don't say I'm wrong
Si pò cumme riche cà cià facce
If I then say that I'll make it
Pecchè cà na prumesse val troppo chiù e' tutt' l'oro cà vulesse pe' me
Because here a promise is worth much more than all the gold I'd want for myself
Voje tuccà o' nfunne
I want to touch the bottom
Che piere o' che parole
With my feet or with my words
Verè chi affonne cu'mmè
To see who sinks with me
Ossaje ognune guarde o' suoje
You know everyone looks out for themselves
