It was the Christmas holidays

Of the year of that deadly cold

My Peugeot struggled in the cold

He coughed a little and started and stopped

A guy with a black fifty passed me

I saw him laughing I'm sure

From the top of his fifty of both me and the Peugeot

So I went home a little humiliated

With the ice that had entered from the nail

Deep in my wounded pride

That's when I suddenly realized

The risk of spending my life

On top of a Peugeot that trudges uphill

While someone with a fifty passes you, he laughs and goes

And everything goes as it should

Or at least that's what they say

And everything goes as it should

Or at least I hope so

The time of apples is gone

And pear hell arrived

Friends I would never see again

Slammed the thrown into the meal

To a reality that a few years later

He would have already collected his tribute

Alone or with the four magic letters

And there were those already settled

In society feared and respected

They looked with poorly concealed disgust

People they had lived with

There was no more time to talk

With people who were so inferior

Laughing at a Peugeot going uphill that can't make it

And everything goes as it should

Or at least that's what they say

And everything goes as it should

Or at least I hope so

And we are here at the foot of a street

Which goes up steep and bumpy

They call it the age of reason

Billions of people pass through it

I hope I can do it all

Look down when I get to the top

Even trudging like that very old Peugeot

And everything goes as it should

Or at least that's what they say

And everything goes as it should

Or at least I hope so

And everything goes as it should

Or at least that's what they say

And everything goes as it should

Or at least I hope so

arrancava — struggled / sputtered

Arrancava comes from the verb arrancare, which means to pull out, tear off, or start a motor. However, in the context of this song, it's used to describe something struggling or sputtering along.

The lyrics paint a picture of a cold winter day where the singer's old Peugeot car is "arrancava" (struggling) up a hill, barely making it. This vivid imagery of a struggling car becomes a metaphor for life's challenges and the effort required to overcome them, making it a memorable and relatable word.

This song, "Come Deve Andare" by 883, is a really relatable journey through different stages of life, all starting with a funny, slightly embarrassing moment! The singer remembers a freezing Christmas holiday when his old Peugeot car was struggling up a hill, coughing and stopping. Then, a guy on a moped with a "fifty nero" [black fifty] zooms past, laughing at him and his car. This moment of humiliation makes him realize he doesn't want to spend his life "Sopra a un Peugeot che arranca in salita" [on a Peugeot struggling uphill] while others pass him by.

As the song progresses, it moves beyond that initial car struggle to talk about growing up and facing the harsh realities of adulthood. He talks about friends he never saw again, thrown into a difficult reality, and others who were already "sistemati" [settled], looking down on people they once knew. It's a look at how life changes, how people change, and the hope that even if you're still "arrancando come quel vecchissimo Peugeot" [struggling like that very old Peugeot], you'll eventually make it to the top of the "strada che sale su ripida e dissestata" [road that climbs steep and uneven] – the age of reason. He hopes to look down from the summit, even if it's been a tough climb.
