These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Mi alzai dal banco degli imputati
I stood up from the dock
L'avvocato mi tirava per la manica per farmi capire che non dovevo parlare
The lawyer pulled my sleeve to make me understand that I shouldn't speak
Aveva l'aria impaurita
He looked scared
L'aria di chi non sa come gestire una situazione
The look of someone who doesn't know how to handle a situation
Come se al posto mio ci fosse lui
As if he were there in my place
Ero stato 48 ore chiuso in una cella a pensare a cosa dire
I had been locked in a cell for 48 hours thinking about what to say
Mi avevano fatto dormire con le luci accese
They made me sleep with the lights on
L'aria gelida e una coperta che puzzava di piscio
The freezing air and a blanket that smelled of piss
Mentre mi ripetevano: 'Questa volta sono cazzi tuoi
While they repeated to me: 'This time it's your business
Questa notte finite tutti in galera'
Tonight you'll all end up in jail
Avevo avuto giusto il tempo per cercare di non sembrare una cattiva persona
I'd had just enough time to try not to look like a bad person
Abbassandomi i capelli, togliendomi quei bracciali dal polso e le collane dal collo
Pulling my hair down, taking those bracelets off my wrist and necklaces off my neck
Come fossero catene che mi imprigionavano in un'altra persona
As if they were chains that imprisoned me in another person
Pensavo a mia madre
I was thinking about my mother
Quanto aveva fatto per evitarlo
How much she had done to avoid it
Ero davanti al bivio
I was at the crossroads
Dante lo descrive come un'immensa voragine
Dante describes it as an immense chasm
Che si spalanca nelle viscere della terra
Which opens up in the bowels of the earth
Questa cavità sotterranea si è aperta quando Lucifero
This underground cavity opened when Lucifer
Cacciato dal cielo dopo la sua ribellione a Dio
Cast out of heaven after his rebellion against God
Fu scaraventato al centro della terra
He was thrown to the center of the earth
Mi alzai in piedi e dissi: 'Signor Giudice, ho sbagliato'
I stood up and said, 'Mr. Judge, I made a mistake.'
E mentre l'avvocato mi tirava per quella manica pensavo solo
And while the lawyer was tugging at my sleeve I was just thinking
'Io non voglio finire cosi'
'I don't want to end up like this'
E qualcuno lassù
And someone up there
Lo sentì
He heard it
