In questi mare di guai, grandi uomini a galla
In these seas of trouble, great men afloat
Escrementi e famiglie potenti non affondano mai
Excrement and powerful families never sink
Mentre il dollaro sale, il sudore va giù
As the dollar goes up, the sweat goes down
Per i ricchi la gloria dei cieli e per noi belzebù
For the rich the glory of heaven and for us beelzebub
Anche noi un po' così, tutti i giorni su e giù
We too a little like this, every day up and down
Calce, umore, cemento e mattoni
Lime, humor, cement and bricks
Mezzi litri e canzoni
Half-liters and songs
Come ammazzi la fame parte la fantasia
As you kill the hunger the fantasy starts
Da domani i padroni in galera, così parte la nostra primavera
From tomorrow the masters in jail, so starts our spring
A volte i sogni non si avverano e quando te ne accorgerai
Sometimes dreams don't come true and when you realize it
Non saprai se è notte oppure giorno e non avrai nessuno intorno
You won't know if it's night or day And you'll have no one around
E le ferite non si contano, come su un gatto di città
And the wounds are not counted, like on a city cat
Sulla sua pelle le lotte e l'amore raccontano la sua età
On her skin the struggles and love tell her age
E va bene così, non ti merito più
And that's okay, I don't deserve you anymore
Da domani un peone di meno e un guerriero di più
From tomorrow a peon less and a warrior more
Dal ponte dei desideri qualcuno si è buttato giù
From the bridge of wishes someone jumped off
Era soltanto la sua speranza, la testa e il cuore restano su
It was only his hope, head and heart stay up
E pugni cercano le nuvole, bandiere rosse e operai
And fists seek the clouds, red flags and workers
Lo sai che non puoi fermarti a pensare
You know you can't stop to think
È giunta l'ora di andare, vai!
It's time to go, go!
