Goodbye Malinconia Lyrics in English by Caparezza, Tony Hadley
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Goodbye Malinconia by Caparezza from Italian to English.
A Malincònia tutti nell'angolo, tutti che piangono
In Malincònia everyone's in the corner, everyone's crying
Toccano il fondo come l'Andrea Doria
They hit rock bottom like the Andrea Doria
Chi lavora non tiene dimora
Whoever works doesn't have a home
Tutti in mutande, non quelle di Borat
Everyone in their underwear, not Borat's
La gente è sola, beve poi soffoca come John Bonham
People are alone, they drink then choke like John Bonham
La giunta è sorda più di Beethoven quando compone la nona
The council is deafer than Beethoven when he composed the ninth
E pensare che per Dante questo era il 'bel paese là dove 'l sì sona'
And to think that for Dante this was the "beautiful country where 'yes' is sounded"
Per pagare le spese bastava un diploma, non fare la star o l'icona
To pay the bills a diploma was enough, not being a star or an icon
Né buttarsi in politica con i curricula presi da Staller Ilona
Nor throwing oneself into politics with resumes taken from Ilona Staller
Nemmeno il caffè sa più di caffè, ma sa di caffè di Sindona
Not even coffee tastes like coffee anymore, but it tastes like Sindona's coffee
E poi se ne vanno tutti, da qua se ne vanno tutti
And then everyone leaves, everyone leaves from here
Non te ne accorgi ma da da da qua se ne va vanno tutti
You don't notice but everyone leaves from here
E poi se ne vanno tutti, da qua se ne vanno tutti
And then everyone leaves, everyone leaves from here
Non te ne accorgi ma da qua se ne vanno tutti
You don't notice but everyone leaves from here

Cervelli in fuga, capitali in fuga
Brain drain, capital flight
Migranti in fuga dal bagnasciuga
Migrants fleeing from the shoreline
È Malincònia, terra di santi subito e sanguisuga
It's Malincònia, land of instant saints and leeches
Il paese del sole, in pratica oggi paese dei raggi UVA
The country of the sun, in practice today the country of UVA rays
Non è l'impressione, la situazione è più grave di un basso tuba
It's not an impression, the situation is more serious than a tuba bass
E chi vuole rimanere, ma come fa?
And whoever wants to stay, but how can they?
Ha le mani legate come Andromeda
They have their hands tied like Andromeda
Qua ogni rapporto si complica
Here every relationship gets complicated
Come quello di Washington con Teheran
Like that of Washington with Tehran
Si peggiora con l'età, ti viene il broncio da Gary Coleman
It gets worse with age, you get a pout like Gary Coleman
Metti nella valigia la collera e scappa da Malincònia
Put your anger in your suitcase and escape from Malincònia
Tanto se ne vanno tutti, da qua se ne vanno tutti
Anyway everyone leaves, everyone leaves from here
Non te ne accorgi ma da qua qua se ne va vanno tutti

Dimmi chi ti ha ridotta in questo stato d'animo
Tell me who reduced you to this state of mind
Every step was out of place
Every step was out of place
And in this world we fell from grace
And in this world we fell from grace
Looking back we lost our way
Looking back we lost our way
An innocent time we all betrayed
An innocent time we all betrayed
And in time can we all learn
And in time can we all learn
Not to crawl away and burn
Not to crawl away and burn
Stand up and don't fall down
Stand up and don't fall down
Be a king for a day
Be a king for a day
In man we all pray
In man we all pray
We all pray
We all pray
Ooh, we all pray
Ooh, we all pray
