L'Età Dei Figuranti Lyrics in English by Caparezza
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'Età Dei Figuranti by Caparezza from Italian to English.
Buonasera e benvenuti ad una nuova puntata di Stato Interessante
Good evening and welcome to a new episode of Interesting State
Stasera parleremo del ruolo dell'informazione
Tonight we'll talk about the role of information
In questo paese di grandissimi fi-
In this country of very big f*-
Suo papà l'ha abbandonata che aveva tre anni
Her dad abandoned her when she was three years old
Per sposarsi con un transessuale (oh, fammi parlare stronza)
To marry a transsexual (oh, let me speak, b*tch)
Qualcuno vuole dire la sua?
Does anyone want to have their say?
Ma che bella trasmissione
What a beautiful show
Somiglia con precisione alla poltiglia marrone
It precisely resembles the brown mush
Delle mie chiappone dopo colazione
From my big a** after breakfast
Ma dov'è il pudore di queste persone?
But where is the decency of these people?
Pagate per dare un opinione, drogate dalla televisione
Paid to give an opinion, drugged by television
Genitori orchi, figli Snorky
Ogre parents, Snorky children
Parenti contenti di stare in TV a lavare panni sporchi
Relatives happy to be on TV airing dirty laundry
Cerchi nuovi sbocchi per gli occhi
You look for new outlets for your eyes
Fai zapping e ti shocki, trovi sciocchi gli show che imbocchi
You zap and you're shocked, you find the shows you tune into foolish
Ti incacchi con presentatori ingrati, stipendiati da innamorati
You get p*ssed off with ungrateful presenters, paid by lovers
Casi umani spesso interpretati da attori improvvisati
Human interest stories often played by improvised actors
Ballerini incalliti giudicati da maleducati
Hardened dancers judged by rude people
Loro saranno famosi? Noi saremo frustrati
Will they be famous? We'll be frustrated
Abituati ad una TV accesa che ci pare spenta
Used to a TV on that seems off to us
Ci pesa la gente che s'accontenta da casa
The people who are content from home weigh on us
Non s'addormenta ma si gasa, commenta
They don't fall asleep but get hyped up, comment
E segue attenta 'sto scempio mentre lo share aumenta
And carefully follows this disgrace while the share increases
Perché nella vita vince chi figura
Because in life, whoever appears wins
Farà passi da gigante chi figura
Whoever appears will make giant strides
Possiamo farlo tutti quanti
We can all do it
Benvenuti nell'età dei figuranti, eh
Welcome to the age of extras, eh
Perché nella vita vince chi figura
Because in life, whoever appears wins
Farà passi da gigante chi figura
Whoever appears will make giant strides
Lo mette in culo a tutti quanti
He shoves it up everyone's a**
Benvenuti nell'età dei figuranti, eh
Welcome to the age of extras, eh
Buona sera signor Rezza Capa, prego si accomodi
Good evening Mr. Rezza Capa, please make yourself comfortable
Oggi vali poco se appoggi e tanto quanto distruggi
Today you're worth little if you support and much if you destroy
Immagina una pagina di insulti insulsi
Imagine a page of insipid insults
Roba da lama nei polsi
Stuff for a blade in the wrists
Morsi e pochi rimorsi, mai pronti i soccorsi
Bites and few regrets, help never ready
Aborro questi discorsi
I abhor these speeches
Nei salotti TV figuranti stolti fanno più
In TV talk shows, foolish extras get more
Ascolti di molti programmi colti
Ratings than many cultured programs
Tant'è che tanti li han tolti dando potere a spalti di giudicanti
So much so that many have removed them, giving power to stands of judges
Tanti re, pochi fanti
Many kings, few pawns
Nei comizi tizi arroganti attizzano
In rallies, arrogant guys stir up
Tizzoni ardenti schizzano
Burning embers splash
Epiteti pesanti, vanti
Heavy epithets, boasts
Venti spinti da fiati spenti soffiano
Winds driven by spent breaths blow
Intenti ad abbattere abbattono
Intent on tearing down, they tear down
E gli abbattuti si battono finché possono, poi capitolano
And the torn down fight as long as they can, then they capitulate
Capito non ho il capitolo che sto scrivendo
I haven't understood the chapter I'm writing
Non mi offendo né mi sorprendo se ti difendo
I don't get offended nor surprised if I defend you
Così facendo rendo per ciò che innalzo, per ciò che stendo
By doing so, I yield for what I raise, for what I spread
Perché nella vita vince chi figura
Because in life, whoever appears wins
Farà passi da gigante chi figura
Whoever appears will make giant strides
Possiamo farlo tutti quanti
We can all do it
Benvenuti nell'età dei figuranti, eh
Welcome to the age of extras, eh
Perché nella vita vince chi figura
Because in life, whoever appears wins
Farà passi da gigante chi figura
Whoever appears will make giant strides
Lo mette in culo a tutti quanti
He shoves it up everyone's a**
Benvenuti nell'età dei figuranti, eh
Welcome to the age of extras, eh

Se vorrai potrai figurare anche tu
If you want, you can also appear
Vedrai che il mondo ti sorriderà
You'll see that the world will smile at you
