Prosopagnosia Lyrics in English Caparezza , John De Leo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Prosopagnosia by Caparezza from Italian to English.
Rullino i tambur nuovi calembour
I roll the new tambourine wordplay
Dischi e ancora tour, Whisky, Troubadour
Records and still on tour, Whisky, Troubadour
In hotel frutta in più nella nuova DUS
In the hotel, extra fruit in the new DUS
Non ho figli col grembiule nello scuolabus
I don't have children with aprons on the school bus
Quando ascolto i miei coetanei sembrano più grandi
When I listen to my peers, they seem older
È il vissuto che fa l'età non i compleanni
It's life experience that determines age, not birthdays
Io che mi comporto ancora come i loro pargoli
I still behave like their little ones
Tra le mani gli album e non riesco a completarli
With albums in my hands that I can't seem to finish
Qualcosa sta bloccando l'ingranaggio
Something is blocking the gears
'Siccome immobile' sto sul palco del 5 Maggio
'Since I'm still' standing on the stage of May 5th
Cantavo per fuggire dal mondo in un solo slancio
I used to sing to escape the world in one leap
Ora che cantare è il mio mondo ne sono ostaggio
Now that singing is my world, I'm its hostage
Non sono più lo stesso di un secondo fa
I'm no longer the same as a second ago
Nel mio caso, fidati, pure un secondo fa
In my case, trust me, not even a second ago
Al mattino la mia voce roca brontola
In the morning, my hoarse voice grumbles
Dice 'mettici una croce sopra', Golgota
Saying 'put a cross on it', Golgotha
And if you call my name
And if you call my name
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
If I look at my face
If I look at my face
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
Ma quale tribuno del popolo
But what kind of people's tribune
Mi viene sonno dormo più a lungo di Totoro
I'm getting sleepy, I sleep longer than Totoro
Fuori salta tutto in aria con le molotov
Everything explodes outside with Molotov cocktails
Mentre sul divano accorcio il divario con Oblomov
While on the couch, I bridge the gap with Oblomov
Annoiarmi come fanno gli altri in fondo è meglio
Getting bored like others is better in the end
Passo gli anni come Mastroianni in '8 e 1/2'
I spend the years like Mastroianni in '8 1/2'
Scrivo, va bene
I write, okay
Rileggo, non va bene, esco
I reread, not okay, I go out
Vita breve, tipo 'di Adele' senza le scene lesbo
Short life, like 'Adele' without the lesbian scenes
Attaccato alla penna come la stampa al cronista
Attached to the pen like the press to the journalist
Le parole crociate come santa conquista
Crossword words like a holy conquest
Da stacanovista a 'staccanovista' perché stacco spesso
From workaholic to 'overworker' because I take breaks often
E quando scrivo un pezzo qua stappano Crystal
And when I write a piece, they pop open Crystal
Tanto per quanta fama ricevi
As much as fame you receive
Avrà sempre più paganti la fontana di Trevi
The Trevi Fountain will always have more payers
Non ha senso recitare la parte degli incompresi
It doesn't make sense to play the role of the misunderstood
Con tutti dalla mia parte, con tutti così cortesi
With everyone on my side, with everyone so courteous
And if you call my name
And if you call my name
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
If I look at my face
If I look at my face
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
Non mi riconosco più, prosopagnosia
I don't recognize myself anymore, prosopagnosia
Sto cantando ma il mio volto non è divertito
I'm singing but my face isn't amused
Quasi non capisco più quale brano sia
I
Ogni volta mi riascolto e sono risentito
Every time I listen to myself again and I'm offended
Un video di chirurgia ricorda a me stesso
A surgery video reminds myself
Che può essere sgradevole guardarsi dentro
Which can be unpleasant to look inside
Fino a diventare oggetto del proprio disprezzo
To the point of becoming the object of one's own contempt
E dire 'Sono io sputato quello nello specchio!'
And say 'I'm the one spitting in the mirror!'
E non aspetto altro
And I can't wait for anything else
Che avere un altro aspetto
Than having another look
A sorpresa vengono fuori come un terno secco
Surprisingly they come out like a dry terno
Bollori che tengo dentro come un termos, ecco
Boils that I keep inside like a thermos, that's it
Si tratta ancora di me ma non è lo stesso
It's still about me but it's not the same
Di riposo non ce n'è, qua non è l'ostello
There is no rest, there is no hostel here
Faccio un ulteriore passo, non dello Stelvio
I take a further step, not the Stelvio
Via da questo umore basso, livello sterco
Get away from this low mood, dung level
If you call my name
If you call my name
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
If I look at my face
If I look at my face
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
Recognize it
Recognize it
Recognize it
Recognize it
And if you call my name
And if you call my name
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
If I look at my face
If I look at my face
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
I don't recognize it
