20 Lyrics in English by Capo Plaza
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 20 by Capo Plaza from Italian to English.
Prima ero solo un bambino ora ne ho venti
Before I was just a child, now I'm twenty
Tu qua sotto la notte non ti addormenti
You down here at night don't fall asleep
Questi parlano, parlano e stanno fermi
These guys talk, talk and stay still
Voglio fare in un mese venti stipendi
I want to make twenty salaries in a month
Ora ne ho venti, ora ne ho venti
Now I'm twenty, now I'm twenty
Ora ne ho venti, correndo tu non mi prendi
Now I'm twenty, running you can't catch me
Ne ho fatti venti, ora ne ho venti
I've made twenty, now I'm twenty
E voglio solo fumare coi miei fratelli, ok
And I just want to smoke with my brothers, ok
Ne ho fatti venti, zero rimpianti
I've made twenty, zero regrets
Ne fumo venti, devo calmarmi
I smoke twenty, I need to calm down
Ora ne ho venti, ora ne ho venti
Now I'm twenty, now I'm twenty
Ora ne ho venti, ora mi senti
Now I'm twenty, now you hear me
Ora ne ho venti, oh cazzo
Now I'm twenty, oh f*ck
Qua sotto uscito pazzo
Down here I've gone crazy
Io sto fumando il mondo
I'm smoking the world
Se non sto qua, lo ammazzo
If I'm not here, I'll kill it
Io sono sempre lo stesso
I'm always the same
Tu mo mi credi un altro
You now think I'm someone else
Ho tutti quanti dietro adesso ma io me ne sbatto
I have everyone behind me now but I don't give a sh*t
Scendo con le scarpe bianche
I come down with white shoes
Passa quella volante
That patrol car passes
Quaggiù ho buttato il sangue da zero a cento un istante
Down here I've shed blood, from zero to a hundred in an instant
Dentro il bicchiere rosa, AVA mi sembra Mozart
Inside the pink glass, AVA seems like Mozart to me
C'è la tua tipa che mi guarda e io le do qualcosa
Your girl is looking at me and I give her something
Tu qua non passi, fai il giro a lungo
You don't pass here, take the long way around
Ricordo bene sti palazzi, Salerno è tutto
I remember these buildings well, Salerno is everything
È meglio che fate i pagliacci, tu col tuo gruppo
It's better that you act like clowns, you with your group
Ne ho fatti venti e io a vent'anni, già ti ho distrutto, yeh
I've made twenty and I at twenty years old, I've already destroyed you, yeh
Prima ero solo un bambino ora ne ho venti
Before I was just a child, now I'm twenty
Tu qua sotto la notte non ti addormenti
You down here at night don't fall asleep
Questi parlano, parlano e stanno fermi
These guys talk, talk and stay still
Voglio fare in un mese venti stipendi
I want to make twenty salaries in a month
Ora ne ho venti, ora ne ho venti
Now I'm twenty, now I'm twenty
Ora ne ho venti, correndo tu non mi prendi
Now I'm twenty, running you can't catch me
Ne ho fatti venti, ora ne ho venti
I've made twenty, now I'm twenty
E voglio solo fumare coi miei fratelli, ok
And I just want to smoke with my brothers, ok
Ne ho fatti venti, zero rimpianti
I've made twenty, zero regrets
Ne fumo venti, devo calmarmi
I smoke twenty, I need to calm down
Ora ne ho venti, ora ne ho venti
Now I'm twenty, now I'm twenty
Ora ne ho venti, ora mi senti
Now I'm twenty, now you hear me
E c'ho vent'anni e più problemi di prima
And I'm twenty years old and more problems than before
Io ne ho visti tanti cadere dalla cima
I've seen many fall from the top
A te non la passo, meglio accendi una siga
I don't pass it to you, better you light a cigarette
Fanculo la troia che no, non mi capiva
F*ck the b*tch who no, didn't understand me
Fanculo voglio oro e diamanti, carati alti
F*ck it, I want gold and diamonds, high carats
Ora è il momento fatti avanti, non so allenarmi
Now is the moment step forward, I don't know how to train
Tra diavoli si è pure santi, non perdonarmi
Among devils one is also a saint, don't forgive me
Imparo solo dagli sbagli, ma so rialzarmi
I only learn from mistakes, but I know how to get back up
Sono cresciuto tra gli infami, serpi a sonagli
I grew up among traitors, rattlesnakes
Ora che hai soldi tu mi chiami, siete dei falsi
Now that you have money you call me, you are fakes
Porto i miei amici sulle spalle, i tuoi sulle palle
I carry my friends on my shoulders, yours on my b*lls
Tu parli ma concludi niente, sei imbarazzante
You talk but conclude nothing, you're embarrassing
Voglio Balmain e Gucci, ho dei bei gusti
I want Balmain and Gucci, I have good taste
Tu siediti e poi prendi appunti, meglio ti butti
You sit down and then take notes, better you give up
Per anni abbiamo seminato e poi raccolto i frutti
For years we sowed and then reaped the fruits
In ogni posto quando entriamo poi saltano tutti, yeh
Everywhere when we enter then everyone jumps, yeh
Prima ero un bambino ora ne ho venti, eh
Before I was a child, now I'm twenty, eh
Tocca stare svegli e sempre attenti, eh
We have to stay awake and always attentive, eh
Io come finisce già lo so, eh
How it ends I already know, eh
Io come finisce già lo so, eh
How it ends I already know, eh
Prima ero un bambino ora ne ho venti, eh
Before I was a child, now I'm twenty, eh
Tocca stare svegli e sempre attenti, eh
We have to stay awake and always attentive, eh
Io come finisce già lo so
How it ends I already know
Io come finisce già lo so
How it ends I already know
Did you like this lyrics translation?
pagliacci — clowns
Pagliacci literally translates to "clowns". It's a colorful and somewhat old-fashioned word that stands out in modern rap lyrics.
In the song, Capo Plaza uses it to dismiss his rivals, saying "È meglio che fate i pagliacci" (It's better that you act like clowns). He's essentially telling them to stop pretending to be tough and just be the jokes they are, highlighting his own confidence and dominance.
