Fratellì Lyrics in English by Carl Brave
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fratellì by Carl Brave from Italian to English.
Ehi, ehi
Hey, hey
Ma che stai a dì
What are you saying?
Ho fatto er botto con NCC
I made a killing with NCC
Ipnotizzato da un Arbre Magic
Hypnotized by an Arbre Magic
Scende un terrone che dice: 'Marì'
A southerner gets out and says: "Marì"
Caccia i soldi ma non fare il CID, ehi
Hand over the money but don't make a CID, hey
Che dici a Milano? A Roma okay, ehi
What do you say in Milan? In Rome, okay, hey
Ieri ho fatto le 6
Yesterday I stayed up until 6
Stavo a Verona con tutti i butei, ehi
I was in Verona with all the guys, hey
Zì' ti vedo sciupato
Bro, I see you're worn out
Vacci piano, non è parmigiano (ah, no?)
Go easy, it's not Parmesan (ah, no?)
Dici: 'smetto domani'
You say: "I'll quit tomorrow"
Dai, frate', te se allunga il naso
Come on, bro, your nose gets longer
E c'ho fame, mangiamo su Just Eat
And I'm hungry, let's eat on Just Eat
Ed il sushi c'ha rapinato
And the sushi robbed us
Hai levato la quattro P dai tuoi pasti
You removed the four P's from your meals
E non vale se ci bevi il Mediterraneo
And it doesn't count if you drink the Mediterranean with it
Esco di casa con lei, mi sorride, è felice tutto il vicinato
I leave the house with her, she smiles at me, the whole neighborhood is happy
Se bevo metà desperados mi sale la pezza da alcolizzato
If I drink half a Desperados, I get an alcoholic's craving
Mi chiama ''mbare' da un'ora
He's been calling me "mate" for an hour
Un mezzo terrone che studia a Milano, ehi
A half-southerner who studies in Milan, hey
Ed è il solo contatto che abbiamo
And he's the only contact we have
A fratellì
Hey little brother
Smettila, smettila con quella roba lì
Stop it, stop it with that stuff
Daje fratellino, smettila, smettila e daje, non fa' così
Come on little brother, stop it, stop it and come on, don't do that
A fratellì
Hey little brother
Smettila, smettila, va', con quella roba lì
Stop it, stop it, go on, with that stuff
Daje fratellino, smettila, smettila e daje, non fa' così
Come on little brother, stop it, stop it and come on, don't do that
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Con quella roba lì
With that stuff
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Smettila fratellì
Stop it little brother
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Con quella roba lì
With that stuff
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Smettila fratellì
Stop it little brother
Ne do una, poi due, poi tre
I give one, then two, then three
Smettere no, non è mai facile
Quitting, no, it's never easy
Me ne vado in bagno, te ne lascio una
I'm going to the bathroom, I'll leave you one
Ma se non mi segui la tengo per me
But if you don't follow me, I'll keep it for myself
Ho lo spaccino che manda i messaggi alle 5
I have the dealer who sends messages at 5
Che ha cinque posti ma da 0.3
Who has five spots but from 0.3
Non la divido nemmeno con lei
I don't even share it with her
Figurati un pezzo mo che siamo in sei
Imagine a piece now that there are six of us
In mezzo a un parcheggio vicino al Raccordo
In the middle of a parking lot near the Raccordo
Dice che l'ha presa a Palocco
He says he got it in Palocco
Quella che appena la dai ti fa andare di corpo
The one that as soon as you take it makes you go to the bathroom
Pronto pe' pronto soccorso
Ready for the emergency room
Ci vai sotto, campione, devi fa' attenzione (a giudicone)
You'll get hooked, champ, you have to be careful (oh, big judge)
Ma che giudicone, non fare il fregnone
But what big judge, don't be a fool
Ché non sei il Califfo nemmeno un punk rocker
Because you're not the Caliph nor a punk rocker
Lei diventa una vacca, 'sta casa è un porcile
She becomes a c*w, this house is a pigsty
Io non voglio pensarci che sta per finire
I don't want to think that it's about to end
Se riuscirò a farlo non riesco a venire
If I manage to do it, I can't come
Se vado a dormire non riesco a dormire
If I go to sleep, I can't sleep
Ce magni e ce dormi
You eat and sleep there
Ma che stai a di'?
What are you saying?
Manco in Brasile, figurati qui, figurati zì'
Not even in Brazil, imagine here, imagine bro
Ehi (ehi) come dico?
Hey (hey) how do I say?
Con la caramella come un poliziotto
With the candy like a policeman
Con la dipendenza che si tiene quello che trova
With the addiction that keeps what it finds
E ti accolla un po' meno di quello che pensa tu dovresti avere
And it burdens you with a bit less than what it thinks you should have
Fa una chiamata, sì, poi ti fa bere
It makes a call, yes, then it makes you drink
Dai fratellino, che i soldi finiscono in breve
Come on little brother, because the money runs out quickly
Buffi, ti inseguono e non ti fa bene
Debts, they chase you and it doesn't do you good
A fratellì
Hey little brother
Smettila, smettila con quella roba lì
Stop it, stop it with that stuff
Daje fratellino, smettila, smettila e daje, non fa' così
Come on little brother, stop it, stop it and come on, don't do that
A fratellì
Hey little brother
Smettila, smettila, va', con quella roba lì
Stop it, stop it, go on, with that stuff
Daje fratellino, smettila, smettila e daje, non fa' così
Come on little brother, stop it, stop it and come on, don't do that
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Con quella roba lì
With that stuff
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Smettila fratellì
Stop it little brother
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Con quella roba lì
With that stuff
Smettila, smettila, smettila
Stop it, stop it, stop it
Smettila fratellì
Stop it little brother

Did you like this lyrics translation?
fratellì — little brother
Fratellì is a Roman dialect diminutive of "fratello" (brother), meaning "little brother" or a very close friend.
It's an endearing and informal term that perfectly captures the song's intimate and cautionary tone, as the singer advises his "little brother" to stop engaging in harmful activities. Its regional flavor makes it unique and memorable.
