Capotavolo Lyrics in English Don Pero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Capotavolo by Don Pero from Italian to English.
Vorrei che tutto fosse più semplice
I wish everything was simpler
In famiglia, tra amici e le perdite
In family, among friends and losses
Porto in alto S.R., per niente se
I bring up S.R., not at all if
Anche chi c'era prima con me vede solo le vendite
Even those who were with me before only see the sales
Steccale, smazzale, vendile
Pick them up, fan them, sell them
Ho cambiato i pezzi per altri
I changed the pieces for others
Da quando ho capito che non c'era tempo da perdere
Since I realized there was no time to waste
Prima che ci venissero a prendere
Before they came to get us
Sbirri sul Transalp mi danno la caccia
Cops on the Transalp are hunting me
Mentre sono a letto con una puttana
While I'm in bed with a whore
Dentro ad una popolare abusiva
Inside a popular squat
Per la dose 'sta lurda viene abusata
For the dose this filth is abused
Un bravo ragazzo fa i viaggi, va a Napoli
A good boy travels, goes to Naples
Senza patente, prende i soldi falsi
Without a license, he takes the fake money
Porta sulle spalle un peso più grande
He carries a bigger weight on his shoulders
In una famiglia di pregiudicati
In a family of criminals
Un cognome da me (un cognome da me)
A last name from me (a last name from me)
O ti uccide o protegge (o ti uccide o protegge)
Either it kills you or it protects (it either kills you or it protects)
Sul 3310 (sul 3310)
On the 3310 (on the 3310)
Squillava il call center (squillava il call center), ah
The call center was ringing (the call center was ringing), ah
Ci ho messo la faccia, le palle e la pelle
I put my face, balls and skin into it
Ascolto trattative con un calabrese
I listen to negotiations with a Calabrian
Levano sicure, più entrate sicure
Safe leverage, more safe entries
O la prendi in zona o paghi la tangente
Either you get it locally or you pay the bribe
Ad ogni tavola il suo capotavolo
Each table has its own head of the table
Per ogni azione qua sotto c'è il denaro
For every action there is money down here
Cinque di mattina, allerta se indagano
Five in the morning, be alert if they investigate
Donne mettono la merce nello scarico
Women put the goods in the dump
Più fame di chiunque, ueh, ueh
Hunger than anyone, eh, eh
Dormivo da chiunque, ueh, ueh
I slept with anyone, uh, uh
Tra i disadattati, però mi adattavo
Among the misfits, however, I fit in
La visione è tunnel, ueh, ueh
The vision is tunnel, uh, uh
Furbo come Lupin
Smart like Lupine
Guadagni facili, entrate sicure
Easy earnings, safe income
Mercato libero, ma i soldi in nero
Free market, but black money
Fanno Barbablù, ma con le barbe lunghe
They make Bluebeards, but with long beards
Vestiti nuovi lasciano un vuoto
New clothes leave a void
Ragazzi fuori aprono il fuoco
Boys outside open fire
Il ghetto è caldo, rimani a terra
The ghetto is hot, stay on the ground
Killo 'sti rapper mo come il Vietnam
Kill these rappers like Vietnam
Ad ogni tavola il suo capotavolo
Each table has its own head of the table
Per ogni azione qua sotto c'è il denaro
For every action there is money down here
Cinque di mattina, allerta se indagano
Five in the morning, be alert if they investigate
Donne mettono la merce nello scarico
Women put the goods in the dump
