Petit Lyrics in English Don Pero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Petit by Don Pero from Italian to English.
Filtra la luce tra i vicoli stretti
Light filters through narrow alleys
Una pallone sotto l'auto, l'altro invece sui tetti
A ball under the car, the other up on the roofs
Malossi o Giannelli, gli unici problemi
Malossi or Giannelli, the only problems
E quei motorini non stavano mai fermi
And those mopeds never stood still
Di nascosto fuori casa fumavamo per la noia
We'd smoke outside home in secret, out of boredom
Per fare benzina uno saltava sulla pompa
To get gas someone hopped on the pump
Riverniciavamo i caschi che rubavamo a scuola
We'd repaint the helmets we stole at school
Per fare due soldi e comprare una tuta nuova
To make a little cash and buy a new tracksuit
E salivo dietro, tu invece guidavi
I'd get on the back, you were the one driving
Volevamo avere i vestiti degli altri
We wanted other people's clothes
Nulla è per sempre, solo i diamanti
Nothing's forever, only diamonds
Anche due migliori amici si sono separati
Even two best friends split up
Ora prendo il sole in quartiere
Now I soak up the sun in the hood
Dove senza niente si stava bene
Where having nothing still felt good
E ci siamo conosciuti io e te
And you and I met
Sulla sella delle biciclette
On bicycle saddles
Oui-oui, c'est la vie
oui-oui, c'est la vie
Tuta nuova Le Coq Sportif
Brand-new Le Coq Sportif tracksuit
In zona da petit
In the hood since petit
Le banlieue sembrano Bali
The banlieues look like Bali
Bebè, baby
bébé, baby
Allez-allez, andiamo via da qui
Allez-allez, let's leave here
In zona con l'equipe
In the hood with the team
Si sta bene come da petit
It feels good like when we were petit
Come da petit, come da petit
Like when we were petit, like when we were petit
Nascondino, ma dalla police
Hide-and-seek, but from the police
Chico della calle, come a Napoli
Street kid, like in Napoli
Non ci ferma, manco l'ABS
Not even ABS stops us
Non siamo fatti per stare in paese
We're not made to stay in town
Brilleremo come i VVS
We'll shine like VVS
I più ricchi nelle tasche non hanno niente
The richest have nothing in their pockets
Oggi siamo in giro come quelli che vincono
Today we're out like winners
Come al luna park se vincevo da piccolo
Like at the funfair when I won as a kid
Ho in mano una cartella, aspetto solo il bingo
I've got a card in my hand, just waiting for bingo
E chi l'avrebbe detto che sarebbe finito
And who would've thought it'd end
C'è sempre la luce dopo il buio
There's always light after dark
L'alba è più bella dalle terrazze
Dawn's prettier from the terraces
Chissà che fine ha fatto qualcuno
Wonder what became of someone
Ora che sono vuote le piazze
Now that the squares are empty
Oui-oui, c'est la vie
oui-oui, c'est la vie
Tuta nuova Le Coq Sportif
Brand-new Le Coq Sportif tracksuit
In zona da petit
In the hood since petit
Le banlieue sembrano Bali
The banlieues look like Bali
Bebè, baby
bébé, baby
Allez-allez, andiamo via da qui
Allez-allez, let's leave here
In zona con l'equipe
In the hood with the team
Si sta bene come da petit
It feels good like when we were petit
Come da petit
Like when we were petit
