Invece No Lyrics in English by Fabri Fibra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Invece No by Fabri Fibra from Italian to English.
Dovrebbe mancarmi tutta quanta la mia famiglia e invece no
I should miss my whole family, but I don't
Mi dovrei fidare di più della nostra amicizia e invece no
I should trust our friendship more, but I don't
Che cosa faremo da grandi me lo domandi io che ne so
You ask me what we'll do when we grow up, what do I know?
Pensavo 'sta roba col tempo mi avrebbe stancato e invece no
I thought this stuff would have tired me out over time, but it didn't
Sognavo di fare il grafico tipo per la Benetton
I dreamed of being a graphic designer, like for Benetton
Pensavo di esserci portato e invece no
I thought I was cut out for it, but I wasn't
Sognavo di andare in palestra e farmi il fisico
I dreamed of going to the gym and getting in shape
Vivo con mille mostri nella testa tipo Visitors
I live with a thousand monsters in my head, like Visitors
Ero in tele, fratè, mi hai visto?
I was on TV, bro, did you see me?
Cameriere, un fritto misto
Waiter, a mixed fry
Questa gente odia
These people hate
Vuole farci a pezzi
They want to tear us apart
Cannibalismo
Cannibalism
Neanche ti immagini quanta fatica
You can't even imagine how much effort
Fa niente
Never mind
All'alba vincerò
At dawn I will win
Ero convinto di poterlo fare per sempre
I was convinced I could do it forever
E invece no
But no
Io speravo di mancarti almeno un po'
I hoped you'd miss me at least a little
Mi aspettavo una chiamata e invece no
I expected a call, but no
I nemici quante energie mi tolgono
How much energy my enemies take from me
Tu pensavi fosse un sogno e invece no
You thought it was a dream, but it wasn't
E invece no
But no
E invece no
But no
E invece no
But no
Volevo stare in salotto a giocare con Euro e invece no
I wanted to be in the living room playing with Euro, but I wasn't
Quel cane mi manca un casino, Rakim l'ha ripreso è andato a New York
I miss that dog a lot, Rakim took him back and went to New York
Io invece rimango a Milano anche se tutti mi stressano
Instead, I'm staying in Milan even though everyone stresses me out
Pensavo che mi sarei ambientato meglio e invece no
I thought I'd settle in better, but I didn't
Ah, pensavo di rimanere al top
Ah, I thought I'd stay at the top
E invece no
But no
Pensa che ridere LOL
Imagine how funny, LOL
Pensavo di fare goal
I thought I'd score a goal
Pensavo fossi da sola
I thought you were alone
Pensa che storia
Imagine what a story
Ero convinto che ci saremmo sentiti ancora
I was convinced we'd talk again
Io pensavo di essere cieco infatti non vedevo l'ora
I thought I was blind, in fact I couldn't wait
Tu mi preoccupi
You worry me
Mi dicevano 'di che ti occupi?'
They used to ask me "what do you do?"
Questi soldi sono sempre pochi
This money is always too little
Questo mondo è pieno di ipocriti
This world is full of hypocrites
Questi rapper sono tutti innocui
These rappers are all harmless
Quasi fanno sembrare il mio genere un altro
They almost make my genre seem like something else
Ho provato a puntare più in alto
I tried to aim higher
Rischi la crocifissione
You risk crucifixion
Venerdì santo
Good Friday
Io speravo di mancarti almeno un po'
I hoped you'd miss me at least a little
Mi aspettavo una chiamata e invece no
I expected a call, but no
I nemici quante energie mi tolgono
How much energy my enemies take from me
Tu pensavi fosse un sogno e invece no
You thought it was a dream, but it wasn't
E invece no
But no
E invece no
But no
E invece no
But no

Did you like this lyrics translation?
crocifissione — crucifixion
Crocifissione literally translates to "crucifixion". It's a very strong and evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, Fabri Fibra uses it metaphorically to describe the extreme risks and harsh consequences one might face when trying to achieve great things or challenge the status quo in the music industry. He says, "Rischi la crocifissione" (You risk crucifixion), implying that aiming high can lead to severe criticism or downfall, much like a public execution.
