HERMES Lyrics in English Geolier
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song HERMES by Geolier from Italian to English.
M'arricordo 'e cose ca da cosa nasce n'ata
I remember how one thing sparks another
Dimme che divide na pistola 'a nu reato
Tell me what splits a gun from a crime
Sta chi nn'se divide, condivide nu reato
Some don't split, they share the crime
Quindi nun surrido dint'e foto 'e classe maje
So I never smile in class pics
Dimme chello che nn'dicisse a na cumpagna toja
Tell me what you wouldn't say to a friend of yours
E m'he ditto ca nn'te fide d''e cumpagne toje
And you told me you don't trust your friends
E po he domandato tu a me d''e cumpagne mi'
Then you asked me about mine
E t'aggio ditto ca nun so' comm''e cumpagne toje
I told you they're not like yours
I' nun stongo triste, è 'o tiempo ca è griggio comm''e palazze
I'm not sad, the sky's just gray like the buildings
Comm'e 'stu G ca nun guido, ma voglio pecché 'a peccerillo 'o tenevo cinquanta
Like this G-Wagon I don't drive yet but want, 'cause as a kid I only had a 50cc
Saje ca so' cagnate 'e cose da quando sentevo friddo 'ncopp'o mezzo cinquanta
You know things changed since I froze on that fifty
E m'abbastava, era poco, ma pe'mmé già era assaje
It was enough, it was little, but to me it was plenty
Penzo si me pienze maje
I wonder if you ever think of me
Staje chiedenno aiuto, scusa, nun so' in grado
You're asking for help, sorry, I'm not able
Chi nn'tene cura 'e sé, saje, nn'tene cura 'e ll'ate
If you don't care for yourself, you can't care for others
Quando fore chiove, nuje nun ce 'nfunnimo
When it rains outside, we don't hide
I' e te duje killer ca aspettano ll'arme
You and me, two killers waiting on guns
E mo stongo ca che faje, viene?
I'm here now, what you doing, coming?
Me domande, 'Tu nun chiagne maje?'
You ask, "Don't you ever cry?"
E na gabbia 'a giacca Hermès
And the Hermès jacket feels like a cage
Senza te sentisse meglio
I'd feel better without you
Senza 'e me nun stisse sempe male
Without me you wouldn't always hurt
Mo stongo ccà
Now I'm still here
Uno comm'e me nun dice quando chiagne e nemmeno quando sbaglia
A guy like me won't say when he cries or even when he screws up
Uno ca nn'te dice quanto tene 'ncopp'a banca, ma dice sì si vuò 'a carta
He won't tell you what's in the bank, but he'll hand you the card if you want it
Tu ca te piglie e nu' chiede, i' ca te dongo e nun segno
You take without asking, I give without keeping score
Sott'a nu fermo tenevo nu fierro, dicette, 'Mantiene'
During a stop I had a piece, he said, "Keep it"
'Nun controllano a te ca si na femmena'
"They won't search you, you're a woman"
Na vota che pruato 'o pericolo e si asciuto vivo, te siente invincibbile
Once you've felt danger and walked out alive, you feel invincible
'O giubbino antiproiettile attutisce 'e colpe, ma te rimane 'o livido
The bulletproof vest dulls the hits, but the bruise stays
Tengo a mente tutt''e ccose triste, mica 'e ccose belle, chelli là me fortifica
I store the sad stuff in my head, not the good, that toughens me
Sto guidanno 'a car, 'a porto a limite
I'm driving the car, pushing it to the limit
Voglio 'o male finché nun m'abbituo
I want the pain till I get used to it
Staje chiedenno aiuto, scusa, nun so' in grado
You're asking for help, sorry, I'm not able
Chi nn'tene cura 'e sé, saje, nn'tene cura 'e ll'ate
If you don't care for yourself, you can't care for others
Quando fore chiove, nuje nun ce 'nfunnimo
When it rains outside, we don't hide
I' e te duje killer ca aspettano ll'arme
You and me, two killers waiting on guns
E mo stongo ca che faje, viene?
I'm here now, what you doing, coming?
Me domande, 'Tu nun chiagne maje?'
You ask, "Don't you ever cry?"
E na gabbia 'a giacca Hermès
And the Hermès jacket feels like a cage
Senza te sentisse meglio
I'd feel better without you
Senza 'e me nun stisse sempe male
Without me you wouldn't always hurt
Mo stongo ccà
Now I'm still here
