Flashback Lyrics in English by Ghali
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Flashback by Ghali from Italian to English.
Yah, yeah, yeah
Yah, yeah, yeah
Possiamo stare best friends ma ho due richieste
We can be best friends but I have two requests
Proteggi queste bestie in corsa campestre
Protect these beasts in cross-country
Commissario taglia teste con il Winchester
Commissioner cuts heads with the Winchester
Non fare il guastafeste c'ho brutti flashback
Don't be a party pooper, I have bad flashbacks
Mio padre non c'è se n'è andato via
My father isn't here, he left
Ha pensato a se non è colpa mia
He thought of himself, it's not my fault
Mia madre è con me nella guerrilla
My mother is with me in the guerrilla
Mai visto un re in periferia
Never seen a king in the suburbs
Alza i pantaloni abbassa quei toni
Pull up your pants, lower those tones
Giuro, non mi trovi in certe situazioni
I swear, you won't find me in certain situations
Intervistatori mi chiedon, 'Ius soli?'
Interviewers ask me, "Birthright citizenship?"
Credo soltanto che siamo più soli
I only believe that we are more alone
Non so parlare so solo canzoni
I don't know how to speak, I only know songs
Svito bulloni giro spaghettoni
I unscrew bolts, I roll big spaghetti
Non presto attenzioni che non mi ridanno
I don't pay attention that isn't returned to me
A mio papà l'ho visto più dentro che fuori
I saw my dad more inside than outside
Non ho mai la mia età, no mai
I'm never my age, no never
Non c'è più gravità ormai
There's no more gravity anymore
Tra noi e l'al di là, un viavai
Between us and the afterlife, a coming and going
Sei solo un piano A lo-fi
You're just a lo-fi Plan A
Possiamo stare best friends ma ho due richieste
We can be best friends but I have two requests
Proteggi queste bestie in corsa campestre
Protect these beasts in cross-country
Commissario taglia teste con il Winchester
Commissioner cuts heads with the Winchester
Non fare il guastafeste c'ho brutti flashback
Don't be a party pooper, I have bad flashbacks
Da tempo non c'è quiete tra le tempeste
For a long time there's been no calm among the storms
Borbottan le vecchiette dalle finestre
The old women grumble from the windows
Il quartiere si riveste dopo le sette
The neighborhood dresses up after seven
Tra pattuglie e gangster c'ho brutti flashback
Between patrols and gangsters, I have bad flashbacks
Ehi, pensavo di averlo d'acciaio
Hey, I thought I had it made of steel
Sto cuore nei messaggi che ho mandato per sbaglio
This heart in the messages I sent by mistake
Fisso le lancette che girano al contrario
I stare at the hands that turn backward
Tu guardami gli occhi se vuoi leggermi il diario
You look into my eyes if you want to read my diary
È inutile che aspetto qua non c'è un premio in palio
It's useless for me to wait here, there's no prize at stake
Anche se sto sul podio ho preso un filo di nylon
Even if I'm on the podium, I got a nylon thread
Un gangster teen idol, 'sta morte la odio, 'sta vita la amo
A gangster teen idol, I hate this death, I love this life
Seppure la taglio
Even if I cut it
Mi scuso se sbaglio
I apologize if I make a mistake
In zona vendevo al dettaglio
In the area, I sold retail
Se zoomi ora vedi il dettaglio
If you zoom in now, you see the detail
Whoa sti fluss cosa fanno?
Whoa, what are these flows doing?
Infami si nasconderanno
Snitches will hide
E gli alberi me lo diranno
And the trees will tell me
Non ho mai la mia età, no mai
I'm never my age, no never
Non c'è più gravità ormai
There's no more gravity anymore
Tra noi e l'al di là, un viavai
Between us and the afterlife, a coming and going
Sei solo un piano A lo-fi
You're just a lo-fi Plan A
Possiamo stare best friends ma ho due richieste
We can be best friends but I have two requests
Proteggi queste bestie in corsa campestre
Protect these beasts in cross-country
Commissario taglia teste con il Winchester
Commissioner cuts heads with the Winchester
Non fare il guastafeste c'ho brutti flashback
Don't be a party pooper, I have bad flashbacks
Da tempo non c'è quiete tra le tempeste
For a long time there's been no calm among the storms
Borbottan le vecchiette dalle finestre
The old women grumble from the windows
Il quartiere si riveste dopo le sette
The neighborhood dresses up after seven
Tra pattuglie e gangster c'ho brutti flashback
Between patrols and gangsters, I have bad flashbacks

Did you like this lyrics translation?
guastafeste — party pooper / spoilsport
Guastafeste literally translates to "spoilsport" or "party pooper." It's a fun and descriptive compound word that isn't heard in every Italian song.
In the context of Ghali's song, he uses it to warn someone not to ruin his mood or bring negativity, especially when he's already dealing with "brutti flashback" (bad flashbacks). It adds a touch of colloquial charm to his otherwise serious reflections.
