DUOMO Lyrics in English by Inoki, Stabber
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song DUOMO by Inoki from Italian to English.
Ti ho visto la prima volta
I saw you for the first time
Ero solo un ragazzino
I was just a kid
Quando venivo da Bolo da solo
When I came from Bolo alone
E passavo da te a fare un giro
And I'd stop by you for a visit
Ti vengo a trovare a Natale
I come to visit you at Christmas
Ogni volta che passo a Milano
Every time I pass through Milan
Grande, magnifico e gotico
Grand, magnificent, and gothic
Pezzo di marmo, ti guardo e mi porti lontano
Piece of marble, I look at you and you take me far away
Ho preso la rossa da Pero
I took the red line from Pero
Alle otto per farti un saluto
At eight to say hello to you
Prima di mettere il beat nelle cuffie
Before putting the beat in my headphones
E sputare le rime giù in studio
And spitting rhymes down in the studio
Ho visto un barbone seduto per terra, mi ha chiesto moneta
I saw a homeless man sitting on the ground, he asked me for money
Ho visto un piccione che mangia le briciole a un ricco di un altro pianeta
I saw a pigeon eating crumbs from a rich person from another planet
Accendo una siga, un check della situa
I light a cigarette, a check of the situation
C'è un clown che si cambia i vestiti e va in scena
There's a clown changing clothes and going on stage
E un borghese che asciuga una tipa
And a bourgeois drying off a girl
Foto bracciale (foto bracciale)
Bracelet photo (bracelet photo)
Rosa o pugnale (rosa e pugnale)
Rose or dagger (rose and dagger)
Truffe con giacche e cravatte, modelle rifatte per il carnevale
Scams with suits and ties, plastic surgery models for carnival
Sono in Duomo
I'm in Duomo

Ricordo quel giorno in cui ho fatto il fioretto
I remember that day I made a vow
Sulle tue scale in ginocchio, prometto
On your stairs on my knees, I promise
Con la polvere smetto
I'll quit with the drugs
Ero finito schiacciato
I ended up crushed
Seduto per terra, ero completamente sconnesso
Sitting on the ground, I was completely disconnected
Ma ecco che subito sento da dietro qualcuno, vedo un riflesso
But suddenly I hear someone from behind, I see a reflection
Facciamo un selfie
Let's take a selfie

fioretto — vow / small sacrifice
Fioretto is a fascinating Italian word that refers to a small vow or a minor sacrifice made for a specific purpose, often with a spiritual or personal growth intention.
In the song, Inoki raps, "Ricordo quel giorno in cui ho fatto il fioretto / Sulle tue scale in ginocchio, prometto / Con la polvere smetto." He's making a solemn promise, a personal vow, to quit drugs while kneeling on the steps of the Duomo. This word beautifully captures a moment of deep personal commitment and transformation, making it both unique and emotionally resonant within the lyrics.
