MANI Lyrics in English by Inoki, BIGMAMA
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song MANI by Inoki from Italian to English.
Vengo da giù
I come from below
Coi sogni giusti
With the right dreams
Non svegliarmi più
Don't wake me up anymore
E sogno mani, mani, mani, eh
And I dream of hands, hands, hands, eh
E vengo da giù
And I come from below
Coi sogni giusti
With the right dreams
Non svegliarmi più
Don't wake me up anymore
E sogno mani, mani, mani, mani, mani
And I dream of hands, hands, hands, hands, hands
Ho i tagli nelle mani
I have cuts on my hands
La fronte che mi suda
My forehead is sweating
Il fiato corto
Short of breath
Risorto da una notte lunga
Resurrected from a long night
Ho ancora broda brother
I still have fuel, brother
Ancora pieno e premo
Still full and I push
Ancora fuoco ancora ossigeno
Still fire, still oxygen
E carbone nero
And black coal
Ho ancora fame e cerco
I'm still hungry and I try
Di far quadrare il cerchio
To square the circle
Di mettere ogni pezzo apposto
To put every piece in place
Pago il costo certo
I certainly pay the cost
Tra le mie mani stringo
In my hands I hold tight
Quel sogno che da bimbo
That dream that since I was a child
Mi ha reso peso
Made me important
E trasformato in cazzo di vichingo
And transformed me into a f*cking Viking
E voglio money si ma
And I want money, yes, but
Basta si sopravviva
It's enough to survive
L'avanzo tieni lo regalo
The leftover, keep it, I'll give it away
Non ho scorte in stiva
I don't have reserves in the hold
La vita è un soffio e vola
Life is a breath and it flies
Ti sfugge dalle mani
It slips from your hands
Guardo il presente
I look at the present
La mia mente pensa già a un domani
My mind already thinks of tomorrow
Sorella su la testa
Sister, head up
A casa mia nessuno
In my house nobody
Ti chiama troia
Calls you a wh*re
Guardo gli occhi
I look at the eyes
Non ti guardo il culo (what the fuck?)
I don't look at your a** (what the f*ck?)
Adesso qua la mano
Now, give me your hand
E combattiamo uniti
And let's fight united
Non lasciamo più che ci divida
Let's not let it divide us anymore
Questa crisi
This crisis
Vengo da giù
I come from below
Coi sogni giusti
With the right dreams
Non svegliarmi più
Don't wake me up anymore
E sogno mani, mani, mani
And I dream of hands, hands, hands
E vengo da giù
And I come from below
Coi sogni giusti
With the right dreams
Non svegliarmi più
Don't wake me up anymore
E sogno mani, mani, mani, mani, mani
And I dream of hands, hands, hands, hands, hands
Mani, mani
Hands, hands
Rimani a terra con i piedi
Stay on the ground with your feet
Qua voli e cadi perché mani ti hanno spinto
Here you fly and fall because hands pushed you
Vedi
See
Oh mami mami
Oh mami mami
Rimbocca le maniche baby
Roll up your sleeves, baby
E manipola questi infami tipo Sugar Daddy
And manipulate these b*stards like a Sugar Daddy
Sono daddy, okay
I'm daddy, okay
Non sai un cazzo, just saying
You don't know sh*t, just saying
Mama sei la new wave, yeh
Mama you're the new wave, yeh
Ho messo il cuore nelle cose
I put my heart into things
Che ora c'ho problemi cardio
That now I have heart problems
Spero nelle rose
I hope for roses
Mamma ha detto 'fioriranno'
Mom said "they will bloom"
E non vivo, se non scrivo
And I don't live, if I don't write
Sono spine ciò che chiedo
What I ask for are thorns
E non sai il male che fa
And you don't know how much it hurts
Voglio tornare indietro
I want to go back
E dare un condom a papà
And give a condom to dad
E non vivo se non scrivo
And I don't live if I don't write
E spiegami cosa faccio
And explain to me what I do
Se tutto ciò che ho attorno poi
If everything I have around me then
Mi sta sul cazzo
Pisses me off
Se le persone a cui ho dato importanza
If the people I gave importance to
Ora non mi piacciono
Now I don't like them
C'ho sbatti da anni
I've had struggles for years
Vita puttana a tratti
B*tch life at times
Dite a sta Troia di fermarsi
Tell this wh*re to stop
Perché c'ho solo vent'anni (basta)
Because I'm only twenty (enough)
Quanto mi sta sul culo quel 'tanto sei forte'
How much that "you're so strong" pisses me off
Nah, non voglio vivere giovane
Nah, I don't want to live young
Se penso alla mia morte
If I think about my death
Vengo da giù
I come from below
Coi sogni giusti
With the right dreams
Non svegliarmi più
Don't wake me up anymore
E sogno mani, mani, mani
And I dream of hands, hands, hands
E vengo da giù
And I come from below
Coi sogni giusti
With the right dreams
Non svegliarmi più
Don't wake me up anymore
E sogno mani, mani, mani, mani, mani, eh
And I dream of hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, eh
Crookers on the beat
Crookers on the beat

vichingo — viking
Vichingo translates directly to "viking". It's an unexpected and striking word to find in a contemporary Italian rap song, making it instantly memorable.
Inoki uses it to describe his transformation from a child's dream into a "cazzo di vichingo" (a fucking viking), implying a journey of becoming strong, resilient, and perhaps even a bit fierce in facing life's challenges. This unique metaphor adds a powerful and intriguing layer to the lyrics.
