Guarda i miei piedi che ballano lo swing
Watch my feet dancing the swing
Al centro del ring
In the center of the ring
Al centro del ring

Guarda i miei piedi che ballano lo swing
Watch my feet dancing the swing
Al centro del ring
In the center of the ring

Destro sinistro
Right left
Colpisci l'avversario
Hit the opponent
Non dargli respiro
Don't give him a break
Annientalo distruggilo
Annihilate him destroy him
Cancella il suo futuro
Erase his future
Disperdi le sue viscere
Scatter his entrails
Mangiagli il cuore
Eat his heart
Senza rancore
Without resentment
Si lotta si ama
We fight, we love
Si lotta si ama
We fight, we love
Si lotta si ama
We fight, we love
In mezzo al panorama
Amidst the view
Perché è bello così
Because it's beautiful this way
È la regola del gioco
It's the rule of the game
Un fuoco che non brucia non è un fuoco
A fire that doesn't burn isn't a fire
Destro sinistro
Right left
In piedi cavaliere
Stand up, knight
Niente di più bello di un duello in pieno sole
Nothing more beautiful than a duel in full sun
Combatti
Fight
Fatti avanti
Come forward
Combatti
Fight
Fatti avanti
Come forward
Battiti di ali di farfalla
Flutters of butterfly wings
Che diventano tempesta
That become a storm
Diventano uragano
Become a hurricane
Qui sulla mia mano
Here on my hand
Qui sulla mia mano
Here on my hand
Qui sulla mia mano
Here on my hand
Qui sulla mia mano
Here on my hand
Guarda i miei piedi che ballano lo swing
Watch my feet dancing the swing
Al centro del ring
In the center of the ring

Guarda i miei piedi che ballano lo swing
Watch my feet dancing the swing
Al centro del ring
In the center of the ring
Al centro del ring
In the center of the ring
Rivali com'è giusto
Rivals as is right
Com'è vero com'è sano
As it's true, as it's healthy
Come i muscoli del corpo umano
Like the muscles of the human body
Antagonisti
Antagonists
Fedeli al movimento
Faithful to the movement
Sotto allo stesso firmamento
Under the same firmament
Un uomo è sempre qualche cosa in più di uomo
A man is always something more than a man
Un uomo è sempre qualche cosa in meno di un uomo
A man is always something less than a man
Un uomo è sempre qualche cosa in più di uomo
A man is always something more than a man
Un uomo è sempre qualche cosa in meno di un uomo
A man is always something less than a man
Non è mai troppo tardi per farsi un'infanzia felice
It's never too late to have a happy childhood
Avremo tutta l'eternità per stare in pace
We'll have all eternity to be in peace
Rivale amico, compagno infedele
Rival friend, unfaithful companion
Niente mezze mele
No half measures
Niente mezze mele
No half measures
Combatti

Did you like this lyrics translation?
firmamento — firmament / sky
Firmamento translates to "firmament" or "sky". It's a more poetic and grand term for the sky, evoking a sense of vastness and destiny.
In the song, Jovanotti uses it to describe rivals fighting "sotto allo stesso firmamento" (under the same firmament). This elevates the idea of competition, suggesting that even adversaries are connected by a shared, overarching destiny or universal truth, making their struggle part of a larger cosmic dance.
