Il Sale Della Terra Lyrics in English by Ligabue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Sale Della Terra by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Siamo la sorpresa dietro i vetri scuri (yeah, yeah)
We're the surprise behind the dark windows (yeah, yeah)
Siamo la risata dentro il tunnel degli orrori
We're the laughter inside the tunnel of horrors
Siamo la promessa che non costa niente (yeah, yeah)
We're the promise that costs nothing (yeah, yeah)
Siamo la chiarezza che voleva molta gente
We're the clarity that many people wanted
Siamo il capitano che vi fa l'inchino
We're the captain who bows to you
Siamo la ragazza nel bel mezzo dell'inchino
We're the girl in the middle of the bow
Siamo i trucchi nuovi per i maghi vecchi
We're the new tricks for the old magicians
Siamo le ragazze nella sala degli specchi
We're the girls in the hall of mirrors
Siamo il culo sulla sedia, il dramma, la commedia
We're the a** on the chair, the drama, the comedy
Il facile rimedio
The easy remedy
Siamo l'arroganza che non ha paura
We're the arrogance that isn't afraid
Siamo quelli a cui non devi chiedere fattura
We're those you don't have to ask for an invoice
Siamo yeah yeah il sale della terra
We're yeah yeah the salt of the earth
Siamo yeah yeah il sale della terra
We're yeah yeah the salt of the earth
Siamo l'opinione sotto libro paga
We're the opinion on the payroll
Siamo le riunioni qui nel retro di bottega
We're the meetings here in the back of the shop
Siamo le figure dietro le figure
We're the figures behind the figures
Siamo la vergogna che fingiamo di provare
We're the shame we pretend to feel
Siamo il culo sulla sedia, la farsa, la tragedia
We're the a** on the chair, the farce, the tragedy
Il forte sotto assedio
The fort under siege
Siamo la vittoria della tradizione
We're the victory of tradition
Siamo furbi che più furbi di così si muore
We're so cunning that any more cunning would kill you
Siamo yeah, yeah, il sale della terra
We're yeah, yeah, the salt of the earth
Siamo yeah, yeah, il sale della terra
We're yeah, yeah, the salt of the earth
Siamo la freddezza che non ha paura
We're the coldness that isn't afraid
Siamo quel tappeto steso sulla spazzatura
We're that carpet laid over the trash
Siamo la Montblanc con cui ti faccio fuori
We're the Montblanc I use to take you out
Siamo la risata dentro il tunnel degli orrori
We're the laughter inside the tunnel of horrors
Siamo yeah, yeah, il sale della terra
We're yeah, yeah, the salt of the earth
Siamo yeah, yeah, il sale della terra
We're yeah, yeah, the salt of the earth
Siamo yeah, yeah, il sale della terra
We're yeah, yeah, the salt of the earth
Siamo yeah, yeah, il sale della terra
We're yeah, yeah, the salt of the earth
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Did you like this lyrics translation?

inchino — bow / curtsy

Inchino translates to "bow" or "curtsy", referring to a gesture of respect or deference. It's a less common word in everyday Italian conversation, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the song, Ligabue uses it to paint a picture of various societal roles and behaviors, from "il capitano che vi fa l'inchino" (the captain who bows to you) to "la ragazza nel bel mezzo dell'inchino" (the girl in the middle of the bow). This word adds a touch of formality and theatricality, inviting learners to explore its nuanced meaning within the song's social commentary.
