SCOSTUMATO Lyrics in English by Mace, J Lord, Fritz Da Cat
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song SCOSTUMATO by Mace from Italian to English.
M'appiccecavo cchiù ch''e bulle e difendevo 'e debbule
I used to fight more than the bullies and defended the weak
Saccio chi scaturisce 'o male adinto è sulo l'inferno
I know what causes evil inside is only hell
A scola scustumato, nun me piaceva niente
Naughty at school, I didn't like anything
'Int''o tragitto p''a casa me cantavo 'e piezze
On the way home I used to sing the songs
Tu ca me conservave 'o piatto 'int''o fornello
You who kept my plate warm in the oven
So' crisciuto cchiù ch''e nonne 'int'a l'adolescenza
I grew up more with my grandparents in adolescence
Papà teneva 'o vizio 'e bere, nun me piaceva
Dad had a drinking problem, I didn't like it
Turnava sempe sbronzo 'a sera, mamma chiagneva
He always came home drunk in the evening, Mom cried
Je ca tappavo 'e rrecchie a sorema ca nun capeva
I who covered my sister's ears because she didn't understand
Essa steva 'nzieme a te sulo p''o bene nuostro, ma nun vuleva
She was with you only for our good, but she didn't want to
Quanta vote c'aggio ditto: 'Tu l'he lascià a chisto'?
How many times I told her: "You have to leave him"?
Solo 'e nuvole assieme fanno jurnate finte
Only the clouds together make fake days
'E sere nun durmevo pecché t'usava a sex
In the evenings I didn't sleep because he used you for sex
'O juorno adoppo, bella coppia, questione 'e mumente
The day after, beautiful couple, a matter of moments
M'appiccecavo cchiù ch''e bulle e difendevo 'e debbule
I used to fight more than the bullies and defended the weak
Saccio chi scaturisce 'o male adinto e su l'inferno
I know what causes evil inside is only hell
Aggio cagnato l'odio pe' 'st'ammore pe' 'stu game
I changed the hatred for this love for this game
Si nun tenesse niente 'a perdere, rischiasse cu'tté
If I had nothing to lose, I'd risk it with you
T'arricuorde quando c'ammo spaccato 'o naso a chillo?
Do you remember when we broke that guy's nose?
'E vestite c''o blood, 'e Nike rovinate
The clothes with blood, the ruined Nikes
Facevamo a gara a chi sfunnava cchiù 'e mazziate
We used to compete to see who gave more beatings
Giravamo cu na mulletta pe' dint''o bursello
We used to walk around with a blade in our pocket
C'allenavamo ch''e maiale comm''e siberiane
We trained with the pigs like Siberians
'O nonno areto c'alluccava quando sbagliavamo
Our grandpa used to shout at us when we made mistakes
Nun me fido 'e l'essere umano, è meglio nu cane
I don't trust humans, a dog is better
Saccio bbuono, nun me tradisce, 'int''o bene e 'int''o male
I know well, it doesn't betray me, in good times and bad
Episodie se fanno vive e me fanno penzà 'o passato
Memories come back and make me think of the past
Ogni passo che faccio annanze, tutt''e passe areto vanno cancellate
Every step I take forward, all the past steps are erased

Did you like this lyrics translation?
scustumato — ill-mannered / rude
Scustumato is a Neapolitan dialect word meaning 'ill-mannered' or 'rude'. It's a vivid and somewhat informal term that stands out because it's not standard Italian, making it interesting for learners.
In the song, the artist uses it to describe himself as a child: "A scola scustumato, nun me piaceva niente" (At school, ill-mannered, I didn't like anything). This word immediately paints a picture of a rebellious youth, setting the tone for the song's narrative about growing up in a challenging environment.
