L'Eremita Lyrics in English by Max Gazzè
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'Eremita by Max Gazzè from Italian to English.
Voglio che le cariche importanti
I want important positions
Dove si decide per il mondo
Where decisions are made for the world
Vengano assegnate solo a donne
Are assigned only to women
Madri di figli
Mothers of children
Sarei così curioso di vedere
I'd be so curious to see
Se all'interno delle loro decisioni
If within their decisions
Riuscirebbero a scordarsi il loro futuro
They'd manage to forget their future
E il tetto delle nostre aspettative
And the roof of our expectations
È così basso che si potrebbe anche toccare
Is so low that you could even touch it
La vita media di una prospettiva
The average life of a perspective
È una campagna elettorale
Is an election campaign
Ambiente, non è solo un'atmosfera
Environment, it's not just an atmosphere
Una rogna nelle mani di chi resta
A problem in the hands of those who remain
E il sasso su cui poggia il nostro culo
And the stone our a*s rests on
È il padrone della festa
Is the master of the party
Dicono che fossero giganti
They say they were giants
I primi uomini che camminavano sul mondo
The first men who walked on the world
Per questo forse allora di errori così grandi
That's why perhaps then for such big mistakes
Non c'era bisogno
There was no need
No, non c'era bisogno
No, there was no need
Di sacrificarci a un dio di poche lire
To sacrifice ourselves to a god of little worth
Pagarlo col silenzio perché
Pay him with silence because
Si deve progredire ma
We must progress but
È come un albero che cresce nella direzione opposta
It's like a tree that grows in the opposite direction
Le radici perse in aria e la testa nascosta
The roots lost in the air and the head hidden
Invece ciò che ti riguarda mi riguarda
Instead what concerns you concerns me
Come ciò che lo riguarda
As what concerns him
Ti riguarda
Concerns you
Se siamo ammanettati tutti insieme
If we're all handcuffed together
Alla stessa bomba
To the same bomb
Ora, per ora, per ora
Now, for now, for now
Un passo alla volta
One step at a time
Uno, per uno, per uno
One by one, by one
Fino alla svolta
Until the turning point
Ora, per ora, per ora
Now, for now, for now
Un passo alla volta
One step at a time
Uno, per uno, per uno
One by one, by one
E fino alla svolta
And until the turning point
Perché il sasso su cui poggia il nostro culo
Because the stone our a*s rests on
È il padrone della festa
Is the master of the party

Ammanettati translates to "handcuffed". It's a striking and somewhat uncommon word in song lyrics, immediately grabbing attention with its strong imagery.
In the context of the song, it's used metaphorically in the line "Se siamo ammanettati tutti insieme alla stessa bomba" (If we are all handcuffed together to the same bomb). This powerful image conveys a sense of shared fate and urgent collective responsibility, making it a memorable and thought-provoking choice.
