Il mio amico è in galera, mentre il bimbo nasce
My friend is in jail while the baby is born
La sua tipa piange, chi glielo spiega?
His girlfriend is crying, who explains it to her?
Non vedrà il padre
He won't see his father
Lo conosce per la prima volta alle medie, e non è normale
She first meets him in middle school, and it's not normal
C'è l'aria tesa e non respiro bene, fammi respirare
The air is tense and I can't breathe well, let me breathe
Pochi soldi e la spesa non basta per quattro
Little money and the shopping is not enough for four
Mangiamo i prodotti che ci dà la chiesa
We eat the products the church gives us
Per pranzo sempre pasta in bianco
For lunch always plain pasta
Se avanza, si mangerà a cena, sennò, si guarderà il piatto
If there is any leftover, we will eat it for dinner, otherwise we will look at the plate
Oltre al vuoto nello stomaco, sento il vuoto dentro al petto
In addition to the emptiness in my stomach, I feel the emptiness inside my chest
Un fratello fa ancora rapine, gli è andata male col calcio
One brother still does robberies, he had bad luck with football
Un altro prepara bustine, fornisce piazze di spaccio
Another prepares sachets and supplies drug dealing places
Vedo una madre in cortile, disperata stringe al braccio
I see a mother in the courtyard, desperately clutching her arm
Una bottiglia e non le figlie, benvenuto nel disagio
A bottle and not the daughters, welcome to the discomfort
Uomo, benvenuto dentro al fango
Man, welcome to the mud
Dove nasco, dove muoio
Where I am born, where I die
Da una vita in apnea, mo' ho bisogno di respiro
From a life of apnea, now I need to breathe
Tu vuoi farmi la guerra, giuro non ti lascio vivo
You want to make war on me, I swear I won't leave you alive
Finché l'uomo non sarà a terra, non cessate mai col tiro, poom
Until the man is down, never stop shooting, poom
Il mio amico è in galera, mentre il bimbo nasce
My friend is in jail while the baby is born
La sua tipa piange, chi glielo spiega?
His girlfriend is crying, who explains it to her?
Non vedrà il padre
He won't see his father
Lo conosce per la prima volta alle medie, e non è normale
She first meets him in middle school, and it's not normal
C'è l'aria tesa e non respiro bene, fammi respirare
The air is tense and I can't breathe well, let me breathe
Piange sopra i social media, come se in fondo servisse a qualcosa
He cries over social media, as if it were ultimately of any use
L'essere umano è un problema, l'essere umano è il più pericoloso
Human being is a problem, human being is the most dangerous
C'è chi muore per la guerra e invece chi muore per un'overdose
There are those who die from war and those who die from an overdose
Ci sterminiamo a vicenda, senti gli spari, poi nessuna voce
We exterminate each other, you hear the shots, then no voices
Nessuno ha visto, nessuno c'era
Nobody saw, nobody was there
Noi, nel buio assistiamo alla scena, un litigio diventa tragedia
We, in the dark, witness the scene, an argument becomes a tragedy
L'assassino era pure innocente, il ministero non gli dà difesa
The murderer was also innocent, the ministry does not defend him
Personale, è normale, ogni azione c'ha una conseguenza
Personal, it's normal, every action has a consequence
Soprattutto se respiri male, soprattutto se ti manca l'aria
Especially if you are breathing badly, especially if you are short of air
Quindi respira, trattieni la calma, l'ansia che sale, la testa ben salda
So breathe, keep your calm, the anxiety rising, your head steady
Se serve
If necessary
Il quartiere, fra', puzza di gabbia
The neighborhood, bro, smells like a cage
Colma l'ansia, non starci a pensare
Fill the anxiety, don't think about it
La pressione poi diventa rabbia
The pressure then turns into anger
Fammi respirare
Let me breathe
Il mio amico è in galera, mentre il bimbo nasce
My friend is in jail while the baby is born
La sua tipa piange, chi glielo spiega?
His girlfriend is crying, who explains it to her?
Non vedrà il padre
He won't see his father
Lo conosce per la prima volta alle medie, e non è normale
She first meets him in middle school, and it's not normal
C'è l'aria tesa e non respiro bene, fammi respirare
The air is tense and I can't breathe well, let me breathe
