Paleobarattolo Lyrics in English by Renato Zero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paleobarattolo by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
Chiuso dentro ad un barattolo
Closed inside a jar
Sono stato chiuso in un barattolo
I've been closed in a jar
Per vent'anni e trentamila secoli
For twenty years and thirty thousand centuries
Di qua, di là
Here and there
Di qua, di là
Here and there
Preso a calci dentro a quel barattolo
Kicked inside that jar
Mentre il mondo fuori andava a rotoli
While the world outside was falling apart
Per vent'anni e trentamila secoli
For twenty years and thirty thousand centuries
Di qua, di là
Here and there
Di qua, di là
Here and there
Ehi amico
Hey friend
Dammi l'apriscatole
Give me the can opener
Sono stanco d'essere un giocattolo
I'm tired of being a toy
Per vent'anni e trentamila secoli
For twenty years and thirty thousand centuries
Di qua, di là
Here and there
Di qua, di là
Here and there
Perché ti nascondi
Why are you hiding
Dai vieni qui
Come on, come here
Giochiamo un po'
Let's play a little
Impariamo ancora, se tu lo vuoi
Let's learn again, if you want to
A ridere
To laugh
Sai cos'è, che non va
You know what's wrong
Chiudere in scatola la libertà
To box up freedom
Non ci sto
I won't stand for it
Vado via
I'm leaving
Cerchiamo scampo nella fantasia
Let's find refuge in fantasy
Ora passo tutto il giorno a ridere
Now I spend all day laughing
C'è la gente chiusa nei barattoli
There are people closed in jars
Non capiscono ma sono secoli
They don't understand but it's been centuries
Che vanno su, che vanno giù
That go up, that go down
Mi diverto se li sento piangere
I enjoy myself when I hear them cry
Sono chiusi tutti nei barattoli
They're all closed in jars
Si lamentano ma sono secoli
They complain but it's been centuries
Che vanno su che vanno giù
That go up, that go down
Perché ti nascondi
Why are you hiding
Dai vieni qui
Come on, come here
Giochiamo un po'
Let's play a little
Impariamo ancora, se tu lo vuoi
Let's learn again, if you want to
A ridere
To laugh
Sai cos'è, che non va
You know what's wrong
Chiudere in scatola la libertà
To box up freedom
Non ci sto
I won't stand for it
Vado via
I'm leaving
Cerchiamo scampo nella fantasia
Let's find refuge in fantasy
Chiuso dentro ad un barattolo
Closed inside a jar
Sono stato chiuso in un barattolo
I've been closed in a jar
Per vent'anni e trentamila secoli
For twenty years and thirty thousand centuries
Di qua, di là, di qua di là
Here and there, here and there
Su e giù, su e giù
Up and down, up and down

Paleobarattolo — Paleo-jar
Paleobarattolo is a unique and playful neologism created by Renato Zero, combining "paleo" (ancient) with "barattolo" (jar).
In the song, it refers to being trapped in an old, perhaps metaphorical, jar for an incredibly long time, symbolizing a feeling of being stuck or confined while the world moves on. This imaginative word perfectly captures the song's theme of breaking free from stagnation.
