Kevvuo' Lyrics in English Rocco Hunt
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Kevvuo' by Rocco Hunt from Italian to English.
Ngopp o giurnal vint facc, guagliuni ca saccio
Twenty faces on the paper, kids I know
Perciò mo sadda fa nu disco ca raggia 'nte tracc
So now we gotta drop a record that screams on the tracks
Chisti ca sanna scurdat fra chi cumman
These dudes forgot who's in charge
Amma vulut a biciclett perciò mo mbennam
We wanted the bike, so now we pedal
Padre nuost in ta na curv? e nuj inta nu suv
The Lord's up on a bend while we're riding in a SUV
Ogni notte festeggiamm chesta vita assurd
Every night we toast this crazy life
Miez a quanti tarantelle 'e fatt pe sta loc
In the middle of all the fuss made for this hood
Sadda vencere doi vot si vieni ro sud
You gotta win twice if you're born in the South
Fra si stamm in to gioco può pija tutt cos
Bro, once we're in the game you can grab it all
Chesta vit è na puttana che nun arripos
This life’s a wh*re that never sleeps
Pur a marunnella chiagne ncopp e ros
Even the Virgin’s crying over the blood
Ogni mamma vo co figlio nun fernesce ncopp a croce
Every mom wants her son not to end up on a cross
Brindisi 'e falangina, back in the palazzine
Falanghina toasts, back in the projects
O fumm che paraffine, sta robb frate c'accir
Smoke thick as paraffin, this stuff, bro, kills
Stu giurnalist parla e nu sac c cazz scriv
That journalist talks and writes a ton of bullsh*t
Forse simmo colpevol ma nun simmo cattiv
Maybe we’re guilty but we ain’t evil
O' sai pecchè nun m fid e chi parl re storie 'e lat?
Know why I don’t trust people telling other folks’ tales?
Pecchè bell e buon putess fa n'anfamat
’Cause even a sweet guy can turn rat
Parla poc e a maggior parte sentimmo
Talk less and listen more
Stu munn è favezo comm 'e magliette supreme
This world’s fake like Supreme tees
Amma sunnat pave' st'erb, sti pischelle e o rap
We dreamed on weed, girls and rap
Pe' mett 'o nomm 'e 'sti quartieri scritt n'copp 'a mapp
To put these blocks’ names written on the map
Pe' tutti è cumpagni chiusi inta na gabbia
For every buddy locked inside a cage
Tanta anni ca purtammo chesta croce 'ncopp 'e spalle
So many years we’ve carried this cross on our backs
A nui non ci cagna, simm fatt accussì
Nothing changes us, we’re built like this
Sta vit a piccolin c'ha imparat a suffrì
This life since kids taught us to hurt
Nun ci fidamm e si o facimmo simme pronti a murì
We don’t trust and if we act we’re ready to die
Meglio nu post o cimmitero che nu juorno da spij
Better a plot in the graveyard than a day as a snitch
Nun è colpa ra nosta, e suonn so chiù gruoss
It ain’t our fault, our dreams are bigger
E tutt l'opportunità che c regal stu post
And all the chances this place pretends to give
Nun è colpa ra mia, st'ansia nun vo fernì
It ain’t my fault, this anxiety won’t quit
L'ammore ca si dimostra, nui simm fatti accussì
Love’s shown in deeds, we’re made like this
Kevvuo'? nui simm fatt accussì
Whatcha want? we’re made like this
Sta vit a piccolina c'ha imparat a suffrì
This little life taught us to hurt
Kevvuo'? nui simm fatt accussì
Whatcha want? we’re made like this
Nun ci fidamm e si o facimm simme pronti a murì
We don’t trust and if we act we’re ready to die
Kevvuo'? nui simm fatt accussì, nui simm fatt accussì
Whatcha want? we’re made like this, we’re made like this
Meglio nu post 'o cimmitero che nu juorno da spij
Better a spot in the cemetery than a day as a spy
Stammece accort ca scoppia o' rilevatore 'e fummo
Watch out, the smoke detector’s blowing up
Rint' 'a 'na stanza singol tanta guagliuni
In a single room so many kids
L'allarme son, song 'e voc re quartieri ca s' so' riuniti assieme pe' da voc 'a 'sti riun
The alarm rings, it’s the voices of the hoods gathered to back these rhymes
Fitt e paranz è appena sciut a nto' mercat?
Has the fresh catch just hit the market?
Corrado a nammurat è appena asciut carcerat?
Has Corrado the lover just got outta jail?
Ra vintann crisc ambress e già si nu surdat
At twenty you grow fast and you’re already a soldier
'E frati nuosti vann in Inghilterra
Our brothers head to England
Vanno all'estero, so' stanchi e chesta vit 'e merd
They go abroad, tired of this sh*tty life
'E crisciut rinto 'o strett comm a Gibilterr
They grew up in a strait like Gibraltar
Ma nun rinnegamm mai a famm pecchè serv
But we never deny hunger ’cause it serves us
Io sent puzz 'e morte proprio comme a Chanel
I smell death just like it’s Chanel
Nun c' sta paragone, stamm 'a natu livell
No comparison, we’re on another level
C' spaccammo tutt 'a torta 'e nu' ve rammo 'na fella
We smash the whole cake and won’t give you a slice
Chi tradisce l'alleanza prov 'e pen 'e l'infern
Whoever breaks the pact tastes hell’s pain
A nui non ci cagna, simm fatt accussì
Nothing changes us, we’re built like this
Sta vit a piccolin c'ha imparat a suffrì
This life since kids taught us to hurt
Nun ci fidamm e si o facimm simme pronti a murì
We don’t trust and if we act we’re ready to die
Meglio nu post o cimmitero che nu juorno da spij
Better a plot in the graveyard than a day as a snitch
Nun è colpa ra nosta, e suonn so chiù gruoss
It ain’t our fault, our dreams are bigger
'E tutt l'opportunità che c regal stu post
And all the chances this place hands out
Nun è colpa ra mia, st'ansia nun vo fernì
It ain’t my fault, this anxiety won’t quit
L'ammore ca si dimostra, nui simm fatti accussì
Love’s shown in deeds, we’re made like this
Kevvuo'? nui simm fatt accussì
Whatcha want? we’re made like this
Sta vit a piccolin c'ha imparat a suffrì

Whatcha want? we’re made like this, we’re made like this
Meglio nu post 'o cimmitero che nu juorno da spij
Better a spot in the cemetery than a day as a spy
Kevvuo'?
Whatcha want?
Nun giudicà brò
Don’t judge bro
Meglio nu post o cimmitero che nu juorno da spij
Better a plot in the graveyard than a day as a snitch
A nui nun ce cagn, simm fatt accussì
You can’t change us, we’re made like this
Nui simm fatt accussì
We’re made like this
