Below, I translated the lyrics of the song QUANTE COSE by Rocco Hunt from Italian to English.
O saje, no?
You know, right?
Veco tanta maschere e pochi persone
I see many masks and few people
Al giorno d'oggi ess' se stess è 'a cchiu gross 'e tutt e' mission
Nowadays being yourself is the biggest of all missions
Parit tutt fotocopie, parit tutt quanti uguale
You all look like photocopies, you all look the same
Stat senza nu carattere e sit succube 'e ll'at
You have no character and are slaves to others
Mo tutt quant p' l'hip hop, manager e produzion
Now everyone for hip hop, managers and production
Oramai cont l'apparenz, chest è 'o senz e sti person
By now appearance counts, that's the meaning of these people
Rong vit a na passione senza form 'e distinzion
They ruin a passion without any distinction
Chest è hip-hop hardcor, miett a part 'e convinzion
This is hardcore hip-hop, put aside the conventions
'E pisciazziell a part 'e copp purtropp nun vann a tiempo
The posers aside, unfortunately, don't keep up
Cchiu tatuagg ca rim, e 'o talent nun serv a nient
More tattoos than rhymes, and talent is useless
Sciem ca passn in radio, cachiell pompn 'o rap
Fools that play on the radio, some pump up rap
Sientete Afrika Bambaataa e po ratt fuoc int 'o club
Listen to Afrika Bambaataa and then set fire in the club
Chest è music 'e disag, trasmett o suon e st'arragg
This is music of discomfort, transmitting the sound of this rage
Song a voc re uagliune, loro 'o sann pe chi 'o faccio
I am the voice of the kids, they know who I do it for
'A rivincit 'e l'Hip Hop, Rocco Hunt pe Tonin
The revenge of Hip Hop, Rocco Hunt for Tonin
Stai real rind o juoc, fa l'omm primm e fa 'e rime
Stay real in the game, be a man first and make rhymes
E stirpe nova int a l'iPod, cchiù Old School e sient mo'
And new breed in the iPod, more Old School and listen now
A gent nost 'o sap buon, e sti muccus s'accusn 'o flow
Our people know it well, and these kids accuse the flow
'O slang re scantinat nun pass pe 'e radio
The slang of the basements doesn't pass on the radio
'O frat nu pass osservat, scagnat 'a merd p'a ciucculat
The brother doesn't pass unnoticed, mistaking sh*t for chocolate
Ra zon oriental fin a Marianell
From the eastern zone to Marianell
Vuje sit 'e figl re stell, nuje figl re saittelle
You are the children of stars, we are the children of arrows
Chi m ra' nguoll int 'e comment aret 'o computer
Who talks behind the computer
Nun c va a ascì che agg sfunnat già ra minorenn
Doesn't go out because I already smashed them since I was a minor
Tu guardm ind e video, tu camp cu st'ammirj
You watch me in the videos, you live with this admiration
A vita mi è na sfid e sta pazziell ormai è fatica
My life is a challenge and this game is now hard work
Papà s'aspett o post fiss, ij fiss o post e blocc
Dad expects a steady job, I fixed the post and block
Poeta 'e sti palazz, a voce 'e st'anema sporc
Poet of these buildings, the voice of this dirty soul
A tante cose non credo più
I don't believe in many things anymore
E tante altre non le do' più
And many others I don't give anymore
Come l'affetto e il rispetto, lo ammetto
Like affection and respect, I admit it
Ogni nfamità ca m fai già me l'aspett
Every betrayal you do to me, I already expect it
A tante cose non credo più
I don't believe in many things anymore

Like affection and respect, I admit it
Ogni nfamità ca m fai già me l'aspett
Every betrayal you do to me, I already expect it
Comm si aropp a nu collaud t nu fuj cu l'auto
Like you're after a test drive and you don't run with the car
E guardie stann ngul, ormai s so ngullat
And the cops are f*cked, by now they are f*cked
Vang a spiega' che e a fa magnà e criatur
I come to explain that you have to feed the kids
Biberon, ciucc, pannulin e nun c'a fai cchiu a sntì pipì e pupù
Bottles, pacifiers, diapers, and you can't stand hearing pee and poop anymore
E pcciò staj abbasc a l'edificio e circ e t fa ricc
And so you're down at the building trying to get rich
E si c rai o dentifric sicc chill s'o pipp pur
And if you find dry toothpaste, they snort it too
Ma ricitm vuje
But tell me, you
Quala person nun vuless nu burzon e Louis V
Which person wouldn't want a Louis V jacket
Chin e fasul
Full of beans
E a partì a lugl, a fa sul due bigliett
And starting in July, to make only two tickets
Fitt na vettur e vir comm t dviert
Rent a car and see how you have fun
Invec e ber Latt Bern scadut, si diventat sgarrup
Instead of drinking expired Bern milk, you become shabby
T'arratt finisc ind a na travers vattut
You end up in a beaten alley
Cu tre nfamun ca culpiscn a turn, 'a cavia ra caccia notturn
With three traitors that hit in turn, the prey of the night hunt
Craccomn acrobat arrobbn, t'accoppn, ngopp e barcun
Acrobatic thieves rob, they kill you, on the balcony
Perdn o mallupp p fujì re robocop
They lose the package to escape from robocop
Range Evoque, robb o'ver ij e Rocc
Range Evoque, stolen or I and Rocc
A tante cose non credo più
I don't believe in many things anymore
E tante altre non le do' più
And many others I don't give anymore
Come l'affetto e il rispetto, lo ammetto
Like affection and respect, I admit it
Ogni nfamità ca m fai già me l'aspett
Every betrayal you do to me, I already expect it
A tante cose non credo più
I don't believe in many things anymore
E tante altre non le do' più
And many others I don't give anymore
Come l'affetto e il rispetto, lo ammetto
Like affection and respect, I admit it
Ogni nfamità ca m fai già me l'aspett
Every betrayal you do to me, I already expect it
