CRUDELE Lyrics in English Salmo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song CRUDELE by Salmo from Italian to English.
Yo
Yo
Lebon al mic
Lebon on the mic
Senti, yo
Listen, yo
Mio bisnonno ha fatto a pezzi suo cugino
My great-grandpa chopped his cousin to pieces
E l'ha sotterrato in giardino
And buried him in the yard
Dicci dov'è il corpo o fai la stessa fine
Tell us where the body's at or you'll meet the same end
Il sangue segnava il confine, la famiglia si divise, yeah
Blood marked the border, the family split up, yeah
Era prima dei sequestri
It was before the kidnappings
L'hanno arrestato quando hanno trovato i resti
They busted him when they found the remains
Girava col machete, con un fare aggressive
He walked around with a machete, acting aggressive
Pensava ai tempi della guerra, quando apriva il cranio dei tedeschi
He thought back to the war days, when he split German skulls
L'aveva fatta grossa, occhi verdi e barba rossa
He'd crossed the line, green eyes and a red beard
Sconto di pena, buona condotta
Sentence reduced for good behavior
Nessuno l'ha aspettato al suo ritorno
Nobody waited for him when he got back
Ma una volta a casa, trovò un figlio alcolizzato, era mio nonno
But once home, he found a boozed-up son, that was my grandpa
Il quale era così ubriaco
Who was so drunk
Da non riconoscere mio padre, sapere quando è nato
He couldn't recognize my dad or say when he was born
Trasferito da campagna alla città, come Renato
Moved from the countryside to the city, like Renato
Un altro figlio abbandonato
Another abandoned child
È crudele
It's cruel
Crudele
Cruel
È così crudele
It's so cruel
Brindo alla memoria di chi c'era
I toast to the memory of those who were there
Tratto da una storia vera
Based on a true story
Cresciuto come un cane per le strade, in casa piove tra le crepe
Raised like a dog on the streets, at home it rains through the cracks
Sette fratelli nel fottuto castello delle streghe
Seven brothers in the f*cking witches' castle
Per cacare c'è un buco nella parete
To take a sh*t there's a hole in the wall
Per la fede, non ti serve un prete
For faith, you don't need a priest
Mio padre cresce, aspetta sulla porta
My father grows up, waits at the door
Dice, 'Guardaci bene che questa è l'ultima volta'
He says, 'Look at us well 'cause this is the last time'
Che qui fa troppo freddo e la coperta è corta
It's too cold here and the blanket's short
Per chi ti abbandona e non ritorna
For the one who leaves you and doesn't come back
Vergogna, affoga nei sensi di colpa
Shame, he drowns in guilt
Diciotto, svolta in Corsica, andato via di corsa
At eighteen, he took off to Corsica, left in a rush
Fa la valigia, non ha niente nella borsa
He packs a suitcase, there's nothing in the bag
Al suo ritorno in città mette mia madre incinta
When he gets back to town he knocks my mom up
Nasce mio fra' e Mauri, eccomi qua
My bro and Mauri are born, here I am
Tu dormi, te lo spiego un'altra volta
You sleep, I'll explain it another time
Che tanto, se ci penso, faccio sempre notte fonda
'Cause when I think about it I always stay up late
Impara da chi sente, non da chi ascolta
Learn from those who feel, not from those who just listen
Lo sai che chi brilla a volte è figlio dell'ombra?
You know the ones who shine are sometimes children of the dark?
Brindo con nessuno, scrivo per chi lo scorda, memoria corta
I toast with nobody, I write for those who forget, short memory
Sputo fuori il fumo, la mia storia prende forma
I spit out the smoke, my story takes shape
Chi la vive dice sempre, 'Non importa'
Whoever lives it always says, 'It doesn't matter'
La vita è così semplice, ma per chi la racconta
Life's so simple, but for the one who tells it
È crudele
It's cruel
Crudele
Cruel
È così crudele
It's so cruel
Brindo alla memoria di chi c'era
I toast to the memory of those who were there
Tratto da una storia vera
Based on a true story
