Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Messia by Salmo from Italian to English.
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk to zion
They never try to walk to zion
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion (oh), never
They never try to walk through zion (oh), never
Qualcuno uccida il nuovo Messia
Someone kill the new Messiah
In nome della fede lascia che sia
In the name of faith, let it be
Vede ad occhi chiusi ma la via è buia
He sees with closed eyes but the path is dark
Crede nei soprusi e grida 'Halleluja'
He believes in abuses and shouts "Hallelujah"
Questo cristo in verde che Gesù sarebbe?
This Christ in green, what kind of Jesus would he be?
Hai mai visto un verme da Gerusalemme?
Have you ever seen a worm from Jerusalem?
Diecimila leghe come Giulio Verne
Ten thousand leagues like Jules Verne
Voglio dargli fuoco, streghe di Salem
I want to set them on fire, witches of Salem
Stiamo dieci a uno, puntate
We're ten to one, bet
Voi sparate con il mitra, sputate
You shoot with the submachine gun, you spit
Imputati una vita a puntate
Accused, a life in installments
Non puoi puntare il dito con le dita amputate
You can't point the finger with amputated fingers
C'è chi suda, c'è chi sulla sdraio senza bermuda
There's who sweats, there's who's on the deckchair without bermudas
Non cerca lavoro, cerca Playa Desnuda
Doesn't look for work, looks for Playa Desnuda
La peste alle vostre famiglie, alle feste alle ville, al Paese delle Meraviglie
The plague on your families, on parties at villas, on Wonderland
È una guerra tra bottoni e bottiglie
It's a war between buttons and bottles
Papponi mandano alla Bocconi le figlie
Pimps send their daughters to Bocconi
Chiodo schiaccia chiodo
Nail drives out nail
Nuovo logo, ad ogni modo è un'altra lode
New logo, anyway it's another praise
Da terzo mondo a quarto globo
From third world to fourth globe
Quando affogo per favore puoi farmi una foto?
When I drown, please can you take a photo of me?
Schiena a terra, vale todo
Back on the ground, anything goes
Bacio I tagli sulle mani a chi lavora sodo
I kiss the cuts on the hands of those who work hard
Quando tutto finisce non resta che l'odio
When everything ends, only hatred remains
Di chi vuole gli immigrati al rogo
Of those who want immigrants burned at the stake
Si stava meglio ai tempi della Lira
Things were better in the time of the Lira
Tutto da rifare come se non tira
Everything to redo as if it doesn't work
Qui chi ti informa è Al Jazeera
Here, who informs you is Al Jazeera
Ricorda, respira, poi prendi la mira e pam
Remember, breathe, then take aim and pam
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk to zion (oh), never
They never try to walk to zion (oh), never
Qualcuno uccida il nuovo Messia
Someone kill the new Messiah
In nome della fede lascia che sia
In the name of faith, let it be
Se di tasca mia pagherò affogando
If I'll pay from my own pocket, drowning
La didascalia è 'cosa stai pensando?'
The caption is "what are you thinking?"
Ho l'accidia, superbia e lussuria
I have sloth, pride, and lust
L'invidia, la Siria, la Libia, la Bibbia
Envy, Syria, Libya, the Bible
Mi levo la cinghia se stupro tua figlia
I take off my belt if I r*pe your daughter
Mi faccio un solo giorno rinchiuso a Rebibbia
I'll do just one day locked up in Rebibbia
E il perbenismo ovunque
And moralism everywhere
Stronza vengo al dunque
B*tch, I get to the point
La verità ti strozza sempre con le braccia lunghe
The truth always chokes you with long arms
Signore pietà, dividerò il cuore, faremo a metà
Lord have mercy, I'll divide my heart, we'll split it
Perché I soldi che ho fatto non fanno la tua povertà
Because the money I made doesn't make your poverty
Chi non paga pegno ha quattro stipendi
Who doesn't pay the price has four salaries
Non serve l'ingegno genio, ti servono assegni
You don't need genius, genius, you need checks
Vedrai che andrà meglio domani al risveglio
You'll see it'll be better tomorrow upon waking
La faccia coperta di segni
Face covered in marks
Quando tutto va a fuoco ti sputano addosso pensando di spegnere incendi
When everything's on fire, they spit on you thinking they're putting out fires
È una guerra tra poveri, deboli, sogni, bersagli
It's a war between poor, weak, dreams, targets
Corpi nei portabagagli con I bavagli
Bodies in trunks with gags
Guardo il colpevole prendere il sole ai Caraibi
I watch the culprit sunbathing in the Caribbean
Muove la coda a sonagli
He wags his rattlesnake tail
Tornerà giovane in mezza mattina
He'll be young again in half a morning
Il sangue lo attira
The blood attracts him
Punto alla testa del nuovo Messia
I aim for the head of the new Messiah
Prendo la mira e pam
I take aim and pam
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk through zion
Some of them talk the righteous way
Some of them talk the righteous way
Even pray jah jah every day
Even pray jah jah every day
But they never try to walk through zion
But they never try to walk through zion
They never try to walk to zion, never
They never try to walk to zion, never
