Ho perso un'altra occasione buona stasera
I lost another good opportunity tonight
È andata a casa con il negro, la troia!
She went home with the n*gger, the b*tch!
Mi son distratto un attimo
I got distracted for a moment
Colpa d'alfredo
Alfredo's fault
Che con i suoi discorsi seri e inopportuni
Who with his serious and inopportune talks
Mi fa sciupare tutte le occasioni
Makes me waste all the opportunities
Io prima o poi lo uccido
I'll kill him sooner or later
Lo uccido!
I'll kill him!
E lei invece non ha perso tempo
And she instead didn't waste time
Ha preso subito la palla al balzo
She immediately seized the opportunity
L'ho vista uscire mano nella mano con quell'africano
I saw her leave hand in hand with that African guy
Che non parla neanche bene l'italiano
Who doesn't even speak Italian well
Ma si vede che si fa capire bene quando vuole
But it's clear he makes himself understood well when he wants
Tutte le sere ne accompagna a casa una diversa
Every evening he takes a different one home
Chissà che cosa gli racconta
Who knows what he tells them
Per me è la macchina che c'ha che conta!
For me it's the car he has that counts!
E quella stronza non si è neanche preoccupata
And that b*tch didn't even bother
Di dirmi almeno qualche cosa, che so una scusa
To tell me at least something, like an excuse
Si era già dimenticata
She had already forgotten
Di quello che mi aveva detto prima
About what she had told me before
'mi puoi portare a casa questa sera?
'Can you take me home tonight?
Abito fuori modena, modena park'
I live outside Modena, Modena Park'
Ti porterei anche in america!
I'd even take you to America!
Ho comperato la macchina apposta!
I bought the car specifically for that!
E mi ero già montato la testa
And I had already gotten ahead of myself
Avevo fatto tutti i miei progetti
I had made all my plans
Non la portavo mica a casa
I wasn't just taking her home
Beh se la sposavo non lo so, ma cosa conta
Well if I was marrying her I don't know, but what does it matter
Sono convinto
I'm convinced
Che se non ci fosse stato lui, mi avrebbe detto sì!
That if he hadn't been there, she would've said yes!
Sono convinto
I'm convinced
Che se non ci fosse stato lui, mi avrebbe detto sì!
That if he hadn't been there, she would've said yes!

sciupare — to waste / to spoil
Sciupare means 'to waste' or 'to spoil'. It's a less common verb than 'perdere' (to lose) and carries a stronger connotation of ruining something valuable or an opportunity.
In this song, the narrator blames his friend Alfredo for making him "sciupare tutte le occasioni" (waste all the opportunities). It vividly expresses his frustration at missing out on a chance with a woman, highlighting the idea that Alfredo's serious talk spoiled his moment.
