'comunque non è questo il modo di fare'
Anyway, this isn't the way to do it
Disse il commerciante all'uomo del pane
Said the merchant to the bread man
'domani sarà festa in questo stupido paese
"Tomorrow will be a holiday in this stupid town
Ma non per noi che stiamo a lavorare'
But not for us who are working"
L'uomo del pane fece finta di niente
The bread man pretended not to notice
Se ne andò tranquillamente
He left quietly
Aveva tante, tante, tante cose da fare
He had many, many, many things to do
Poi lui non ci poteva fare niente, niente
Then he couldn't do anything, nothing
La primavera insiste la mattina
Spring insists in the morning
Dalla mia cucina vedo il mondo tondo
From my kitchen I see the round world
Sempre diverso, sempre ogni mattina
Always different, always every morning
Sin dal giorno prima, dal giorno prima
Since the day before, since the day before
Con in bocca un gusto amaro che fa schifo
With a disgusting bitter taste in my mouth
Chissà cosa è stato, quello che ho bevuto
Who knows what it was, what I've drunk
M'alzo dal letto e penso al mio povero
I get out of bed and think of my poor
Fegato, fegato, fegato spappolato
Liver, liver, ruined liver
Fegato, fegato, fegato spappolato
Liver, liver, ruined liver
Dice mia madre devi andare dal dottore
My mother says you have to go to the doctor
A farti guardare, a farti visitare
To get yourself checked, to get yourself examined
Hai una faccia che fa schifo, guarda come sei ridotto
Your face looks awful, look at the state you're in
Mi sa tanto che finisci male
I have a feeling you'll come to a bad end
La guardo negli occhi, con un sorriso strano
I look her in the eyes, with a strange smile
Neppure la vedo ma forse ha ragione davvero
I don't even see her but maybe she's truly right
Ma fuori c'è la festa del paese e vado a fare un giro
But outside there's the town festival and I'm going for a stroll
Non l'ho neanche detto
I didn't even say it
Che già mia madre che mi corre dietro con il vestito nuovo
And my mother's already running after me with the new dress
La fuga è veloce mi metto le scarpe che sono già in strada
The escape is fast, I put on my shoes, I'm already in the street
Che bella giornata, non bado alla gente che guarda sconvolta
What a beautiful day, I don't mind the people who look shocked
Ormai ci sono abituato, sono vaccinato, sono controllato
I'm used to it by now, I'm vaccinated, I'm controlled
Si pensa ormai addirittura in giro
People even think now, out and about
È chiaro che sono drogato
It's clear that I'm on drugs
La festa ha sempre il solito sapore
The festival always has the usual taste
Il gusto di campane, non è neanche male
The taste of bells, it's not even bad
C'è chi va a messa e c'è chi pensa di fumare
Some go to mass and some think of smoking
Come aperitivo prima di mangiare
As an aperitif before eating
Fini s'è alzato da poco, e non è ancora sveglio
Fini just got up, and isn't awake yet
Non è ancora sveglio
He isn't awake yet
Ed è talmente scazzato
And he's so p*ssed off
Che non riesce a parlare nemmeno
That he can't even speak
La sera che arriva non è mai diversa dalla sera prima
The evening that arrives is never different from the evening before
La gente che affoga nell'unica sala: la discoteca
People drowning in the only hall: the disco
Ci vuol qualcosa per tenersi a galla sopra questa merda
You need something to stay afloat above this sh*t
Sopra questa merda
Above this sh*t
E non m'importa se domani mi dovrò svegliare ancora
And I don't care if tomorrow I'll have to wake up again
Con quel gusto in bocca, gusto in bocca, gusto in bocca
With that taste in my mouth, taste in my mouth, taste in my mouth
God save the queen
God save the queen
And the fascist regime
And the fascist regime
Did you like this lyrics translation?
spappolato — pulped / mashed
Spappolato literally means 'pulped' or 'mashed'. It's a vivid and somewhat aggressive word that you don't often encounter in everyday conversation, making it quite memorable.
In the context of the song, Vasco Rossi sings about his "fegato spappolato" (pulped liver), a raw and visceral expression of feeling utterly exhausted and perhaps suffering the consequences of a wild lifestyle. It's a powerful image that immediately grabs attention and conveys a strong sense of weariness and excess.
