Vai pure, no, aspetta
Go ahead, no, wait
Si vede che hai fretta
It shows you're in a hurry
Prendo ciò che mi spetta
I take what's due to me
Ma scelgo io se non scegli tu
But I choose if you don't choose
Vai pure, no aspetta
Go ahead, no wait
Facciamo tipo staffetta
Let's do like a relay race
Uno che corre, uno aspetta
One who runs, one waits
Ma corro io se non corri tu
But I run if you don't run
E allora fa: che peccato
And then it's like: what a shame
Ogni volta ricomincio da capo'
Every time I start over from scratch
Scusami tu
You forgive me
Dopo un po' non conta più
After a while it doesn't matter anymore
E allora fa: che peccato
And then it's like: what a shame
Se ha la colpa solo chi ha cominciato'
If only the one who started is to blame
Scusami tu
You forgive me
Dopo un po' non conta più
After a while it doesn't matter anymore
Per te non sono un libro aperto
For you I'm not an open book
Sono un album da colorare
I'm a coloring book
Ma se il barista mi chiede: 'piccola o media la birra?'
But if the bartender asks me: 'small or medium beer?'
La prendo un po' sul personale
I take it a bit personally
Se va tutto bene, neanche te ne accorgi
If everything goes well, you don't even notice
Se va tutto male, quale guancia porgi?
If everything goes wrong, which cheek do you turn?
Al tuo destino non conviene opporti
You shouldn't oppose your destiny
Scrivo barre su barre, sono perle ai porci
I write bars on bars, they're pearls before swine
Se va tutto bene, neanche te ne accorgi
If everything goes well, you don't even notice
Se va tutto male, quale guancia porgi?
If everything goes wrong, which cheek do you turn?
Al tuo destino non conviene opporti
You shouldn't oppose your destiny
Scrivo barre su barre
I write bars on bars
E allora fa: che peccato
And then it's like: what a shame
Ogni volta ricomincio da capo'
Every time I start over from scratch
Scusami tu
You forgive me
Dopo un po' non conta più
After a while it doesn't matter anymore
E allora fa: che peccato
And then it's like: what a shame
Se ha la colpa solo chi ha cominciato'
If only the one who started is to blame
Scusami tu
You forgive me
Dopo un po' non conta più
After a while it doesn't matter anymore
Si stava meglio prima
Things were better before
Prende una brutta china
It's taking a bad turn
E tu hai una brutta cera
And you look bad
Una ruga nuova a sera
A new wrinkle each evening
Si stava meglio prima
Things were better before
Ma prima quando? prima
But before when? before
Prima che lei staccasse la fottuta spina
Before she pulled the f*cking plug
È una questione d'abitudine, tu più di me
It's a matter of habit, you more than me
Tra il martello e l'incudine, sei giudice
Between the hammer and the anvil, you're a judge
Ne senti di cotte e di crude su di me
You hear all sorts of things about me
Io ci ho provato, ma è inutile
I tried, but it's useless
È una questione di abitudine, tu più di me
It's a matter of habit, you more than me
Tra il martello e l'incudine, sei giudice e imputato
Between the hammer and the anvil, you're judge and defendant
Come se avessero amputato un arto
As if they had amputated a limb
Come se avessero
As if they had
E allora fa: che peccato
And then it's like: what a shame
Ogni volta ricomincio da capo'
Every time I start over from scratch
Scusami tu
You forgive me
Dopo un po' non conta più
After a while it doesn't matter anymore
E allora fa: che peccato
And then it's like: what a shame
Se ha la colpa solo chi ha cominciato'
If only the one who started is to blame
Scusami tu
You forgive me
Dopo un po' non conta più
After a while it doesn't matter anymore
Did you like this lyrics translation?

incudine — anvil

Incudine translates to "anvil". It's a less common word in everyday conversation and music, making it stand out.

In the song, it appears in the idiom "tra il martello e l'incudine" (between the hammer and the anvil), which means to be in a difficult or precarious situation, caught between two opposing forces. This vivid imagery adds depth to the lyrics, describing a feeling of being trapped and pressured.
