Il succo è che hai ragione, sono una troia, la peggiore
The point is you're right, I'm a wh*re, the worst
Il mio senso di colpa è più tipo un hangover, dura due ore
My guilt is more like a hangover, it lasts two hours
Cosa hai visto, una coppia? io ho visto due persone sole
What did you see, a couple? I saw two lonely people
La gente starebbe un po' meglio capisse che cazzo vuole da 'sto cazzo di amore
People would be a bit better off if they understood what the f*ck they want from this f*cking love
Ma cosa vuole in cambio, mi spiego, tu faresti a cambio, ci credo
But what does it want in return, I mean, you'd swap, I bet
Io invece non cambio, no, neanche ricambio, sto solo cercando un rimedio
I, on the other hand, don't change, no, I don't even reciprocate, I'm just looking for a remedy
Per fare buon viso a cattivo gioco
To put a good face on a bad situation
Non c'è un solo tuo sguardo che sia innocuo
There isn't a single one of your glances that's harmless
E non sei stata niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
And you weren't anything special, no, but not even a mistake
Sei solo un'ottima scusa per uscire a bere e incontrare persone
You're just an excellent excuse to go out drinking and meet people
Non sei stata niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
And you weren't anything special, no, but not even a mistake
Sei solo un'ottima scusa per portare avanti la conversazione
You're just an excellent excuse to keep the conversation going
Come questa, hai ragione, tu presta attenzione
Like this one, you're right, you pay attention
Confessa, non resta che l'estradizione
Confess, nothing remains but extradition
Per tua stessa ammissione dentro questa prigione
By your own admission inside this prison
Confessa, non resta che l'estradizione
Confess, nothing remains but extradition
Abbiamo comunque raggiunto un buon risultato
We've still reached a good result
M'era venuto il dubbio di essermi autoinvitato
I started to wonder if I had invited myself
A te serve un uomo sicuro che si senta arrivato
You need a confident man who feels like he's made it
Ed io avessi saputo che c'eri, mi sarei pettinato
And if I had known you were there, I would've combed my hair
Poi te ne lavi le mani come ponzio pilato
Then you wash your hands of it like Pontius Pilate
Forse ci serve una scusa per sentirci a disagio
Maybe we need an excuse to feel uncomfortable
E se ho la risposta pronta è perché mi sono allenato
And if I have a ready answer it's because I've trained
È perché mi sono alienato, detto così in senso lato
It's because I've alienated myself, broadly speaking
E non sei stata niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
And you weren't anything special, no, but not even a mistake
Sei solo un'ottima scusa per uscire a bere e incontrare persone
You're just an excellent excuse to go out drinking and meet people
Non sei stata niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
And you weren't anything special, no, but not even a mistake
Sei solo un'ottima scusa per portare avanti la conversazione
You're just an excellent excuse to keep the conversation going
Come questa, hai ragione, tu presta attenzione
Like this one, you're right, you pay attention
Confessa, non resta che l'estradizione
Confess, nothing remains but extradition
Per tua stessa ammissione dentro questa prigione
By your own admission inside this prison
Confessa, non resta che l'estradizione
Confess, nothing remains but extradition
Ma non mi serviva chi sa quale musa
But I didn't need any particular muse
Basta una che dica qualcosa
Just one that says something
E non deve essere una cosa eclatante
And it doesn't have to be something striking
Detto con quella bocca un 'vaffanculo' è elegante
Said with that mouth a 'f*ck you' is elegant
Ma non mi serviva chi sa quale musa
But I didn't need any particular muse
Basta una che dica qualcosa
Just one that says something
E non deve essere neanche interessante
And it doesn't even have to be interesting
C'è il senso della vita in cima a quelle tue gambe
There's the meaning of life on top of those legs of yours
Ma non mi serviva chi sa quale musa
But I didn't need any particular muse
Basta una che dica qualcosa
Just one that says something
E non deve essere una cosa eclatante
And it doesn't have to be something striking
Detto con quella bocca un 'vaffanculo' è elegante
Said with that mouth a 'f*ck you' is elegant
Ma non mi serviva chi sa quale musa
But I didn't need any particular muse
Basta una che dica qualcosa
Just one that says something
E non deve essere neanche interessante
And it doesn't even have to be interesting
Starei ore a guardarla che accavalla le gambe
I'd spend hours watching her crossing her legs
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake
Niente di speciale, no, ma neanche un errore
Nothing special, no, but not even a mistake

autoinvitato — self-invited
Autoinvitato is a compound word meaning "self-invited." It's an interesting and somewhat rare term that perfectly captures a specific social awkwardness.
In the song, the lyric "M'era venuto il dubbio di essermi autoinvitato" (I had the doubt of having self-invited myself) highlights a moment of insecurity and self-awareness. It's a relatable feeling of wondering if you truly belong or if you've overstepped, making it a memorable and engaging word for learners.
