Vecchio
Dude
Ho fatto un sogno
I had a dream
Non era proprio un sogno, era un incubo
It wasn't really a dream, it was a nightmare
C'era gigi buffon
There was Gigi Buffon
Ministro dello sport
Minister of Sport
Si, gigi, gianluigi buffon, il portiere
Yes, Gigi, Gianluigi Buffon, the goalkeeper
Era diventato ministro dello sport
He had become Minister of Sport
C'era ancora renzi
Renzi was still there
Ma era tipo il quarto-quinto governo renzi
But it was like the fourth-fifth Renzi government
Ora non ricordo esattamente ma
Now I don't remember exactly but
Cisti cisti
Cisti cisti
Non c'erano più i partiti
There were no more parties
Ceh, c'erano ma non c'era più
I mean, there were but there wasn't anymore
Destra o sinistra
Right or left
Né centro
Nor center
Né lega
Nor Lega
Erano più dei movimenti, ecco
They were more like movements, you see
Al governo c'era il partito
In government there was the party
Il movimento dei vegani-non fumatori
The vegan-non-smoker movement
E l'italia era come gran parte d'europa
And Italy was like much of Europe
Diventato come un regime salutista
Become like a health-conscious regime
No no vecchio
No no dude
Un regime salutista, sul serio
A health-conscious regime, seriously
C'erano tipo le ronde della salute
There were like health patrols
Sì, gruppi di persone
Yes, groups of people
Energumeni pompatissimi
Extremely pumped-up brutes
Rasati a zero
Shaved bald
Vestiti di bianco
Dressed in white
Rigorosamente di bianco
Strictly in white
Che, che immobilizzavano a terra, con mosse di wrestling
Who, who immobilized on the ground, with wrestling moves
Chi veniva sorpreso al parco a fumare
Whoever was caught smoking in the park
Si ma mica le canne
Yeah but not weed
Ceh, arrestavano chi fumava una siga, capito?
I mean, they arrested whoever smoked a cigarette, got it?
Ceh una sigaretta, cazzo
I mean a cigarette, f*ck
Questi facevano irruzione nei locali
These guys raided establishments
C'erano tipo dei ristoranti clandestini
There were like clandestine restaurants
Dov'era ancora possibile ordinare una bistecca
Where it was still possible to order a steak
O anche solo due uova all'occhio di bue
Or even just two fried eggs
E questi della ronda entravano sfondando le porte
And these patrol guys came in breaking down doors
Prelevando con la forza tutte, tutte le persone
Forcibly taking all, all the people
Ai tavoli, i camerieri ma soprattutto i cuochi
At the tables, the waiters but especially the cooks
Ma poi con storie di processi per direttissima
But then with stories of fast-track trials
Pene da pochi mesi ad anni di reclusione
Sentences from a few months to years of imprisonment
Pensa che uno si era preso l'ergastolo
Think that one guy got life imprisonment
Per aver importato due big mac dall'estero
For having imported two Big Macs from abroad
Due!
Two!
Ceh, però pensa, ascolta, nelle discoteche
I mean, but think, listen, in nightclubs
Ai circoli, ai concerti, insomma
At clubs, at concerts, in short
Non si vendeva più l'alcol
Alcohol was no longer sold
No no
No no
No, solo bottigliette d'acqua
No, only water bottles
Ma già con l'md dentro, vecchio
But already with MDMA inside, dude
E la cocaina per uso personale? era legale
And cocaine for personal use? it was legal
Ceh fino a quattro pezzi te li potevi portare
I mean up to four pieces you could carry them
E, se non sbaglio, il presidente della camera
And, if I'm not mistaken, the Speaker of the House
Era un bulldog francese
Was a French bulldog
Giuro vecchio, un bulldog francese
I swear dude, a French bulldog
Si chiamava roger, se non sbaglio
His name was... Roger, if I'm not mistaken
Did you like this lyrics translation?
salutista — health-conscious / health-obsessed
Salutista describes someone who is health-conscious or even health-obsessed. It's a less common word than simply saying "healthy" (sano) and carries a stronger connotation of a lifestyle or ideology centered around health.
In the song, Willie Peyote uses it to describe a dystopian future Italy under a "regime salutista" (health-obsessed regime). This word is key to understanding the satirical and critical tone of the lyrics, where extreme health regulations lead to absurd and oppressive situations.
