In periferia fa molto caldo
It’s really hot in the suburbs
Mamma stai tranquilla sto arrivando
Mom don’t worry I’m on my way
Te la prenderai per un bugiardo
You will get angry because of a liar
Ti sembrava amore ma era altro
It looked like love to you but it was something else
Beve champagne sotto Ramadan
He drinks champagne during Ramadan
Alla TV danno Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan is on the TV
Fuma narghilè mi chiede come va
He smokes a hookah, asks me how I’m doing
Mi chiede come va, come va, come va
He asks me how I’m doing doing doing
Sai già come va, come va, come va
You already know how I’m doing doing doing
Penso più veloce per capire se domani tu mi fregherai
I think faster to try and figure out if you’re going to fool me tomorrow
Non ho tempo per chiarire perché solo ora so cosa sei
I have no time to explain because now I finally know what you are
È difficile stare al mondo quando perdi l’orgoglio
It’s hard to be alive when you lose your pride
Lasci casa in un giorno
You leave home in a day
Tu dimmi se
You tell me if
Pensavi solo ai soldi, soldi
You only cared for the money, money
Come se avessi avuto soldi, soldi
As if I had any money, money
Dimmi se ti manco o te ne fotti, fotti
Tell me whether you miss me or you don’t give a fuck, fuck
Mi chiedevi come va, come va, come va
You used to ask me how I was doing doing doing
Adesso come va, come va, come va
How are things going going going now
Ciò che devi dire non l’hai detto
You haven’t told yet what you have to say
Tradire è una pallottola nel petto
Betrayal is like a bullet to the chest
Prendi tutta la tua carità
Take all your charity [back]
Menti a casa ma lo sai che lo sa
You keep lying at home but you know that she knows
Su una sedia lei mi chiederà
[Sitting] on a chair, she’ll ask me
Mi chiede come va, come va, come va
She asks me how I’m doing doing doing
Sai già come va, come va, come va
You already know how I’m doing doing doing
Penso più veloce per capire se domani tu mi fregherai
I think faster to try and figure out if you’re going to fool me tomorrow
Non ho tempo per chiarire perché solo ora so cosa sei
I have no time to explain because now I finally know what you are
È difficile stare al mondo
It’s hard to be alive when you lose your pride
Quando perdi l’orgoglio
You leave home in a day
Ho capito in un secondo
I figured it out in one second
Che tu da me
That you
Volevi solo soldi
Only wanted money from me
Come se avessi avuto soldi, soldi
As if I had any money, money
Prima mi parlavi fino a tardi, tardi
You would talk to me until late in the past
Mi chiedevi come va, come va, come va
You used to ask me how I was doing doing doing
Adesso come va, come va, come va
How are things going going going now
Waladi, waladi, habibi ta’aleena
Waladi, waladi, habibi ta’aleena
Mi dicevi giocando giocando con aria fiera
You used to tell me while playing with a proud expression
Waladi, waladi, habibi sembrava vera
Waladi, waladi, habibi it felt real
La voglia, la voglia di tornare come prima
The desire, the desire to go back to how things were before
Io da te non ho voluto soldi
I didn’t ask any money from you
È difficile stare al mondo
It’s hard to be alive
Quando perdi l’orgoglio
When you lose your pride
Lasci casa in un giorno
You leave home in a day
Tu dimmi se
You tell me if
Volevi solo soldi, soldi
You only wanted money, money
Come se avessi avuto soldi, soldi
As if I had any money, money
Lasci la città ma nessuno lo sa
You leave the city but nobody knows
Ieri eri qua ora dove sei, papà
Yesterday you were here, where are you now dad
Mi chiedi come va, come va, come va
You ask me how I’m doing doing doing
Sai già come va, come va, come va
You already know I’m doing doing doing
