Lyrics of Cover - Caparezza

Cover (original)

In principio era il verbo, gerundio, Innuendo
Il giocoliere dei pianeti in pieno allenamento
Creò la terra fragile come quella degli Yes
Leggenda come Bob nel Very Best
Poi l’uomo e la donna nudi, two virgins
Nove mesi e l’ostetrica «su spingi»
Dal piacere sconosciuto e condiviso
Il mio cuore pulsa come la pulsar dei Joy Division
Il parto nella piscina è andato bene, sai
Ci ho trovato pure il dollaro di Nevermind
Per i fumetti il primo dei miei tragitti
Signora Janis mi dia le strips di Cheap Thrills
In classe mangio una banana che mi dà
Quindici minuti di notorietà: Underground, Velvet
Foto di gruppo ma non vedrai rappers
La mia scuola si chiama Sergeant Pepper’s
Cover
I was born and I grew up
I was dead under the cover
I raise my head and I realize
That all my life was on a cover
Crescere diventa una tortura come col voodoo
Ho gli occhi del ragazzino di War U2
Meno sognanti, più disillusi, più tristi
Il mondo mi dà le spalle come Bruce Springsteen
Paura del buio che non cede
Demoni sugli alberi come gli Iron Maiden
Nella dannata adolescenza che ora mi dipinge
Come un cazzone con i jeans, Sticky Fingers
Tutto ciò che so
È che bramo il microfono dell’Eminem Show
Suonare musica per le masse
Da casse rosse come quelle dei Depeche Mode
Fare concerti così fighi che li rivedrei
Tra rock e circo Doors Strange Days
Hot Rats, capelli ricci, da dove sbuchi?
Non lo so ma sono esploso, Green Day Dookie
Cover
I was born and I grew up
I was dead under the cover
I raise my head and I realize
That all my life was on a cover
Cover
Cover over me
Gli adulti sono grassi e malinconici
Spesso prendono granchi più dei Prodigy
Ma io mi spezzerei la schiena in ogni kermesse
Pur di fare un passo avanti come i Madness
Ho un bel sound, ma poi lo perdo
E passo l’estate a dar da mangiare alle capre Pet Sounds
Infelice mi imbarco in uno di questi boeing
Che si schianterà pilotato dai Beastie Boys
E infatti perde quota e qui rischio
L’espressione è il primo disco dei King Crimson
Mi metto a pregare
Ma dall'84 il mio angelo è fuori a fumare con i Van Halen
Casomai mi cercaste
Sono tra le carcasse di Master Of Puppets
Come uno spettro veglierò su di voi
Dalla faccia oscura della luna dei Pink Floyd
Cover
I was born and I grew up
I was dead under the cover
I raise my head and I realize
That all my life was on a cover
Cover
Cover over me

(translation)

In the beginning was the verb, gerund, Innuendo
The juggler of the planets in full training
He created the earth as fragile as that of Yes
Legend like Bob in the Very Best
Then the naked man and woman, two virgins
Nine months and the midwife "on push"
From unknown and shared pleasure
My heart beats like the Joy Division pulsar
The birth in the pool went well, you know
I also found the Nevermind dollar there
For comics, the first of my journeys
Mrs. Janis give me the Cheap Thrills strips
In class I eat a banana that he gives me
Fifteen minutes of fame: Underground, Velvet
Group photo but you won't see rappers
My school is called Sergeant Pepper's
Cover
I was born and I grew up
I was dead under the cover
I raise my head and I realize
That all my life was on a cover
Growing up becomes torture like voodoo
I have the eyes of the little boy from War U2
Less dreamy, more disillusioned, sadder
The world has its back to me like Bruce Springsteen
Fear of the dark that does not yield
Demons in the trees like the Iron Maiden
In the damned adolescence that now paints me
Like a dick in jeans, Sticky Fingers
All I know
It's just that I crave the microphone of the Eminem Show
Playing music for the masses
From red coffers like those of Depeche Mode
Doing gigs that are so cool I would see them again
Between rock and circus Doors Strange Days
Hot Rats, curly hair, where do you come from?
I don't know but I blew up, Green Day Dookie
Cover
I was born and I grew up
I was dead under the cover
I raise my head and I realize
That all my life was on a cover
Cover
Cover over me
Adults are fat and melancholy
They often catch more crabs than Prodigies
But I would break my back at any event
To take a step forward like Madness
I have a nice sound, but then I lose it
And I spend the summer feeding Pet Sounds goats
Unhappy I board one of these boeings
Which will crash piloted by the Beastie Boys
And in fact it loses altitude and here I risk
Expression is King Crimson's first album
I start praying
But since 1984 my angel has been out smoking with the Van Halens
In case you were looking for me
They are among the carcasses of Master Of Puppets
Like a ghost I will watch over you
From the dark face of the Pink Floyd moon
Cover
I was born and I grew up
I was dead under the cover
I raise my head and I realize
That all my life was on a cover
Cover
Cover over me
