Translation of the song lyrics Generation - Marco Masini

Generation (original)

Cinquemila giorni fa
Spaccavamo la città
Ripetendo come una poesia
«Oggi cambio il mondo e così sia!»
Generation my tristescion!
Le tue mani nelle mie
Correvamo dietro a quelle nostre idee
Masticando sogni e amori a metà
Come i corsi all’università
Generation my delusion!
Non devi credere
Che è stato inutile
Sentirsi innamorati eroi
Di un mondo marginale
Gridare rabbia in faccia
A questo eterno show
Anche se oggi no non si può
Perché gli ultimi non esistono
Ma è la vita che con un ciao
Poi ti lascia a piedi come Charlie Brown
E ti perdi nell’imbecillità
Che ha prodotto la politica
Sputtanescion par-condition
E ti arrendi anche tu
E tuo figlio segue ormai la sua tribù
Ma quei suoi occhi azzurri gridano già
A questo mondo senza l’anima
Evolution no bombescion
Lasciagli credere
Che si può vivere
Con la vergogna che hai di te
E delle tue illusioni
Che si potrà sognare fino all’ultimo
Anche se tu lo sai… io lo so…
Che le favole non esistono
Ma i miracoli forse accadono!!!
Here we go everyday it’s the same situation
Trouble.problems is all that we get
We need a change world to breath new life
So i’ll kids can see brighter days
As one we can march if it’s comin' from your heart
From the past to the present to the future see the sun
As a boy growin' up in the south south bronx
It was fun and games, but guns and pain
So I kiss my mother and I hugg my brother
Strenght and Unity and Love Community
Strenght and Unity and Love Community
Strenght and Unity and Love Community
Hand to hand united we stand
People of the planet let’s shout it out
Strenght and Unity and Love Community
Let’s make this place a home…

Generation (translation)

Five thousand days ago
We split the city
Repeating like a poem
"Today I change the world and so be it!"
Generation my tristescion!
Your hands in mine
We ran after those ideas of ours
Chewing on dreams and half-hearted loves
Like the courses at the university
Generation my delusion!
You don't have to believe
That was useless
Feeling in love as heroes
Of a marginal world
Shouting anger in your face
To this eternal show
Even if not today it is not possible
Because the last ones don't exist
But that's life with a hello
Then he drops you off like Charlie Brown
And you get lost in imbecility
Which produced politics
Sputtanescion par-condition
And you give up too
And your son now follows his tribe
But those blue eyes of his are already screaming
To this world without a soul
Evolution no bombescion
Let him believe
That you can live
With the shame you have of yourself
And of your illusions
That you can dream up to the last
Even if you know it ... I know it ...
That fairy tales don't exist
But maybe miracles do happen !!!
Here we go everyday it's the same situation
Trouble.problems is all that we get
We need a change world to breath new life
So i’ll kids can see brighter days
As one we can march if it's comin 'from your heart
From the past to the present to the future see the sun
As a boy growin 'up in the south south bronx
It was fun and games, but guns and pain
So I kiss my mother and I hugg my brother
Strength and Unity and Love Community
Strength and Unity and Love Community
Strength and Unity and Love Community
Hand to hand united we stand
People of the planet let’s shout it out
Strength and Unity and Love Community
Let's make this place a home ...
