Scatole

(original)
Mio padre ha sempre fatto il muratore
Odia chi si lamenta, chi sta zitto e gli ottimisti
Ha sempre poco tempo per l’amore
E tutte le altre cose inventate dai comunisti
Il suo diploma da geometra sta appeso in soffitta da vent’anni
In una teca polverosa
E da piccolo sognavo anch’io di avere
Una teca che dicesse che so fare qualche cosa, ye-yee
Lui avrebbe voluto che facessi gli studi d’architetto
Oppure da ingegnere
Ma io volevo fare il musicista
A suonare la chitarra passavo le mie sere
Ricordo un giorno mi prese da parte
Mi disse: «Non capisci proprio un cazzo della vita
Perché solo a chi si sporca le mani
È concesso il privilegio di avere una coscienza pulita»
Sì, ma io non sono come te
Di quello che sarò tu che ne sai
Sì, ma io non sono come te-e-e
Vedi di non dimenticarlo mai
Ed un po' come un testimone di Geova
Il mio futuro spesso suonava al campanello
Ed io non ci provai neanche ad aprire
Solo per diventare un ingegnere o un architetto
Io volevo far piangere la gente
E davanti a dei mattoni nessuno si commuove
Perché le case in fondo sono solo scatole
Dove la gente si rifugia quando fuori piove
E poi un giorno sono andato a Londra
Era per studiare musica all’università
E durante gli anni tra un esame e l’altro
Ho ripensato spesso alle parole di papà
Sì, ma io non sono come te
Di quello che sarò tu che ne sai
Sì, ma io non sono come te-e-e
Vedi di non dimenticarlo mai
E adesso anche io c’ho una soffitta
Ed un pezzo di carta in una teca pulita
E non faccio l’architetto o l’ingegnere
Mio padre in qualche modo ha accettato la mia vita
Gli dicevo: «Io non sono come te
Io sono diverso, io sono migliore»
Ma le canzoni in fondo sono solo scatole
Dove la gente si rifugia quando fuori piove
(translation)
My father has always been a bricklayer
He hates those who complain, those who shut up and the optimists
He always has little time for love
And all the other things invented by the Communists
His surveyor's diploma has been hanging in the attic for twenty years
In a dusty case
And as a child I also dreamed of having
A case that said I can do something, ye-yee
He would have liked me to study as an architect
Or as an engineer
But I wanted to be a musician
I spent my evenings playing the guitar
I remember one day he took me aside
He said to me, “You really don't understand a shit about life
Because only to those who get their hands dirty
The privilege of having a clear conscience is granted "
Yes, but I'm not like you
What do you know about what I will be
Yes, but I'm not like you-e-e
Make sure you never forget it
And a bit like one of Jehovah's Witnesses
My future often rang the bell
And I didn't even try to open
Just to become an engineer or architect
I wanted to make people cry
And in front of the bricks no one is moved
Because the houses are basically just boxes
Where people take refuge when it's raining outside
And then one day I went to London
It was to study music at university
And during the years between one exam and another
I have often thought about my father's words
Yes, but I'm not like you
What do you know about what I will be
Yes, but I'm not like you-e-e
Make sure you never forget it
And now I have an attic too
And a piece of paper in a clean case
And I'm not an architect or an engineer
My father somehow accepted my life
I told him: «I am not like you
I'm different, I'm better "
But the songs are basically just boxes
Where people take refuge when it's raining outside
