PARTICOLARI SPORCHI English Translation Lyrics by Tony Effe
Blood on the banknotes, I seek a God who protects me
This life doesn’t satisfy me, I’m a wolf among the flock
I take giant steps, but it seems like I’m going backwards
I want a girl by my side who waits awake in bed
I used to go down to the field wearing Francesco’s jersey
And a Super Santos ball, mom says, “Come back soon”
I feel a big void inside, this is the price of success
I should smile more, but I can’t do it
Today my friend is an enemy, scars on my face
I have everything, but I’ve lost everything, I don’t know who to trust anymore
An arm taken by a finger, three years taken by a kilo
The sky is getting grayer, I wish I could be a child again
There’s only you with that road ahead
One shot to calm me down and another to vent, yeah
All that money you run for
Do you really deserve it, it’s dirty cash
Just you and that house in the city
With the ugliest risks when that kilo doesn’t go well
Dirty details, you’re infamous, it shows in your eyes
No fear, you run, you run
But I’m still here, in the midst of those alleys
Full of insecurities, but deep down, this is my home
When I dream, I still see the police cars
When I return to the square, I can’t leave anymore
I feel the weight on my shoulders, fifteen years in the balls
Tattoos on the skin answer the questions
What I said, I did, what I do, I admit
I disappointed my mother even though she never told me, ah
I try to smile, but my eyes are always dull
I scream louder and louder, even though I know you can’t hear me
I don’t look back because I know you’re looking for me
You disappear in the bad times and come back in the good ones
Today my friend is an enemy, scars on my face
I have everything, but I’ve lost everything, I don’t know who to trust anymore
An arm taken by a finger, three years taken by a kilo
The sky is getting grayer, I wish I could be a child again
There’s only you with that road ahead
One shot to calm me down and another to vent, yeah
All that money you run for
Do you really deserve it, it’s dirty cash
Just you and that house in the city
With the ugliest risks when that kilo doesn’t go well
Dirty details, you’re infamous, it shows in your eyes
No fear, you run, you run
