Translation of the song Resto a Sud artist Cristina Russo
Resto a Sud
I stay in the South
Quando cerco dentro me
When I search inside of me
Trovo cose nuove
I find new things
Non importa che dirà
It doesn't matter what
Il perbenismo della mia gente
my people's self-righteousness will say
This is the right time to stop
This is the right time to stop
The chain of fools
The chain of fools
This is the right time
This is the right time
Ed io resto a Sud
And I stay in the South
Everything is changing now
Everything is changing now
Ma io non cambio proprio mai
But I never ever change
Sbagliato o giusto
Wrong or right
Servirà pensare
One needs to think
Se si segue solo
If one only follows
Il giudizio universale
The common opinion
This is the right time to stop
This is the right time to stop
The chain of fools
The chain of fools
This is the right time
This is the right time
Ed io resto a Sud
And I stay in the South
This is the right time to stop
This is the right time to stop
The chain of fools
The chain of fools
This is the right time
This is the right time
Ed io resto a Sud
And I stay in the South
A modo tuo ti chiedi perdono
You ask for forgiveness to yourself in your own way
Se sbagli è perché sei solo un uomo
If you commit mistakes it's because you're just a man
Non c'è niente da eccitarsi o un frastuono
There's nothing to be excited for or a loud noise
E' solo che di notte se ti sbronzi sei molesto e non buono
It's just that at night if you get drunk you're annoying and not good
Taci
Shut up
Non è facile dici il vero
It's not easy, you're saying the truth
E' solo giunto al culmine credo
It has reached the peak, I suppose
Il vaso di Pandora non si riempie manco più
Pandora's box can't even be filled anymore
Nemmeno quasi fosse fatto di caldo oro nero
As if it's made of hot black gold
Chi dice l'ombelico del mondo
Some say it's the centre of the world
Ma lottiamo per non cadere a fondo
But we fight not to fall to the bottom
Non dimenticare che siamo anche un sogno
Don't forget we're a dream, too
Per molti, la salvezza dalla guerra
To many, a way out of war
Non siamo solamente un pezzetto di stivale
We aren't just a little piece of the boot
Che galleggia surreale e si dimena, con contegno nel profondo del blue mare
That floats, surreal, and tosses and turns at the bottom of the blue sea, obidiently
Il nostro vociare ti rassicurerà
Our clamour will reassure you
This is the right time to stop
This is the right time to stop
The chain of fools
The chain of fools
This is the right time
This is the right time
Ed io resto a Sud
And I stay in the South
This is the right time to stop
This is the right time to stop
The chain of fools
The chain of fools
This is the right time
This is the right time
Ma io so' nata a Sud
But I was born in the South
