Bella Figura, Bella Pitura [English translation]

There, beneath, into my brother's shoes,

To the place where fingers go,

Mother crinkles newspaper and puts it in

So I wouldn't lose them off my feet somewhere.

And you turn your head when mother tells you:

"It'll get better, we won't complain...

If you think you're born for something greater

Shitty shoes cannot make you smaller!"

Bella figura, bella pitura

How will you tell your mother?

"There's no use from it

Everyone went forward

Only we went backwards!"

There where your mother keeps the broomsticks

There is a hole hiding a secret,

Money she hides from herself

For bad times, and matches and tobacco

She needs tobacco to calm the nerves

And matches to light it.

Money is for you to take it

So you'd have something to be ashamed of for your whole life.

Bella figura, bella pitura

How will you tell your mother?

"There's no use from me

Everyone went forward

Only I went backwards!"

Bella figura, bella pitura

How will you tell your mother?

"There's no use from me

(everyone went forward)

Everyone went forward

Only I went backwards

Only I went backwards!"

For the first time you feel like a somebody

Under casino lights...

All your troubles are far enough now

And you just need a stroke of luck.

And before dawn, one dark kitchen,

One shadow waiting when you will open the door.

And she says: "My child, if you kill my hope

I'll have no place to hide away

I have no place to hide away!"

Bella figura, bella pitura

Mother would say:

"There's no use from that

Let other people go forward

You just come back to me!"

Bella figura, bella pitura

Mother would say:

"There's no use from that

Let other people go forward

You just come back to me

You just come back to me!"

You just come back to me...

I have no place to hide away...
