Futuro [English translation]

Before you wanted me and then you wanted me dead

My world is Hell, if you want I'll take you there

Here the kids are playing Gomorrah

And the parents to gun each others

Every Saturday night in the square sitting on the ground

Some friends are far away and some are in a barracks

And you left me because being close to me kills you

I keep the blood that our wounds have lost

The bus does not pass, Rome is a cage

I would like to talk to you, but I see you distracted

My mother who no longer looks me in the face

I lie down on a sidewalk and hope it'd be sand

At the school occupation we all felt a bit at home

Basically we are a generational cut

We are made of water and now there is a storm

And the future scares us more than anything else

And the end scares us more than anything else

Failure scares us because the winners

Are the only ones who will write history

And don't tell me to calm down, it doesn't work

The problem with children is not drugs

Don't expect me to bring you a rose

I bring you my heart in half and my blood dripping

Television does not transmit values

We grew up with the beatings at demonstrations

And my cultural background was not filled by the school

I saw you in the Orientale1 crying alone

If I think about you too much I think of '682

Dressed in a bit of nothing, with ghosts over you

I would like to reflect myself in some painting that I do not know

But then I know myself

And we are tramps and dragonflies, but on the road

A stray dog ​​at the Magliana3 intersection

Time that in the end has never changed you

I don't see you around anymore, you tell me where you went

And your house is a madhouse, it feels like home

And if I don't answer you, don't give me another call

You spent hours in trains for a downtown Saturday

And you were a dream, but I woke up in a cold sweat

And the future scares us more than anything else

And the end scares us more than anything else

Failure scares us because the winners

Are the only ones who will write history

And don't tell me to calm down, it doesn't work

The problem with children is not drugs

Don't expect me to bring you a rose

I bring you my heart in half and my blood dripping

1. It is probably a reference to a specific shop or more generally to an area of east Rome 2. The 1968 movement in Italy or "Sessantotto" was inspired by distaste for traditional Italian society and international protests. The Battle of Valle Giulia at Rome University on 1 March 1968 was the last action in which students left and right-wing were together, because on 16 March following the assault on the University La Sapienza, there was a gap between "movementists" and reactionaries.3. The Magliana (Italian pronunciation: [maʎˈʎaːna]) is an urban zone of Rome , known as 15E of Municipio XI of Rome. The neighborhood became particularly infamous from the late '70s onwards due to the high levels of crime, particularly due to the presence of the Banda della Magliana, a Roman Mafia-like organization which at one point took control of most of the city's criminal activities, and was so named by the press because many of its original members hailed from the Magliana neighborhood.
