La macchina del fango [English translation]

The show is starting in the place I'm trapped

In a dark yard where the time is

Revealing the disused truth

This is a ancient solution, but it's saving me this time

I pretend I'm not falling and I play your game to be save

While here we're going in disrepair

I'll sing of a great country, of guitars, of sea and stars

And I play the mud machine1

The quiz game which condemns to the slum

It's like the examination by who's mistreating me

I go away, I quickly avoid the bad omen

And I quickly play the wildcard of the mud machine

I pretend I'm not falling and I play your game to be save

While here we're going in disrepair

I'll sing of a great country, of guitars, of sea and starts

And I play the mud machine

Now that they believe I'm vilified

By the media that are crowded everyday by people

Who don't know that my wildcard is already dehydrated

I appeal to the blind audience and I ask for help at home2

I pretend I'm not falling and I play your game to be save

While here we're going in disrepair

I'll sing of a great country, of guitars, of sea and starts

And I play the mud machine

1. The "mud machine" is a Italian idiom (especially used in journalism) that indicates the power of the media to vilify someone. The mud machine works this way: someone collects information, which could be false, offensive or manipulated and than these are spread in order to damage someone.2. It's a reference to the fact that in some Italian quiz shows the competitor can ask for help the audience at home.
