Repenti [English translation]

Spaghetti, tomato sauce

In the northern suburb of Dijon

I chose the diplomatic way

That saved me from going to jail

I've been hiding for twenty years

And I thought I'd live much less

The FBI carries out its mission

The protection of a witness

Repentant

I have betrayed

I could've broken stones

In Texas' penitentiary

But I finish myself off with beer

In a betting shop way less classy

Every night, they fill up my glass

And they laugh, they besmirch me

When I tell about the glass towers

My life in Little Italy

Repentant

I have betrayed

Mafioso to my fingertips

I've become the local drunkard

When my uncle's henchmen

Are looking for Two-Fisted-Tony

During the first months of my hideout

I thought my life would be the same

By recreating what is missing

Of my american Sicily

I've helped out a few acquaintances

In their neighbor disputes

A couple of gas soaked bodies

A few home accidents

Repentant

I have betrayed

Mafioso to my fingertips

I've become the local drunkard

When my uncle's henchmen

Are looking for Two-Fisted-Tony

My little neighbors, siblings

Would show me their school reports

I would meet their teachers

And remove a few teeth

But today, I am too old

I take care of my hydrangeas

It's weird, how they grow better

What on earth have I burried there ?

Repentant

I have betrayed

In the thickets, something's moving

I discern the shadow of a sniper

On my chest a red light

I was waiting for you, I'm no longer scared

Let me be laid down on my bed

On my heart, a hydrangea flower

I will see the Stromboli again

I will forget about the mafia

Repentant

I have betrayed

Repentant

I have betrayed
