San [English translation]

[Verse 1]

I'm in the first Mario

Every time I think I beat the game, it starts over

Faster, harder

I'm supposed to be wiser, I must've picked the wrong timeline

I wanna recapture the magic of the beginning

Nothing works when your heart's no longer in it

It hurts my pride, it's hard to admit

But I've never been so lost

The world is a betting parlor

Where everyone gives their misguided opinion

Where the TV airs news we've already seen before

While the radio plays songs no one listens to anymore

I try to clean house, between the pedantic snobs

And the uncivilized Mongols, I don't know where to click anymore

I try to do features to stay relevant

Without turning into my own reality TV show

I don't wanna stay frozen, trapped

In my own character like a hostage situation at Disneyland

Age poorly like an old punk

When you think you're Bart but you're Mr. Burns

I'm not at home in the capital

I keep writing about a city I don't live in

I try to be a good guy but I'm pretty average

I think I'm might just be an evil genius

I'm nostalgic for my old demons

King of lies, slave in the real world

On alert at every second

If I leave it alone, my spirit will wander into the darkness

I thought about waking one morning and being a man

Confident that the life I've chosen was the right one

Reliable, having built something stable

I'm just a little brat on a sand castle

Tired of making big sacrifices

For little glory

Without even knowing how to savor success

My nights are sleepless, my thoughts are dark

It's like every time I've stopped drinking

And my days are just hangovers

Why do you wanna put a baby in my arms?

I already have trouble just taking care of myself

I try to be decent, to make choices

To make everyone happy

Family, friends, family friends

Friends' families, friends of friends

Entertain an audience that doesn't know me

No matter what they think, I'm always on the verge

Of collapse, on the verge of losing it

Don't be surprised if you pass by me in the street wearing pajamas

[Interlude]

But I won't give up

I won't give up, I won't give up

I won't give up

[Verse 2]

I can't run away anymore

My brother has two kids, I wanna see them grow up

I don't wanna pretend anymore, don't wanna lie anymore

I'm already crazy, might as well stay in the delusion, huh

I'll be the one cracking a joke before dying

The one leaving in a fit of laughter, huh

I wanna leave my own mark

Not make money by following trends, huh

The times change, the people change

But I get bored easily, I like change

I was already different

And I will be until the end of time, fast life, slow guy

Before, I was scared to not be normal

But when I see normal people, I'm proud to not be normal

The world is venomous, my brain is getting tangled

I'm getting used to the idea that I'll never get better

I wanted to write for the haters but I'll do them one better

Write for those who like me, them

It's always for my city when I bring the fire

I have the rest of my life to be old

What happened to the idols of my youth?

Either dead or parodies of themselves

I never wanna end up like that

Back to the Future, I don't wanna miss the third one

I wanna make homicidal love songs

That push single people to suicide

I liked rap before the hype gentrified it

Vodka, Doliprane, now I wait

I've said, "I love you" to bitches that didn't deserve it

I've never said, "I love you" to my mom

I don't wanna back down anymore

I'm barely at the end of the beginning of my career

I've made mistakes, I've done shady things

I've made rappers, I've had miscarriages

When I said, "We are the future," I was talking 'bout now

I was talking 'bout this moment, the future is now

I got all the flows, I'll never run dry

Ablaye and Skread, I'll never lose them

We started in a rental hall

We're gonna be what we always wanted to be

Shit, I'm coming with that gun kata

Young bastard, here I am again

Saitama, fatal punch

I write every line as if Michael could see them

I won't let mediocrity get me

I've seen enough sad bastards to believe in karma

Orelsan, part three

The last chapter of the saga

"San," that means "three"

"San," that means "mister"

San, I spent half my life to find out what I want

The party is over
