Bene ma non benissimo [English translation]

Ssshade

Press play, no, press pause

Life is now, life is nausea

Today, my head is getting me confused

I get back home at 3 am, but it's the wrong house

They ask me: "Sorry, how is it going?

Are you going on vacation?", it's hard

Bro, this girl is so annoying1

That she sends a photo and I've run out of data

I've been to this party for one hour

There are so many drugs here

That they didn't put drug in my glass,

They put my glass in the drug

I look for a job, but I went to an artistic school2

Good, but not good enough

She says: "you're very ugly3, but very nice"

Good, but not good enough

While I was saving the progress, my computer refreshed

Good, but not good enough

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I,

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

She says she's going on a mystical trip

Then she sleeps with the entire resort

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I,

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I go out in the summertime, it's hot, super hot

I do anxiety competitively

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I

They used to tell me to be careful

But I didn't listen, I replied: "I can't hear"

This girl has kind of an accent

Even the interpreter asks me: "what did she say?"

And if you don't reply and if you don't move4

I don't know how I might react

You send me to hell, too many sinners

I queue, but I cannot get inside

She would like to go out together one evening

Go having dinner, then who knows what might happen

But she's always making a scene,

So who fucking cares?5 I'm the top-goal scorer

I don't go out with good people

I only go out with people to drink

I look for a job, but I went to an artistic school2

Good, but not good enough

She says: "you're very ugly3, but very nice"

Good, but not good enough

On her profile she says: "have a super good morning"6

Good, but not good enough

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I,

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

She says she's going on a mystical trip

Then she sleeps with the entire resort

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I,

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I go out in the summertime, it's hot, super hot

I do anxiety competitively

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I

I have to be honest with you

You could have refrained

From saying: "you're worthless"

Without even looking at me, I'm honest

I'm neither a glass half-empty person nor a glass half-full one

It's always completely empty, even if I'm not a teetotaller

Be happy, tell it to the sky7, this is the truth

If you ask me how am I

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I,

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

She says she's going on a mystical trip

Then she sleeps with the entire resort

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I,

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I'm fine, fine, fine, fine

But not fine enough

I go out in the summertime, it's hot, super hot

I do anxiety competitively

I say "fine", but

If you ask me how am I

1. Lit. "heavy", which in Italian is used for file size, hence the reference to the data: she sends so many photos that he ends up running out of data.2. a. b. in Italy, secondary school is divided into "medie" (11-13 years old) and "superiori" (14-18 years old). "Superiori" are divided into "professionali" (vocational kind of schools) and "licei", which are then divided into fields: that's what "artistic school" refers to.3. a. b. slang word which primarily refers to a loo, but if used to describe a person, means very ugly.4. "ti muovi" might also stand for "hurry up", but the context is not clear. I interpreted it as the girl who's not replying in any way, neither verbally nor through gestures or any kind of movement.5. "cazzo mene" is a slang phrase, which comes from "(non) me ne (frega un) cazzo".6. "buongiornissimo" is a cheesy way of saying good morning. It's considered ridiculous and it's mainly used on the internet, never in real life.7. "sereno" literally means "happy" or "calm". The phrase "cielo sereno" means "clear sky".
