Curre curre guaglió [English translation]

Two two - nine - one nine nine one

A day like many others but certainly not for someone

someone who for days months years has been fighting

against whom out of this state a cage is making

repressing listen what I say repressing

who alone denounces and fights these stinkers

and who knows well what marginalization means

exactly what it costs to love a community centre

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Listen to these words of hatred and even of love

You're a snap of handcuffs tight on the wrists inside a sweat Box2, my boy

It makes more noise in your heart than an election rally, my boy

You are a satisfied need, you are sure you can't be wrong, my boy

A nice jacket is worth more than a cell phone, my boy

Then this is the time and you have to get through it

Whether you like it or you want to complain about it, it's time to occupy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

You can live a whole life as a border cop

in a neutral country, years wasted waiting

something, someone, fate or, why not, your death

but the tranquillity so much care to find it

yes the stability an honest stay afloat

is such fragile my boy

is such fragile my boy

maybe a junkie dying right under your balcony

perhaps an unexpected increase in rent

maybe you get fired by your boss

maybe a cop that laughs in your face

I don't know I don't know where that heat is born

but I know it burns, blazes and trembles

transform your life no you can't explain it

some kind of apparent illogicality

it makes you live a life that for others is absurd

but you do the right thing that heat told you

it burns in your chest it's hate driven by love

by love my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

A lot of blows taken

A lot of blows taken

Lots of blows, yeah, lots of blows

So many blows taken

A lot of blows taken

A lot of blows taken

Lots of blows, yeah, lots of blows

but we managed to give at least one good blow

it's born it's born it's born

another occupied social centre

another occupied social centre

and now the fuck you'll kick us out

it's born it's born it's born

another occupied social centre

another occupied social centre

and now the fuck you'll kick us out

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Why do you put the bombs first and then you want to blame me

And you put your hands on me if I ask you why

mom forced to see the cops in her house

and a popular space is not good because

because it is counter-cultural, or maybe because

pisses off too many people, okay but then why

you can piss me off and I can't do the same

it makes me very angry and I know why

because it pisses me off even to just see you

let alone hear what you have to say

40 years of power bullshit because

because people are hungry and they let themselves be fooled by you

and you send me the guard that clears me out

but the truncheon is not enough now I warn you

because you don't hurt me anymore, I learned to fall

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy

Run run, my boy
