Deca Dance [English translation]

Italy calls, J-ax answers.... Power!

It pumps it up and it doesn't hurt

It pumps it up and it doesn't hurt

It pumps it up and it doesn't hurt

It pumps it up and it doesn't hurt

I've been born Italian but

I switched my name from Alessandro to J-Ax

In the Eighties I believed that in the present days we would fly around with jetpacks

And now I'm stuck and I'm producing solphates in the city traffic

during the Nineties I was thinking that world wouldn't have changed just listening to 2Pac

Lonely in Riccione in summer, with empty pockets outside the Acquafan #(popular water park set in Riccione)

During the years when there was the Cyndi Lauper song: "Girls just want to have fun"

So, this is me then... no, I'm no perfection

Me, who when I want to dance I want only Mauro Repetto's stuff #(Former member of the pop band 883)

I learned anarchy from Ken and Raul

and philosophy watching Animal House

I dance this Deca Dance

carrying the best things in me

I'm Bruno Sacchi wearing a Moncler jacket

I'm Jovanotti for president

(Gimme five! Gimme five! All right")

I was born Italian, but I'm used to the mistrust of fellow italians

I found myself prejudiced: pre: -nonEu citizen

To tell the truth I wasn't even tattoed, I was forced to leave my hair short

to fear the powerful and the rich

dad was just like Ugo Fantozzi

He would take us to the lakeside, the unexpensive house, beneath the clouds for the working class

And now that lake is restricted, it's too polluted

but the doctor prescribed a bit of fresh air

(I) would bathe in trash

(I) I'm the middle class and its innocence

(I) I'm Diego Abatantuono shouting "Violeeeeeeeeeeeeence"

I dance this deca dance

and I carry the best things inside me

I'm bruno sacchi weraring the Moncler jacket

I'm the songs from the 883 band

(In the night)

I dance this deca dance

and I carry the best things inside me

Ok, it's just another decade

and a decade with another

I was born italian and we cant' believe that 2010 is just around the corner

Do you ever stop and think that in Barberino there's a traffic jam so long that you'd better go on foot?

Do you ever stop and think that once nurse clogs were in?

Do you ever stop and consider that they're gonna film a sequel of Beverly Hills 90210

Brenda has been keeping her face in the freezer since then

When she smiles she uncovers her teeth gums

and I was convinced that both George Micheal an Michael Jackson had lots of chicks around

I'm the calippo fizz (popular icicle brand) Licia and the Bee Hives

I'm Drive In and Non è la Rai

I'm the Dee Jay Time and the Sega Mega Drive

(this is the rhytm of the night)

(and I dance, dance, dance)

I dance this Deca Dance

carrying the best things in me

I'm Bruno Sacchi wearing a Moncler jacket

I'm Lino Banfi and Edwige Fenech

(it pomps up and it doesn't hurt)

I dance this deca dance

and I carry the best things inside me

Ok, it's just another decade

and a decade with another
