Domani Smetto [English translation]

They used to tell me - to stay still and quiet - They used to tell me - keep calm and mind your tongue - They used to tell me - not to talk while chewing and to walk with a straight back - not to wander off the point and follow the scheme otherwise to bed and no dinner - not to cause trouble because there's no reason - to be thankful for being born in that side of the world that is perfect after all, perfect, perfect, perfect like you... Letizia.

(scratch) This is a typical example of the vocality and gracefulness of the Italian-style singing. [2]

I'm not sure when it all started - all of a sudden I wouldn't obey the rules anymore - my dear, indeed it's as you say. - I'm not sure what was it that spoiled everything - it's that I started saying 'No' too many times - perhaps that's why you left me - and I won't suffer for it, not a bit.

Refrain: I'm sorry, for the time being I won't think this is a perfect world - I'll give up tomorrow [1] - it's best if you call back tomorrow.

They used to tell me - to keep following the tracks - They used to tell me - stick to the time schedule - They used to tell me - to keep my feet on the ground - They used to tell me - this is a just war.

Refrain: I'm sorry, for the time being I won't think this is a perfect world - I'll give up tomorrow - I even left the toilet seat up - I'll give up tomorrow - And I travel too much without having the ticket - I'll give up tomorrow - It's best if you call back tomorrow.

They used to tell me - don't walk on the grass - They used to tell me - don't grow your grass [3] - They used to tell me - can't you dress properly - and my hair was either too long or too short - and I won't wear the certified helmet - my identity won't go on a diet - I bathed after a meal - and I'm still all wet.

Refrain: I'm sorry, for the time being I won't think this is a perfect world - I'll give up tomorrow - I even left the toilet seat up - I'll give up tomorrow - And I travel too much without having the ticket - I'll give up tomorrow - It's best if you call back tomorrow.
