Paroles et traduction Almamegretta - Bum Bum

Bum Bum

Ma addo' sta' 'a felicità
è asciuta 'na lenza 'e sole eppure 'o munno fa bum bum
Je sparo a te, tu spare a me, m'aggio jucato 'na bulletta pe' nun ce pensa'
Stute 'a televisione, manneme tre messaggi, ajzeme nu poco 'a terra
Quanti guagliune se fanno zumpa' 'e n'aria
Sta cantanno nu muezzin mmiezo 'a ferrovia, areto Damasco
'A Siria è luntana, le brucia 'o fronte, 'o munno fa bum bum
'A zia Titina ha miso a fa' 'o ragù ma Eduardo nun ce abbasta cchiù

'A storia se ripete, 'o munno fa bum bum
'A storia se ripete

'O Medio Oriente sta 'ncazzato, 'o zio Totore s'è 'nzamato
'O fuoco appiccia pure 'e pensieri eppure je vulesse sape' addo' sta' 'a felicità?
'A Russia nun me da' 'o gas, a machina nun parte, si passe'sta vernata 'o core s'è gelato
Arrivano gli immigrati, nun porteno 'a moneta, teneno famme peggio 'e me,
Nu panino cu 'o Kebab, 'a striscia 'e Gaza nun trove pace
E intanto 'a zia Titina pure stamattina se fa 'a croce

'A storia se ripete, 'o munno fa bum bum
'A storia se ripete, 'o munno fa bum bum, 'a storia se ripete

'E libri l'avimmo chiuse e comme se adda' fa?
Anema nera anema sporca, anema accisa te sta chiuvenno 'capo eppure nun t'arrepare
Je stongo a sotto, tu stive a coppo, steve primm'io no ce stev'io, lieve 'e mmane,
Miette 'e mmane, saglie ca' se mange, 'a zia ha vuttato 'a pasta, 'o munno tene famme,
So' carne e maccarune, ma addo' sta' 'a felicità?

'A storia se ripete, 'o munno fa bum bum

Tu te sballi, je m'accido, 'o medioriente s'arruvina, l'Imam parla 'e civiltà
Aggio perzo 'o totocalcio, nun saccio chello che aggio fa'
'A zia Titina ha cacciato 'e paste ma nisciune ride cchiù
L'Afghanistan sta tutto fatto, 'o Kossovo è scuppiato, comme so' brutte 'sti pensieri

'A storia se ripete, 'o munno fa bum bum
'O munno fa bum bum

Bum Bum

But where is happiness?
The sun has come out, yet the world goes "boom boom".
You shoot me, I shoot you, I've fired a bullet to stop thinking about it.
Get off the television, send me three messages, lift me a little off the ground.
How many boys have jumped in the air?
A muezzin is singing in the middle of the railway, behind Damascus.
Syria is far away, their foreheads are burning, the world goes "boom boom".
Aunt Titina has put on the stew, but Eduardo is no longer satisfied with that.

History repeats itself, the world goes "boom boom".
History repeats itself.

The Middle East is angry, Uncle Totore has gotten angry.
The fire ignites even the thoughts, yet I wish I knew where happiness is.
Russia is not giving me gas, the car won't start, pass this winter, my heart has frozen.
The immigrants are coming, they don't bring money, they are hungry worse than me.
A bread with kebab, the Gaza Strip finds no peace.
And meanwhile, Aunt Titina makes the sign of the cross even this morning.

History repeats itself, the world goes "boom boom".
History repeats itself, the world goes "boom boom", history repeats itself.

We have closed the books and what should we do?
Black soul, dirty soul, you are crying killed soul, yet you don't get angry.
I'm down below, you are up above, I was first, I didn't exist, take your hands off.
Take your hands off, come on, we'll eat, Aunt has thrown the pasta, the world is hungry.
I am meat and macaroni, but where is happiness?

History repeats itself, the world goes "boom boom".

You get high, I kill myself, the Middle East is ruined, the Imam talks of civilization.
I lost the football pools, I don't know what to do.
Aunt Titina has cooked the pasta but no one laughs anymore.
Afghanistan is all done, Kosovo has exploded, how ugly these thoughts are.

History repeats itself, the world goes "boom boom".
The world goes "boom boom".
