Paroles et traduction Marti Stone - X3

X3

Sogna con i pugni chiusi e le braccia aperte
Si fa bella con le amiche, non lo fa per te
Corre nelle scarpe nuove controcorrente
Sa che è una ma per vincere lei dovrà farlo per tre

Nessuno ha mai saputo dirle perché
Brilliamo e loro ci vogliono spente
Accese solo sotto le coperte
Con gli occhi fuori e la labbra coperte

Merito un posto decente, non morirò dentro a un call center
Non resteremo in silenzio per sempre, chi tace acconsente
Tu dici stronza, io esigente, voglio una donna presidente
Voglio una donna resiliente, non una che non pesi niente

Selfie come marionette, fighe solo se trend-setter
Schiavitù senza manette, farò un falò di iPhone 7
Non sento chi si permette di dirmi "ma come ti vesti?"
Non sarò quella che mette la sua autostima dentro a un hashtag

You can't tell me how to live, shout it out loud
Give me the space I need to breathe
Making my own choices, let me hear your voices raising up
Don't let 'em let you down

Cos'è un gioco per bambine? Aspirante cameriera
Il mio gioco da bambina? Fare la donna in carriera

Mi chiamavano maschiaccio, ma io una donna non la schiaccio
Se mi molli scrivo una canzone giuro non farei una strage
Se mi uccidi per amore dimmi allora per amore di chi?
Se una donna veste nero non dirmi che è amore di dio

You can't tell me how to live, shout it out loud
Give me the space I need to breathe
Making my own choices, let me hear your voices raising up
Don't let 'em let you down

Don't let 'em let you down
Don't let 'em let you down
Don't let 'em let you down
Don't let 'em let you down

Sogna con i pugni chiusi e le braccia aperte
Si fa bella con le amiche, non lo fa per te
Corre nelle scarpe nuove controcorrente
Sa che è una ma per vincere lei dovrà farlo per tre

X3

Close your fists and open your arms to dream
She adorns herself with her friends, she does not do it for you
She runs against the current in her new shoes
She knows she is one, but to win, she must do it three times

No one has ever been able to tell her why
We shine and they want us extinguished
Lit only under the covers
With eyes wide and lips covered

I deserve a decent position, I will not die in a call center
We will not remain silent forever, silence is consent
You call me a bitch, I am demanding, I want a woman president
I want a resilient woman, not one who weighs nothing

Selfies like puppets, cool only if we are trendsetters
Slavery without handcuffs, I will make a bonfire of iPhone 7s
I ignore those who dare to tell me "how do you dress?"
I will not be the one who puts her self-esteem in a hashtag

You can't tell me how to live, shout it out loud
Give me the space I need to breathe
Making my own choices, let me hear your voices raising up
Don't let them let you down

What's a game for girls? An aspiring waitress
My childhood game? To become a career woman

They called me a tomboy, but I will not crush a woman
If you leave me, I will write a song, I swear I will not go on a rampage
If you kill me for love, tell me then for the love of whom?
If a woman wears black, do not tell me that it is the love of God

You can't tell me how to live, shout it out loud
Give me the space I need to breathe
Making my own choices, let me hear your voices raising up
Don't let them let you down

Don't let them let you down
Don't let them let you down
Don't let them let you down
Don't let them let you down

Close your fists and open your arms to dream
She adorns herself with her friends, she does not do it for you
She runs against the current in her new shoes
She knows she is one, but to win, she must do it three times
