Alta Marea

15 l'anne, cavere e 'o fridde ca te congelave 'e mmane
L'ultimo fiato 'e chi nun sape chi ce sta a scola dimane
Dint'a na classe c"a vista luntane guardanno 'e palazze 'e Scampia
Cumpagne pesano ancora 'stu futuro 'ncopp"a nu bilancino

Quindi cerco 'e me capì ca nun dico fessarie
Na criatura votta n'areoplano cu na frase acoppa, scrive "ti amo"
Nun c"a faccio a la tradì quanno alluccano 'o nomme mije
Tachicardia 'a notte vene a vote, cerco 'e nun durmì, eh
C"o vulesse fa' capì chi vulesse essere je
C'aggio mise troppo tiempo pe' nu pare 'e scarpe nove da fernì

C"o vulesse fa' capì ma [?]
Te vulesse fa' capì
Te vulesse fa' sulo capì
Te vulesse fa' capì
C"o vulesse fa' capì
Ma nun so' fatto pe' capì
Lloro nun so' fatto pe' capì
Lloro nun so' fatto pe' capì

Aggio iniziato chist'anno che pare Natale
Songo cchiù perplesso
Penso ca Babbo Natale me porte coccose 'e diverso lo stesso
C'aggio regalato 'a fiducia
'E frate' mije chiuso 'o buio dint"a na foresta
'O saccio bbuono ca nun rieste
Ma si rieste tu dimmello
Ma si rieste tu dimmello
'O saccio bbuono ca nun rieste
Ma si rieste tu dimmello

15 l'anne, cavere e 'o fridde ca te congelave 'e mmane
L'ultimo fiato 'e chi nun sape chi ce sta a scola dimane
Dint'a na classe c"a vista luntane guardanno 'e palazze 'e Scampia
Cumpagne pesano ancora 'stu futuro 'ncopp"a nu bilancino

High Tide

15 years old, paled from the cold that numbed your hands
The final breath of someone who doesn't know who will be in school tomorrow
In a classroom with a distant view, looking at the high-rises of Scampia
Peers still weigh their futures on a scale

So I try to understand so I don't talk nonsense
A child points an airplane with a phrase on top, it says "I love you"
I can't betray it when they call my name
Sometimes I get tachycardia at night, I try not to sleep, hey
I wish I could make you understand who I want to be
I've put in too much time to finish a pair of new shoes to break in

I wish I could make you understand but [?]
I want to make you understand
I just want to make you understand
I want to make you understand
I wish I could make you understand
But I'm not made to understand
You're not made to understand
You're not made to understand

I started this year that looks like Christmas
I'm more confused
I think Santa Claus brings me different kinds of presents anyway
I gave away trust
My brothers are locked in the darkness in a forest
I know well that they won't leave
But if they leave, tell me
But if they leave, tell me
I know well that they won't leave
But if they leave, tell me

15 years old, paled from the cold that numbed your hands
The final breath of someone who doesn't know who will be in school tomorrow
In a classroom with a distant view, looking at the high-rises of Scampia
Peers still weigh their futures on a scale
