Текст и перевод песни Caparezza feat. Michael Franti - E' tardi

E' tardi

Ho pubblicato il primo disco che era già tardi
Più di 30 anni quando ho cominciato a chattarvi
Non perché sia pigro come il gatto
Già, Garfield
E' che si guarda Bambi e "puff" siamo già grandi
Ed è tardi per tornare sui miei passi
Per diventare maschio alfa in un'Alfa coi raschi
Passa il tempo e sono "off", man, come Dustin
Fuori moda come il Nokia con i tasti
Ci hanno truffati ma è tardi per chiamare i gendarmi
Restiamo qui, polli, sì, senza J. Harvey
Troppo tardi per azioni di massa corali
Passano i bari, chiusa la cassa, ripassa domani
È tardi per sollevare stendardi e combatterci
Come Franchi coi Longobardi
Se il paese va in default sono cazzi
Una vita da ologrammi, black out, è troppo tardi
Per trovare lavoro è tardi
Per diventare buono è tardi
Per prenotare un volo è tardi
Per cambiare città è tardi
Per finire l'università è tardi
Per i traguardi è
Troppo tardi ma non mi fermerò
Troppo tardi ma non mi fermerò
Troppo tardi ma non mi fermerò
Ma non mi fermerò
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
I won't stop
Come al solito è troppo tardi per andare a scuola
Ed alfabetizzarsi con buona pace di Alberto Manzi
Devo aggiornarmi
Ma del nuovo artista conosco la faccia
Non che cosa faccia al contrario di Bansky
Troppo tardi per saltare pasti, siamo grassi
Troppo grandi per camminare a piedi scalzi
Hai un gruppo metal? Troppo ganzi
Ma è troppo tardi per fare le rockstar sotto l'ampli
Sei giù di morale come l'androide Marvin
Ovunque guardi trovi più bersagli che dardi
Ti ricordi di quando tiravi tardi
Ora è coprifuoco come da attacchi dinamitardi
Troppo tardi per comprare un Harley
Tempo e denaro sono concetti diversi, non so accomunarli
Scrivo un disco sull'arte con il rischio di imputtanarmi
Ora che posso farci? È troppo tardi
Per fare chiasso è tardi
Per fare un puzzle è tardi
Per tatuarmi Che Guevara sul braccio è tardi
Per ascoltare Vivaldi è tardi
Per educare il mio rottweiler è tardi
E' troppo tardi ma non mi fermerò
Troppo tardi ma non mi fermerò
Troppo tardi ma non mi fermerò
Ma non mi fermerò
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
I won't stop
It's getting late but the game ain't over
Caparezza pass the mic over
So I can take the world off my shoulders
Put it in a song and call it rock and roll
My voice is my weapon, it's my choice to use it
Lacing up the track a Franti exclusive
Rockin' in the jungle out here in Bali
But you can feel the bass at my home in Cali
When I'm on the mic I rock the mic right
And when I see injustice I put up a fight
I don't know why different people always seem to fight
That's why we make music so the people unite but
While I'm gone you can call me
Don't use a cellie use the drums to warn me
I walk barefoot, no private jet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet, yo
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
I won't stop (è tardi)
È tardi
When I'm on the mic I rock the mic right
And when I see injustice I put up a fight
I don't know why different people always seem to fight
That's why we make music so the people unite but
While I'm gone you can call me
Don't use a cellie use the drums to warn me
I walk barefoot, no private jet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet

It's Late

I released my first album when it was already late
Over 30 years old when I started chatting you up
Not because I'm lazy like Garfield the cat
Yeah, Garfield
It's just you watch Bambi and "poof" we're already grown
And it's too late to retrace my steps
To become an alpha male in an Alfa Romeo with scratches
Time passes and I'm "off", man, like Dustin
Out of fashion like a Nokia with buttons
They've tricked us but it's too late to call the cops
We're stuck here, chickens, yeah, without PJ Harvey
Too late for choral mass actions
The bars close, the register's shut, come back tomorrow
It's too late to raise banners and fight each other
Like the Franks against the Lombards
If the country goes bankrupt, we're screwed
A life of holograms, blackouts, it's too late
To find a job it's too late
To become good it's too late
To book a flight it's too late
To change cities it's too late
To finish university it's too late
For achievements it's
Too late but I won't stop
Too late but I won't stop
Too late but I won't stop
But I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
I won't stop
As usual, it's too late to go to school
And learn to read and write, with all due respect to Alberto Manzi
I need to update myself
But I only know the new artist's face
Not what he does, unlike Banksy
Too late to skip meals, we're fat
Too old to walk barefoot
You have a metal band? That's so cool
But it's too late to be rockstars under the amp
You're down like Marvin the android
Everywhere you look you find more targets than darts
Remember when you used to stay up late?
Now it's curfew like after dynamite attacks
Too late to buy a Harley
Time and money are different concepts, I can't put them together
I'm writing an album about art with the risk of screwing up
Now what can I do? It's too late
To make noise it's too late
To do a puzzle it's too late
To tattoo Che Guevara on my arm it's too late
To listen to Vivaldi it's too late
To train my Rottweiler it's too late
It's too late but I won't stop
Too late but I won't stop
Too late but I won't stop
But I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
I won't stop
It's getting late but the game ain't over
Caparezza pass the mic over
So I can take the world off my shoulders
Put it in a song and call it rock and roll
My voice is my weapon, it's my choice to use it
Lacing up the track a Franti exclusive
Rockin' in the jungle out here in Bali
But you can feel the bass at my home in Cali
When I'm on the mic I rock the mic right
And when I see injustice I put up a fight
I don't know why different people always seem to fight
That's why we make music so the people unite but
While I'm gone you can call me
Don't use a cellie use the drums to warn me
I walk barefoot, no private jet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet, yo
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
It's too late but I won't stop
I won't stop (it's late)
It's late
When I'm on the mic I rock the mic right
And when I see injustice I put up a fight
I don't know why different people always seem to fight
That's why we make music so the people unite but
While I'm gone you can call me
Don't use a cellie use the drums to warn me
I walk barefoot, no private jet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
Cause I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
I was born a rebel and I ain't stop yet
