Gabbie [English translation]

Christmas '76, it's too cold for Jesus

that at the first snatch he did not go down

Council houses upon me, two or maybe three parents

Shreds of Sicily in the mists, divided by

Cages

They are all still there and still dream sands

I left school on Monday, full of rage

Taking the law has become a fever

and courage is not but a syringe for me

It's the law of Menga, but you cry in prison too

The memory fades

and even a woman gets lost if for a while she doesn't tighten

Bank of America, you want it to be

Ten million to be divided in three

It says << If you want the stuff give me the danè ("money" in Milanese dialect)

... if you want to sleep and also love her

it takes a bit of this hell now >>

<< Marshal, you have family. What are you doing? ... No, get up >>

Cages

I've never known anything but cages in my life

If he/she waited for me I would live, but it would be too beautiful

Do me a favor Jesus, make this hook that holds

Let the blue be away from these cages soon

Cages

I've never known anything but cages in my life

If he/she waited for me I would live, but it would be too beautiful

Do me a favor Jesus, make this hook that holds

Don't leave me down here, not like a eagle in a cage
