Ghettolimpo [English translation]

[Intro]

If you preach alone

Outside a church you’ll know

The sky looks only at those who deserve it

[Verse 1]

Today I won’t pray, but I’ll run

Away from here like a predator

At the North Pole

Well, yeah, you talk about the ghetto, but tell me

You have nothing to say

I sing in Madrid

Everything is sold out up to here

The label wants a hit

[Verse 2]

Roll it, roll, roll, roll

I take pictures wearing a

Skirt, skirt, skirt

What am I going to tell mom

Mom, mom, mom

I get wet in the crowd, crowd, crowd

Here I live in the

Drama, drama, drama

Between life and

Karma, karma, karma

In my Prada coat

I feel nothing

Inside it’s colder than in Nevada

[Chorus]

There’s left only the smile

Of my Narcissus

It’s uglier, I swear I’ll change it

Alone behind

Glass mountains

We fucked our happiness up, you know, bro

If you pray alone

Pray alone

[Verse 3]

Being alone was easy

Then I read the pages

Of mythology as a child

With no friends down in the garden

I played

In my style

I hated

People who told me

“You’re so good”

But good at what

If when they offend me

I turn into a dangerous person?

I’m sorry if sometime I’ve disappointed you

I know who you are

[Chorus]

There’s left only the smile

Of my Narcissus

It’s uglier, I swear I’ll change it

Alone behind

Glass mountains

We fucked our happiness up, you know, bro

If you pray alone

Pray alone

[Bridge]

If afterlife can give you hope

No one knows if sky will give you a room

[Verse 4]

This world falls fast

If you don’t give people what they want

If you tell too much in a song

Then you’ll run out of words

You can hurt your own self on a terrace

You ask for an opinion ‘cause yours is not enough for you

I’m trying to make it without it

If I give you the soul I have left

You’ll tell me it’s not enough, it’s a limit of yours

I’d like a hug, ‘cause

Success goes to your head

If you think you’re not up to it

Look at your mother in the darkness

She’ll tell you: “Love is the only thing you’ve got left”
