T.V.U.M.D.B. [English translation]
Hi 1
Girl spraying on the subway's walls
I thought I could get you some Zabov
But...what am I reading?
You prefer some Vov?
You know, the writing you wrote
You know, I really like it
You know, that little body of yours looking at me
Lured my little big body of mine towards you
You, writing on walls
Millions of acronyms like A.T.A. 2
T.V.U.M.D.B. 3
You're so attractive
You, dreaming of the fatty guy from Take That
You're having your first experiences with your Gillette
That autoeroticism in the shower
And suddenly, the chorus:
A.T.A., T.V.U.M.D.B.
By Elio and the Troubled Stories
Oh, A.T.A., T.V.U.M.D.B.
We, sons of the Absolute
Hey, you know, I'm so into you
And that's why I care about you 4
But I don't know if I'll be able to take it
When love will be a routine
And then we'll get divorced
And our kids will be unhappy
No!
I'll keep dreaming about the fatty guy from Take That
Who (don't say it)
Only lacks (you can't)
Two holes in his butt (it's not true and you know it)
To be Cicciobombo Cannoniere 5
And go live in France
A.T.A., T.V.U.M.D.B.
By Elio and the Troubled Stories
Oh, A.T.A., T.V.U.M.D.B.
We, two hearts and one marker pen
(But it's a white marker) 6
Like the Earth, Wind and Fire
Look how the marker pen writes
(The marker pen)
Hear the pepper screaming: "pam" 7
Taste how 'al dente' is the maccherone
(The maccherone 'al dente')
Inhale the guru's nerve gas 8
Oh, A.T.A., T.V.U.M.D.B.
We, sons of the Absolute

7. Mangoni is a key member of the band, although he doesn't usually play any instrument and only provides some vocals with his distinctive screeching voice, but he's mostly known for taking part in the band's concerts dressed up in the most weird and pitoresque ways. In this song he only says this "pam", but in many concert he would show up at this point of the song, wearing a giant red pepper costume, deliver his line and then just leave the stage.8. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway_sarin_attack
