Vaffanculo [English translation]

If I look at myself in the mirror, with the time that has passed

I'm just richer, worse and more aged

It's the bitter confession of a superstar

Maybe it's the last occasion that I have to be myself

When I left my studies to live on illusions

I was the displeasure of relatives and parents

I was the kind of son, (who was a) dreamy teenager

That refuse advice and answer between their teeth

Fuck off, fuck off

But music is wicked, it is a snake's pit

and for every one who makes it, how many fail

The people in the music industry told me

You've got a looser face, I'm sorry you won't work

Masini

Fuck off,

Fuck off, fuck off

It doesn't matter if I had cried and suffered

This life does it all by itself

In music I just discovered

The need for love that there is

Who knows what is true in a world of liars

The black anger cannot be sung to the the millions

We're all conformists disguised as rebels

We're wolves for interviews and the teenagers are lambs

That write you the pain in innocent letters

And their religion is to believe in singers

But you will find them one morning in a newspaper photograph

In the last window with the will to shout

to the world

Fuck off,

Fuck off, fuck off

I will resign from (being a) fake poet

From a prophet of this fan's club

I don't want teach you life

Because everyone of us learns it on his/her own

I'll leave among the sound of boos

It will be me that will free you from myself

From that fool who shouts in vinyls

The need for love that there is

Stop now, I feel bad

It's not right, fuck off

In the mirror this evening I have discovered another face

My soul is more authentic than the mask I carry

Finally, I say to you with all my despair

My dear worst enemy disguised as saint

Fuck off, fuck off

Fuck off, fuck off
