Due Principi Lyrics English Translation by Neima Ezza
We were just you and me (Just you and me)
Two princes without a king (Without a king) (Ah)
We were just you and me (Just you and me) (Ah)
Two princes
I used to jump the turnstiles, do you remember?
To take the subway and escape the controls
Together with my brother from the early days
Now we are separated, waiting for you to return
The nights and your words: “You’ll see, one day you’ll make it”
I was full of dreams, but I had no money
The neighborhood as a backdrop, criminals and thugs
Listening to the advice Bordi gave us
Eyes illuminated by the shops downtown
Outside those clubs, they don’t want us inside
They used to be ten, once they were a hundred
They left me alone, you remain my brother
Eyes illuminated, I have to hold back tears
You, with your slightly older eyes, taught me not to cry
Besides my brother, you were a bit like a father
You taught me how to take them and how to give them back
And how long, bro, it’s been since we’ve seen each other, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
When there was no money, there was only you, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Together in problems and even among the blue lights, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
I miss those days that won’t come back, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
I look at the city (The city), bro (Bro)
I’m empty without you (Without you)
You were my other half (Half), but (But)
How do I live without you? (Without you)
You left me here, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
In the midst of a thousand problems
I swore loyalty to you, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
You’ll always be my brother (My brother, my brother)
We were just you and me (Just you and me, you and me)
Two princes without a king (Oh)
You were born a slave, one day you would have been a king (Seh)
I understood it before everyone else, even before you (Seh)
You saw me as great, but you didn’t know that
I was in the middle of tarantellas even bigger than me
Embarrassment in your eyes if I passed you money
I’d say, “Don’t worry, sooner or later you’ll bring it to me”
You were still a kid, I acted as your brother
Because with your real brother, you had no relationship (Argh)
And days have passed, but I reason in an old-fashioned way (Seh)
That even today, every enemy of yours is my enemy
So consequently, every friend of mine is your friend too
And if someone has a problem, it’s their problem alone (Bro)
Little brother, know that every time
I slapped you, it hurt me too (Seh)
My look in photos is full of myself
But I feel empty without you
And how long, bro, it’s been since we’ve seen each other, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
When there was no money, there was only you, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Together in problems and even among the blue lights, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
I miss those days that won’t come back, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
I look at the city (The city), bro (Bro)
I’m empty without you (Without you)
You were my other half (Half), but (But)
How do I live without you? (Without you)
You left me here, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
In the midst of a thousand problems
I swore loyalty to you, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
You’ll always be my brother (My brother, my brother)
We were just you and me (Just you and me, you and me)
Two princes without a king
Eh-ah, eh-ah (We were just you and me)
Eh-ah, eh-ah (Two princes without a king)
Ah-ah, ah-ah (Only the two of us)
Eh-ah, eh-ah (Two princes without a king)
