Gloria Lyrics English Translation by Paky
On the streets we
Walk alone
The city shines tonight
Tonight for
One second of glory
I was put on this earth
To tell a story
Me, who’s only ever heard talk
Of nothing but shootouts
Me, who of life has seen
Only a small dose
And I still don’t know what’s
Behind that big building
No *** that in my tracks
I talk about the same things
No *** that I don’t make
Tracks with the Coma Cose
I’m falling from the clouds
Like Checco Zalone
Or maybe I’m rising up
To infinity and beyond
And it always rained hard
If I was standing in the rain
Leaving holes in me
Like gunshot wounds
I close the tinfoil
And after maybe I’ll close my eyes
Anyway even while awake
I’ve seen darkness until today
I had a dream so strong
It seemed the world outside
Had finally stopped raining
Then the thunder woke me
Where I’m from, god
Has always minded his own business
Imagine if one day
He’ll remember our names
Imagine if one day
He’ll remember us
He let his son die
Nailed to a cross on a hill
In the end, not even I
Remember your names
But I remember well
How many of your faces there are
When I’m here in Rozzano
I don’t wear watches
Not afraid they’ll take it from me
But that you don’t recognize me
It’s not that you made money
You already had money
I wish I’d had
Half of what you have
Look me in the face
And I’ll tell you: “what the hell are you looking at?”
It still hasn’t
Gotten through my head that I’m a singer
And I still haven’t
Learned how to act
Around people
With cash
I come from where the wheel
Turned backwards
Even this time
I wonder how much it costs
This *** glory
On the streets we
Walk alone
The city shines tonight
