Dai che fai
Bresh • From “Mediterraneo”
Mediterraneo’s Dai che fai Italian Lyrics English Translation
Bresh says he’s inside someone else’s body and finds a way to make a leap. He mentions Motorola phones ringing outside his school and the thick fog that made them die of boredom.
Non Ho Scelto Quello Che Ho FattoI didn’t choose what I did,
Sono Dentro Al Corpo Di Un Altro EI’m inside someone else’s body and,
Trovo Il Modo Di Fare Un SaltoI find a way to make a leap.
Ormai Non Ritorno Da Un SaccoI haven’t been back for a while now,
Esco In Piazza Però Non So Chi C’èI go out to the square, but I don’t know who’s there.
Fuori Dalla Mia Scuola Suonava Il MotorolaOutside my school, the Motorola would ring,
I Caschi Sempre In Mano La Musica Dal CellHelmets always in hand, music from the phone.
Caligo Sulla Zona Morivamo Di NoiaA thick fog was over the area, we were dying of boredom,
Prima Serata L’alba La Facevo Con TeThat first night, I watched the sunrise with you.
Dai Che FaiCome on, what are you doing?
Ti Attacchi Al Campanello Dimmi Dai Cos’haiYou’re leaning on the doorbell, come on, tell me what’s wrong.
Le Urla Sotto Casa Son Le StesseThe screams below the house are the same,
Spaccano Le FinestreThey shatter the windows.
Entrano In Sala E Cadono Sul PianoforteThey come into the hall and fall onto the piano,
E Suonano Tutta La NotteAnd they play all night long.
Dai Che FaiCome on, what are you doing?
Ti Attacchi Al Campanello Dimmi Dai Cos’haiYou’re leaning on the doorbell, come on, tell me what’s wrong.
Le Urla Sotto Casa Son Le StesseThe screams below the house are the same,
Esplodono Le StelleThe stars explode.
E Nel Quartiere Girano Tutta La NotteAnd they roam the neighborhood all night,
Bussano Tutte Le PorteKnocking on all the doors.
Mi Dicevi ‘così E CosìYou used to tell me, ‘it’s like this and that,
Posso Venire A Prenderti’‘Can I come and get you?’
Sono A Quinto Tra I Sassi E IoI’m in Quinto, among the rocks, and I,
Non Ho Niente Per StendermiI don’t have anything to lie down on.
Coi Megafoni Ti Cercavo Nei VicoliI was looking for you in the alleys with megaphones,
Non Dormo MaiI never sleep.
I Parcheggi Occupati Gli Schiaffi Dei SoldatiThe occupied parking lots, the slaps from the soldiers,
La Gente Della Techno Non Ascoltava Il RapThe techno crowd didn’t listen to rap.
Caligo Sulla Zona Morivamo Di NoiaFog hung over the area, we were dying from boredom,
Prima Serata L’alba La Facevo Con TeThat first evening, I saw the dawn with you.
Dai Che FaiCome on, what are you doing?
Ti Attacchi Al Campanello Dimmi Dai Cos’haiYou’re leaning on the doorbell, come on, tell me what’s wrong.
Le Urla Sotto Casa Son Le StesseThe screams below the house are the same,
Spaccano Le FinestreThey shatter the windows.
Entrano In Sala E Cadono Sul PianoforteThey come into the hall and fall onto the piano,
E Suonano Tutta La NotteAnd they play all night long.
Dai Che FaiCome on, what are you doing?
Ti Attacchi Al Campanello Dimmi Dai Cos’haiYou’re leaning on the doorbell, come on, tell me what’s wrong.
Le Urla Sotto Casa Son Le StesseThe screams below the house are the same,
Esplodono Le StelleThe stars explode.
E Nel Quartiere Girano Tutta La NotteAnd they roam the neighborhood all night,
Bussano Tutte Le PorteKnocking on all the doors.
Torno Davvero Sono Sano Per Un PeloI’m really coming back, I’m safe by a hair.
Sono Cambiato Per I Soldi Ma Non Credo NoI’ve changed for the money, but I don’t think so, no.
Alzo La Voce Solo Se Non Sono SerioI only raise my voice when I’m not being serious.
Resto Sereno Dentro Le Braccia Di VenomI stay calm within the arms of Venom.
Dai Che FaiCome on, what are you doing?
Ti Attacchi Al Campanello Dimmi Dai Cos’haiYou’re leaning on the doorbell, come on, tell me what’s wrong.
Le Urla Sotto Casa Son Le StesseThe screams below the house are the same,
Spaccano Le FinestreThey shatter the windows.
Entrano In Sala E Cadono Sul PianoforteThey come into the hall and fall onto the piano,
E Suonano Tutta La NotteAnd they play all night long.
Dai Che FaiCome on, what are you doing?
Ti Attacchi Al Campanello Dimmi Dai Cos’haiYou’re leaning on the doorbell, come on, tell me what’s wrong.
Le Urla Sotto Casa Son Le StesseThe screams below the house are the same,

E Nel Quartiere Girano Tutta La NotteAnd they roam the neighborhood all night,
Bussano Tutte Le PorteKnocking on all the doors.
