1985

This is the first song from my debut EP, ''Mi manca Roma'' (I miss Rome).


Here is the English translation, along with the orginal lyrics in Italian:


Do you see the airplanes?

Reagan sent them for who knows what,

To save his ass another times,

To remind us to the leader is him.


He won't run away to Turkey like someone else,

He's the king of punk, he's its muse.

He's the king of punk, he brought it back to life.


God bless 1985,

Spritz, glamour, everything shines

Hurray for 1985,

The best year that there is.


Not yet slaves,

No longer leaders.


Already a power,

Between two worlds.


Blocked there,

We'll pay for it.


The sky is gray,

The sea even more.


The flag is red,

The street way more.


God bless the eighties,

Bombings, anxiety everywhere.

Hurray for the eighties,

Come to live them.


Hmmm...


Come... to live them!


The Italian lyrics:


Li vedi gli aerei?


Reagan li ha mandati per chissà cosa,

Per pararsi il culo ancora un’altra volta,

Per ricordarci che il leader è lui.


Non scapperà in Turchia come qualcun altro,

è il re del punk,

la sua musa,

è il re del punk,

L’ha riportato in vita


Dio benedica l’85

Spritz, glamour, tutto brilla,

Viva l’85

Il miglior anno che ci sia.


Non ancora schiavi,

Non più padroni,


Già potenza,

Tra due mondi.


Bloccati lì,

Pagheremo.


Il cielo è grigio,

Il mare di più.


La bandiera è rossa,

La strada ancor più.


Dio benedica gli anni ottanta,

Bombardamenti, ansia a palla,

Non la vuoi una bella vita così?

Viva gli anni ottanta,

Vieni per viverli.


Hmmm….


Vieni… per viverli!...


Hm.


A.N.: In the song I say 'Turkey', when I actually meant to say 'Tunisia'.

This is in reference to the country Bettino Craxi, an Italian socialist politician, went into exile to and died in. I'm sorry, it was the midde of the night when I recorded that and I was a biiiiit burnt out.
