Quanti anni son passati
Many years have gone by
I regaz erano spensierati
We were young and carefree
Zero i programmi comprati
We didn't buy any software programs
Erano tutti craccati
We cracked all of them
Tastierino MIDI acceso
MIDI keyboard turned on
Con il cuore sempre più pieno
Our hearts were fuller every day
Uscivano cose pesissime
We released some really heavy stuff
Frate non mi sembrava vero
I still can't believe it, man
Musica come medicina
Music is like medicine
L'anima consola e si avvicina
It soothes the soul and brings us closer
La mente si distende sulla gente
Our minds expand to include everyone
La mia vista parte e allucina
My vision goes crazy
Non voglio pensare a niente
I don't want to think about anything
Voglio solo sentire qui
I just want to feel this moment
Sto suono rimarrà per sempre
This sound will stay with me forever
Anche quando non ci sarò più
Even after I'm gone
La luce rossa si accende
The red light comes on
Il microfono è incandescente
The microphone is hot
Fanculo a quella stupida gente
Screw those stupid people
Che chiede scusa poi se ne pente
Who apologize and then regret it
Questa roba è la mia rivincita
This is my revenge
Sana musica, qualche parola mistica
Healthy music, some mystical words
Finchè mi accompagna vado lontano
As long as it accompanies me, I'll go far
Senza abbandonare la mia famiglia
Without leaving my family behind
La mia famiglia
My family
Spinno un vinile su sta gente
I spin a record for these people
Lascio che tutto porti a niente
I let everything go to nothing
Butto un campione sul sampler
I throw a sample on the sampler
Divento un robot come Bender
I become a robot like Bender
Appiccio la tr
I stick to the beat
Il ritmo mi accompagna
The rhythm accompanies me
Risuona su ste terre
It resonates throughout these lands
Sostituendo la solita lagna
Replacing the usual whining
08404, in viaggio, destinazione
08404, on the move, destination
Una tranquilla giornata di Maggio
A peaceful day in May
Porto tutto l'impianto
I bring all the equipment
In mezzo a un campo
In the middle of a field
Facciamo festa fino all'alba
We party until dawn
Se vieni giuro che mi spacco
If you come, I swear I'll go crazy
Tecnica e arte
Technique and art
Cuore e carte
Heart and cards
Odio e violenza
Hate and violence
Passione e pazienza
Passion and patience
Vita e morte
Life and death
Futuro e sorte
Future and fate
Stato infame
Infamous state
Politici a puttane
Politicians as hookers
Voglio giocare la mia partita
I want to play my game
Musica unica via d'uscita
Music, the only way out
Voglio giocare la mia partita
I want to play my game
Musica unica via d'uscita
Music, the only way out
