Non Stare Ad Ascoltare
Redska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
che vanno in giro solamente pper affari!
da criminali si aggirano per gli stati
per mille commissioni e cento cazzi vari!
son stipendiati altro' che come ingenieri
non son neanche dei semplici banchieri!
come sempre sorridono e sempre fieri
e si combattono come dei guerrieri!!
uoooo!!
non farti raggirare!!
uoooo!!
non stare ad ascoltare!!
uoooo!!
non farti raggirare!
uoooo!!
non stare ad ascoltare!
che cosa pensi di quei porci criminali
che vanno in giro come sporchi animali
con elicotteri e jet aerospaziali
intascando soldi come iper mercati!
son stipendiati altro' che come ingenieri
non son neanche dei semplici banchieri!
come sempre sorridono e sempre fieri
ma sono falsi come un treno di tangenti!!
uoooo!!
non farti raggirare!!
uoooo!!
non stare ad ascoltare!!
uoooo!!
non farti raggirare!
uoooo!!
non stare ad ascoltare!
The lyrics of Redska’s song Non Stare Ad Ascoltare shed light on the corrupt activities of a certain group of people called “porci nazionali” or “porci criminali” who move around with helicopters and jet planes, committing various crimes and earning loads of money. The lyrics suggest that these people may not necessarily be bankers or engineers although they are paid like one. They carry out their activities like warriors and flaunt their superiority with fake smiles and false confidence.
However, the artist urges the audience to not be deceived by such people and to not listen to them. The phrase “non farti raggirare” or “don’t be deceived” is repeatedly emphasized throughout the song. The use of the word “porci” or “pigs” in the lyrics is derogatory and perhaps signifies the disgust with which the artist views this group of people. The song seems to be a call for people to be more discerning about who they choose to believe and trust.
The song may also have a political undertone as it highlights the corruption within a certain group of people in power. The use of the phrase “nazionali” or “national” suggests that this group could be related to the government or ruling party of the country. Overall, the lyrics of Non Stare Ad Ascoltare are a warning against blindly believing those in power and being more discerning about one’s choices.
