[English]

I look down from the top

as if I were a boss of the streets,

streets, streets, streets, streets, streets, streets

I cruise Paris in a GT-Sport,

grey buildings along the streets,

streets, streets, streets, streets, streets, streets

I don't have friends but I have a Glock

my enemies are tripping

tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping

Everyone knows who the GOAT is by now

so I do whatever I want

want, want, want, want, want, want

They pretend, they pretend

these people toast and laugh with you

It's a small world,

run, I even have friends in Mykonos

I hit the NOS in the alley

I look a bit like Lucifer

We solve it face to face

tell me no or yes, don't be shy

I don't open my eyes so I don't see

Because I don't want to open them

I don't ask for help so you don't go and tell anyone

I was locked up alone

and only a book kept me company

Now you understand how I'm supposed to trust anyone

Money doesn't fulfill me

Love doesn't fulfill me

I don't have many friends

and few of them are in prison

My mother truly fulfills me

Everyone else causes me pain

Some people die on me

always due to others' envy

Don't look at me the wrong way,

I'm not looking for trouble

I'm always in Barcelona

not in other people's neighborhoods

Just looking to fly,

forget about the good things

The bad things help me a lot,

I don't miss anyone

That one asked and turned me down

I only had enough for two,

yet I shared it with three

and I ended up with nothing myself

That one talks but envies me

He wanted to be like me,

You can't be like me,

money changed you

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

There's no war that stops, stops, stops, stops

If they talk to your face, face, face, face, face

And the court with a snitch

that quickly convicts me

I look down from the top

as if I were a boss of the streets,

streets, streets, streets, streets, streets, streets

I cruise Paris in a GT-Sport,

grey buildings along the streets,

streets, streets, streets, streets, streets, streets

I don't have friends but I have a Glock

my enemies are tripping

tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping

Everyone knows who the GOAT is by now

so I do whatever I want

want, want, want, want, want, want

They say Free El Cata

Listen

Free Escomar

He says, freedom to my people

who served their time

For the OGs

and also to everyone from the hood

[Italian]

Guardo il basso sopra dal top

come fossi un boss della calle,

calle, calle, calle, calle, calle, calle

Giro Parigi in GT-Sport,

palazzi grigi per la calle,

calle, calle, calle, calle, calle, calle

Non ho amici ma ho una glock

i miei nemici con le pare

pare, pare, pare, pare, pare, pare

Tutti sanno ormai chi è il goat

quindi faccio ciò che mi pare

pare, pare, pare, pare, pare, pare

Fingono, fingono

questi con te brindano e ridono

Il mondo è piccolo,

scappa ho amici pure a Mykonos

metto il NOS nel vicolo

sembro un po’ Lucifero

Risolviamo face to face

dimmi no oh yes, non fare il timido

Ojos no abro para no ver

Es que no quiero yo abrirlos

No pido ayuda pa que no vayas a decirlo

Estaba preso solo

y solo me acompañaba un libro

Ahora tu entiendes cómo voy a confiar

El dinero a mí no me llena

El amor a mí no me llena

Ni tengo muchos amigos

y pocos están en la condena

Mi madre si que me llena

Los demás me dan la pena

Hay gente que se me mueren

por la envidia siempre ajena

No me mires tu mal,

si yo no busco problemas

Siempre estoy en Barcelona

no por los barrios ajenos

Buscando solo volar,

olvidarme de lo bueno

Lo malo me ayuda mucho,

a nadie echo de menos

Ese pide y me rechazó

Solo tenía para dos,

aun así le reparto a tres

y me quedo sin nada yo

Ese el habla pero envidio

Él quería ser como yo,

Tu como yo no puedes ser,

el dinero a ti te cambió

Pare, pare, pare, pare, pare, pare

No hay guerra que se para, para, para, para

Si hablan a la cara, cara, cara, cara, cara

Y los juzgado con chivato

que rápido me declaran

Guardo il basso sopra dal top

come fossi un boss della calle,

calle, calle, calle, calle, calle, calle

Giro Parigi in GT-Sport,

palazzi grigi per la calle,

calle, calle, calle, calle, calle, calle

Non ho amici ma ho una glock

i miei nemici con le pare

pare, pare, pare, pare, pare, pare

Tutti sanno ormai chi è il goat

quindi faccio ciò che mi pare

pare, pare, pare, pare, pare, pare

Dice Free El Cata

Oye

Free Escomar

Dice, libertad a los míos

que pasaron su momento

Pa los mayores

y también a todos los del centro

Key Grammar Structures

• Guardo il basso sopra dal top come fossi un boss della calle,

  ➔ Imperfect Subjunctive (Congiuntivo imperfetto)

  ➔ "fossi" is the imperfect subjunctive of "essere" (to be), used here after "come" (as if) to express a hypothetical or unreal comparison.

• Tutti sanno ormai chi è il goat quindi faccio ciò che mi pare

  ➔ Indefinite Relative Pronoun "ciò che" (Pronome relativo indefinito "ciò che")

  ➔ "ciò che" (that which, what) introduces a relative clause referring to an unspecified thing or concept, acting as the object of "faccio".

• non fare il timido

  ➔ Negative Imperative (Imperativo negativo)

  ➔ "non fare" is the negative imperative of "fare" (to do/make), used to give a negative command or prohibition. In Italian, for "tu" (you singular), it's "non" + infinitive.

• Ojos no abro para no ver

  ➔ Negative Purpose Clause (Oración de finalidad negativa)

  ➔ "para no ver" (in order not to see) expresses the negative purpose of the action "no abro" (I don't open). "Para" is used with an infinitive to indicate purpose.

• No pido ayuda pa que no vayas a decirlo

  ➔ Subjunctive in Purpose Clauses (Subjuntivo en oraciones de finalidad)

  ➔ "pa que no vayas" (a colloquial variant of "para que no vayas") uses the present subjunctive to express a negative purpose or intention, as the action of the main verb is in a different subject or expresses influence/desire.

• Estaba preso solo y solo me acompañaba un libro

  ➔ Imperfect Tense and Pronominal Verb (Pretérito imperfecto y verbo pronominal)

  ➔ "Estaba" (I was) and "acompañaba" (it accompanied me) are in the imperfect tense, describing a continuous or habitual past action. "Me acompañaba" also functions as a pronominal verb indicating the book's action towards the speaker.

• Hay gente que se me mueren por la envidia siempre ajena

  ➔ Impersonal Construction "Hay" and Dative of Interest (Construcción impersonal "Hay" y dativo de interés)

  ➔ "Hay" means "there is/are". "Se me mueren" uses the reflexive pronoun "se" and the indirect object pronoun "me" to indicate that people die, and "I am affected by it" or "it happens on me/to my group." This "me" is a dative of interest.

• Buscando solo volar, olvidarme de lo bueno

  ➔ Gerund and Nounification of Adjective with "lo" (Gerundio y sustantivación del adjetivo con "lo")

  ➔ "Buscando" is a gerund, indicating an ongoing action. "Olvidarme" is a reflexive infinitive. "Lo bueno" uses the neuter article "lo" to turn the adjective "bueno" (good) into a noun meaning "the good things" or "what is good."

• No hay guerra que se para

  ➔ Impersonal Construction "No hay" and Reflexive Passive Voice (Construcción impersonal "No hay" y voz pasiva refleja)

  ➔ "No hay" means "there isn't." "que se para" uses "se" to form a reflexive passive (or impersonal "se" construction), meaning "that stops itself" or, more commonly, "that is stopped" by an unspecified agent.

• Y los juzgado con chivato que rápido me declaran

  ➔ Relative Clause (Oración de relativo)

  ➔ "que rápido me declaran" is a relative clause modifying "los juzgado con chivato" (the court/judged with a snitch), providing additional information about them. "Que" acts as the relative pronoun.
