Key Grammar Structures
-
C'ho ancora un po' de veleno pe' voi
➔ Use of "c'ho" (short for "ci ho").
➔ "C'ho" is a colloquial contraction of "ci ho", meaning "I have". It's informal and common in spoken Italian. "Ancora un po' de veleno" means "still a bit of poison".
-
Puoi portare chi ti pare tanto non dura
➔ Use of "chi ti pare" (whoever you want).
➔ "Chi ti pare" is an idiomatic expression meaning "whoever you like" or "anyone you want". It uses the subjunctive mood ("pare") after "chi" to indicate possibility or choice. "tanto non dura" means "it won't last anyway".
-
Ricorda che sono una Jordan, tu sei il sandalo
➔ Use of comparison using "essere" (to be).
➔ This line compares the speaker to a "Jordan" (a desirable brand of shoe) and the listener to a "sandalo" (sandal), implying the speaker is superior. "Sono una Jordan" means "I am a Jordan" and "tu sei il sandalo" means "you are the sandal". The verb "essere" (to be) is used to establish the comparison.
-
Che per farle impieghi il tempo che il pianeta muore
➔ Use of "che" as a conjunction introducing a relative clause.
➔ Here, "che" introduces a relative clause that describes the amount of time required. The entire phrase means "that to do them (the bars) you take the time it takes for the planet to die." "Che" connects the two parts of the sentence and gives more information about the "tempo".
-
Quando monto sembra di stare in un altro mondo
➔ Impersonal construction with "sembra di" + infinitive.
➔ "Sembra di stare" is an impersonal construction meaning "it seems like being". It expresses a general impression or feeling without attributing it to a specific subject. "Quando monto" means "when I get on/mount (the beat)", and the whole sentence means "When I get on the beat, it feels like being in another world."
-
Le tecniche che cerchi tu, c'ho
➔ Ellipsis and informal sentence structure.
➔ This is a shortened and informal way of saying "Le tecniche che cerchi tu, ce le ho". "C'ho" is a contraction of "ci ho" meaning "I have them". The "ce le" is omitted for brevity, common in spoken Italian.
-
Se mi spari torno, sono vendicativo
➔ Conditional clause using "se" (if) with present indicative, followed by present indicative.
➔ This sentence shows a real or likely conditional situation. "Se mi spari" (if you shoot me) is the condition, and "torno" (I come back) is the consequence. The present indicative is used in both clauses to express the idea that the consequence will happen if the condition is met. "Sono vendicativo" means "I am vengeful".
-
Sto con Labadini, gonfio Napapijiri
➔ Use of "stare con" meaning "to be with" or "to hang out with".
➔ "Sto con" is a shortened form of "io sto con", meaning "I am with". It implies being in the company of someone. "Gonfio Napapijiri" means "wearing a Napapijiri jacket", suggesting affluence or style.
