[English]

If I leave

In Budapest you'll remember

The days in the tent, that moonlight

Smoking until dawn

You won't change

And I won't change

Fucking up my head in a night club

Suffering can seem a bit fake

If you cure your tears at a rave

White t-shirt, gold on my teeth, blue jeans

Don't compare me to a bitch like that

It wasn't enough, just us in the jeep

But I'm not good at chasing

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit

Baby, I won't call back

We were dancing in the north side

When you called me "bro"

With flowers, flowers in the gold tracksuit

You smoked half of it

I'll get over it

I'll remember the black vests full of sugar

I'm changing my number

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit

Baby, I won't call back

Where has the trust gone, turned arid

It's like the air of the Sahara

You told me stories of people without ever saying their names, names, names

Like your friend in prison but

To stay in the neighborhood you need fucking personality

If you leave, tell me who will console your mother

White t-shirt, gold on my teeth, blue jeans

Don't compare me to a bitch like that

It wasn't enough, just us in the jeep

But I'm not good at chasing

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit

Baby, I won't call back

We were dancing in the north side

When you called me "bro"

With flowers, flowers in the gold tracksuit

You smoked half of it

I'll get over it

I'll remember the black vests full of sugar

I'm changing my number

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit

Baby, I won't call back

The offenses did me good

When I took them and cried outside of middle school

You said, "Go back to your country"

You know I don't hold grudges

Even if my dad asks me again

To change my last name

We were dancing in the north side

When you called me "bro"

With flowers, flowers in the gold tracksuit

You smoked half of it

I'll get over it

I'll remember the black vests full of sugar

I'm changing my number

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit

Baby, I won't call back

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit, gold, gold, gold, gold

5 cell phones in the gold tracksuit

Baby, I won't call back

[Italian]

Se partirò

A Budapest ti ricorderai

Dei giorni in tenda quella moonlight

Fumando fino all'alba

Non cambierai

E non cambierò

Fottendomi la testa in un night

Soffrire può sembrare un po' fake

Se curi le tue lacrime ad un rave

Maglia bianca, oro sui denti, blue jeans

Non paragonarmi a una bitch così

Non era abbastanza noi soli sulla jeep

Ma non sono bravo a rincorrere

5 cellulari nella tuta gold

Baby non richiamerò

Ballavamo nella zona nord

Quando mi chiamavi fra

Con i fiori fiori nella tuta gold

Tu ne fumavi la metà

Mi passerà

Ricorderò i gilet neri pieni di zucchero

Cambio numero

5 cellulari nella tuta gold

Baby non richiamerò

Dov'è la fiducia diventata arida

È come l'aria del Sahara

Mi raccontavi storie di gente senza dire mai il nome nome nome

Come l'amico tuo in prigione ma

A stare nel quartiere serve fottuta personalità

Se partirai dimmi tua madre chi la consolerà

Maglia bianca, oro sui denti, blue jeans

Non paragonarmi a una bitch così

Non era abbastanza noi soli sulla jeep

Ma non sono bravo a rincorrere

5 cellulari nella tuta gold

Baby non richiamerò

Ballavamo nella zona nord

Quando mi chiamavi fra

Con i fiori fiori nella tuta gold

Tu ne fumavi la metà

Mi passerà

Ricorderò i gilet neri pieni di zucchero

Cambio numero

5 cellulari nella tuta gold

Baby non richiamerò

Mi hanno fatto bene le offese

Quando fuori dalle medie le ho prese e ho pianto

Dicevi ritornatene al tuo paese

Lo sai che non porto rancore

Anche se papà mi richiederà

Di cambiare cognome

Ballavamo nella zona nord

Quando mi chiamavi fra

Con i fiori fiori nella tuta gold

Tu ne fumavi la metà

Mi passerà

Ricorderò i gilet neri pieni di zucchero

Cambio numero

5 cellulari nella tuta gold

Baby non richiamerò

5 cellulari nella tuta gold, gold, gold, gold, gold

5 cellulari nella tuta gold

Baby non richiamerò
