Italian hip-hop rap singer: Fabri Fibra "Speak English" irony

posted: Tuesday 17 November 2009 by Alison in: Music: singers and songs Videos

Italians don’t do irony, but Fabri Fibra does in this hilarious single from the Italian rap singer’s new album “Chi vuole essere Fabri Fibra?” (”Who wants to be Fabri Fibra?”). Above is a video of the new single “Speak English”, but unfortunately we can’t give you the original videoclip (check it out on youtube), filmed in Brighton. After the jump, we give you a few lyrics from the song, and a couple of great one-liners from the Italian rap sensation. For more details on Fabri Fibra, check out his site. According to the man himself, if he was English, he would have won an MTV prize by now.

Fabri Fibra, Speak English

Big Fish, Do you speak english?
Fabri Fibra, Do you speak English?
Lo chiedo a te , do you speak English
Voglio andare in Inghilterra x4

Big Fish, do you speak English?
Fabri Fibra, do you speak English?
I’m asking you, do you speak English?
I want to go to England x4

A Brighton per chiedere a qualcuno come va si domanda e si risponde: allright mate
Se invece una persona ti guarda male ti vorrebbe picchiare si dice: allright mate
In Inghilterra se vuoi avere un conto in banca basta solamente dire: allright mate
E quando invece non hai voglia di parlare basta solo che tu dica: allright mate

At Brighton to ask someone ‘how’s it going’ to ask and to answer: all right mate
But if a person looks at you badly and wants to punch you, you say: all right mate
In England if you want a bank account, all you need to say is: all right mate
And when you don’t want to talk, all you have to say is: all right mate

In Inghilterra le ragazze bevono tutta la sera, In Inghilterra le ragazze la danno la prima sera.
E quando poi si rivestono alla fine del gioco se ne vanno e non ti rompono il cazzo il giorno dopo.
In Inghilterra è tutto più veloce, In Inghilterra se c’hai l’erba non finisci in croce.
Quando fumi questa merda ti va via la voce, when you smoke this shit ti va via la voce.

In England the girls drink all night, and they put out the first night
And when they get dressed at the end of the game, they go away and they don’t bother you the next day
In England everything is faster, in England if you’ve got grass it doesn’t finish in a cross
When you smoke this shit, your lose your voice, when you smoke this shit you lose your voice.
