Leggi la traduzione in italiano ed il testo della canzone Castle Walls di T.I. in collaborazione con la splendida voce di Christina Aguilera
Testo
Everyone thinks that I have it a ll
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[T.I. – Verse]
Observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in
bet you would think I got it made, better look again
i got a butler, got a maid, and a mansion
the belief is that I’m living out a millionaires fantasy
with Phantoms and Ferrai’s in the driveway
but you see the pain and the change of a sane man’s sanity
your vision jaded by the Grammy’s on the mantelpiece
just switch your camera lenses you will see the agony
apparently it’s damaging the man you see before you
on the canvas he may seem aight but all the disadvantages his family
encounters overshadows his extravagance
walk in my nines a while I dare you it’ll scare you
while it surely seem like the Kings life seem glamorous
as seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs
because the camera doesn’t see beyond the walls of the smiles
on the castle until it falls in the pile
[Chorus]
Everyone thinks that I have it a ll
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[Verse]
Honestly to me, I think I’d lose every benefit of all that I’ve accomplished
if my kids never with it, shit
me knowing this, why should the verse I’ve laid
be more important to me than the persons I’ve raised
I guess I’m saying that to say that opportunity
but they just don’t equate to all the time they take away
from the kids all the shit I did right is a mistake
if Deyjah end up a stripper and Major out slanging Yay
how could I ever consider myself a great
if Messiah ain’t paid and Nique Nnique ain’t straight
would your favorite song about the whips, money and shit
be relevant if you found out, the money wasn’t real, nope

so me being the Goat shouldn’t mean more to me
than see it to King though
from a bad ass kid to a man with some dough
otherwise I may well have stayed po
so while they stay focused on me beefin with Flip,
or Shawty Low, Gucci or Ludacris
or if I’m fucking with a hoe
did I snitch when I got arrested or will I die over non-sense
internally I’m dealing with this conflict
so excuse me if I don’t get the chance to kiss the hand
or slap me in the face, ay I’m just the man
if they saying I ain’t the best at making hit records
it’s cause this my life these ain’t just rapping
you didn’t think it all went that deep, did ya dawg
see you can’t see the castle for the walls til it fall
betcha ain’t think it went that deep, did ya dawg
cause see you can’t see the castle for the walls til it falls
[Chorus]
Everyone thinks that I have it a ll
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
Nobody knows I’m all alone
living in this castle made of stone
they say that money is freedom but I feel trapped inside it all
and while I sit so high up on a throne
I wonder how I can feel this low
On top of the World it’s beautiful
but there’s not place to fall
[Verse]
For the record ay, I give a damn if I never said shit again
my career was meant for me to come and tell this
honest interpretation of how affected I’m faced with
matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement
every day that I walk away I ain’t saying that I’m amazing
downplaying the way I kept fellas from catching cases
castle walls lyrics written courtesy of hiphoprx.com
won’t take into consideration how much it mean what I’m saying
and when I say what I mean even when I’m surrounded by the fakers
from one of the greatest centers, blessed with most of God’s graces
who made his way amongst the greatest from the grimiest places
so next time you rating royalty
and more is being given to recordings than the level of your loyalty
obvious you’ve been ignoring me
who else ya seen make through the storm, unharmed this charming
while all the critics was lookin for Prince charming
disregarded the King of The South but raised doubt
even though he made a castle out what used to be a house
he did shit that all favorites rappers only rap about
but most of yall don’t see the castle for the walls
and the smiles til it falls in the piles so wow
[Chorus]
Everyone thinks that I have it a ll
but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
these castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
Traduzione
Tutti pensano che io abbia tutto
ma è così vuota la vita vivendo dietro alle mura di questo castello
alle mura di questo castello
Se dovessi inciampare, se dovessi cadere
qualcuno mi sentirebbe mentre grido dietro alle mura di questo castello
Non c’è proprio nessuno qui, dietro alle mura di questo castello.
[T.I. – Verse]
Osservando la proprietà attraverso la porta dall’esterno e guardando dentro
scommetto che potresti pensare che io ce l’abbia fatta, è meglio se guardi di nuovo
Ho un maggiordomo, ha una cameriera, e un palazzo
Tutti credono che io stia vivendo una fantasia da milionario
con fantasmi e le Ferrai nel vialetto
ma vedi il dolore e il mutamento della sanità mentale di un uomo
il tuo sguardo annoiato da Grammy sulla mensola del caminetto
allora accendi le lenti della fotocamera e potrai vedere l’agonia
A quanto pare è sta danneggiando l’uomo che vedete davanti a te
in apparenza può sembrare ok, ma tutta la sofferenza che la sua famiglia
ha incontrato mette in ombra la sua stravaganza
camminare un po’ nei miei anni, ti avviso che ti spaventerà
mentre è sicuro che la vita del Re sembra glamour
vista attraverso gli occhi di dilettanti inesperti
perché la fotocamera non vede al di là delle mura deu sorrisi
sul castello fino a quando non cade
[Chorus]
Tutti pensano che io abbia tutto
ma è così vuota la vita vivendo dietro alle mura di questo castello
alle mura di questo castello
Se dovessi inciampare, se dovessi cadere
qualcuno mi sentirebbe mentre grido dietro alle mura di questo castello
Non c’è proprio nessuno qui, dietro alle mura di questo castello.
[Verse]
Onestamente, penso che perderei ogni beneficio di tutto quello che ho guadagnato
se i miei figli non fossero con me, merda
lo so, perché i versetto che composto
dovrebbero essere più importante per me che le persone che ho cresciuto
