Verse 1

I've tried to free myself from that sense of being unwanted

Or: I tried to get rid of that feeling of being unwanted

And I've failed a thousand times but I've tried

I've put weights on my back and then I fell

I've lost blood from my nose and I got up

Or: I've had a nosebleed and (then) I got up (again)

But at twenty years I already wonder if I'm too tired

Or: But at twenty years (old) already I ask myself if I'm too tired

If what I need is what I've desired

If one day I'll really succeed to be accomplished

And I'm scared

You stay an inch from my ass, d*ckhead

I've always chosen to be one and one only

Touch the sky and return to eating the asphalt

Or: Touch the sky and return to the ground

Sometimes I've cried, but that's not what stops me

I want my redemption

You stay an inch from my ass, d*ckhead

I've chosen to be one and only one

Touch the sky and return to eating asphalt

In the name of the Father, of the Son and Holy Spirit

Or: In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

In the name of the Father, of the Son, Holy Spirit

Verse 2

Make spacce, make a lot

Because now the world is not enough for me, the stage is not enough for me

They've called me in every way, even a coward

Or: They called me every name imaginable, even a coward

I died more than a hundred times, never died in vain

You tell me what you're hiding, what's in your palm?

Why do you call me crazy after you look at me?

If you think that I've changed, that I'm someone else

You don't understand shit, so why the hell are you looking at me?

You stay an inch from my ass, I repeat it

I've chosen to look further ahead than what I see

My past I don't forget, I don't deny it

Hit hard, I don't fall, I stay standing

Or: Hit (me) hard, I don't fall (anyway), I'm still standing

You stay an inch from my ass, d*ckhead

I've chosen to be one and only one

Touch the sky and return to eating asphalt

In the name of the Father, of the Son and Holy Spirit

In the name of the Father, of the Son, Holy Spirit

Verse 3

For what I've lived, the time that I've wasted

You thought that I was dead and then I was reborn

Have they ever told you what it's like to be an artist?

Of everything that I've lost, that I've sacrificed

Of not having a voice, being breathless

Or: About not having a voice, (about) being out of breath

Of having a thousand people who wait for your mistake

Or: Of having a thousand people waiting for you to make a mistake

Knowing that every misstep will be condemned

I wonder often if I was just lucky

And I don't overcome the motion of my anger

Or: And the anger inside me doesn't go away

I hope that my past takes away the paper

He's crazy, this is crazy, ask why I do it

In the name of the Father, of the Son, Holy Spirit

riscatto — redemption

Riscatto translates to "redemption," but it can also mean ransom or vindication. It's a powerful, dramatic word that conveys a sense of fighting back to reclaim one's honor after being wronged.

In this defiant rock anthem, Måneskin's frontman Damiano David screams, "Voglio il mio riscatto" (I want my redemption). He's not just seeking forgiveness; he's demanding to prove his worth and triumph over those who doubted him, perfectly capturing the song's raw energy and rebellious spirit.

Italian rockers Måneskin bring intense energy and fury in IN NOME DEL PADRE, delivering an explosive reaction against doubt, exhaustion, and critics waiting for them to trip up. Frontman Damiano David lays bare the toll of young ambition, admitting at age twenty that he already feels drained: "Però a vent'anni già mi chiedo se son troppo stanco" (But at twenty I already wonder if I'm too tired). He sings about nosebleeds, heavy loads on his back, and falling down, but refuses to back down. When people label him crazy or a coward, he snaps back with a blunt Italian warning: "Tu stammi ad un palmo dal culo" (Stay a palm's width away from my ass) - a colorful, aggressive way of telling haters to keep their distance and back off.

The chorus borrows a sacred Catholic prayer, "In nome del Padre, del Figlio e Spirito Santo" (In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit), flipping it into a defiant personal mantra for surviving the music world. Damiano questions whether he was just lucky ("Mi chiedo spesso se son stato solo fortunato") and vents about the pressure of having a thousand spectators watching for his next misstep. Through brutal crashes on the pavement ("mangiare l'asfalto" / eating the asphalt) and rising straight back up, the track turns pure rage and sacrifice into fuel for redemption.
