Traducción literaria al español — fiel al sentimiento del autor, no es cantable.
Estuve loco por malditos años
Absolutamente años, al borde del abismo desde hace siglos
Trabajando el culo para las bandas
Siempre estuve loco, sé que estuve loco
Como la mayoría de nosotros
Muy difícil de explicar por qué estás loco
Incluso si no estás loco

Parlato
Sono stato fuori di testa per anni, cazzo
Assolutamente anni, oltre il limite da un'eternità
Ho lavorato come un matto per le band
Sono sempre stato fuori di testa, lo so che lo sono stato
Come la maggior parte di noi
È molto difficile spiegare perché sei fuori di testa
Anche se non lo sei

Verso 1
Eu tô louco faz anos, porra
Anos absolutos, fui além do limite faz tempo
Trabalhei pra caramba por bandas
Sempre fui louco, eu sei que fui louco
Igual a maioria de nós
É muito difícil explicar por que você é louco
Mesmo que você não seja louco
La historia detrás
The song Speak to Me by Pink Floyd opens the iconic album The Dark Side of the Moon, released on March 1, 1973. This instrumental piece, created by Nick Mason, functions as an overture that encapsulates the essence of the record. Originally, Mason considered integrating it with Breathe, but he wanted his own credit, so it was split into two parts. During the recordings, engineer Alan Parsons would repeat "speak to me" to adjust the microphones, and that is where the definitive name came from. The song is a sound collage that blends music and effects, establishing the experimental and avant-garde tone of the album.
