When I Google-Translate the Italian back to English, it comes out as "Exhausted ruts say..."' so I suspect I'm ruining international relations by letting a computer do my "translator" work.

Translator were a San Francisco-based band that put out four albums between 1982 and 1986. They fall in the New Wave / alternative/ college rock camp, but they're not part of the skinny-tie power pop brigade. Many of the lyrics on their first album tended towards a dark, dire tone, as if disaster was waiting just over the horizon. They also had a bit of a brighter Beatles influence on songs like “Everywhere.”
Of note are covers of Little Richard’s “Dizzy Miss Lizzy,” and John Lennon’s “Remember,” both of which show the Beatles influence.
The song "Different Time" was not issued until 2008, as a studio outtake on Different Time (2008).
