fatti e parole


Explanation:
Si tratta di un gioco di parole sulla frase "you talk the talk but can you walk the walk" - che letteralmente significa "a parlare sei capace ma avrai il coraggio di far seguire i fatti?".

Senza contesto, non posso suggerire di meglio che qualcosa tipo "avere un comportamento a metà tra il parlare a vuoto e il far seguire i fatti"... se qualcun altro vuole migliorare
