Zappatore (Live)

Felicissima sera,
A tutte sti signure 'ncruvattate
E a chesta cummitiva accussí allèra,
D'uommene scicche e femmene pittate!
Chesta è na festa 'e ballo...
Tutte cu 'e fracchesciasse sti signure...
E i', ca só' sciso 'a coppa casa mia!
Mamma toja se ne more...
'O ssaje ca mamma toja more e te chiamma?
Meglio si te 'mparave zappatore,
Ca 'o zappatore, nun so scialle niro
Dice: "Mo torna, core 'e mamma soja,
Se vene a pigliá ll'ùrdemo suspiro..."
Chi só'?
Vuje mme guardate?
Só' 'o pate... i' sóngo 'o pate...
E nun mme pò cacciá!...
Só' nu fatecatóre
E magno pane e pane...
Si zappo 'a terra, chesto te fa onore...
Addenócchiate... e vásame sti mmane!

Zappatore (Live)

Most enjoyable evening,
To all these well-dressed ladies
And to this very merry group
Of chic men and painted women!
This is a dance party...
All these gentlemen with their tailcoats...
And I, who came down from my house on the hill!
Your mother is dying...
Do you know that your mother is dying and is calling for you?
It would be better if you learnt to be a farm worker,
Because the farm worker, does not wear mourning clothes
He says: "Come back to me now, heart of my mother,
If you come to take her last breath..."
Who am I?
Do you all see me?
I'm the father... I'm the father...
And you can't make me go away!...
I'm a hard worker
And I eat bread and bread...
If I dig the land, this does you honour...
Get down on your knees... and kiss these hands!
