Mamì (feat. Alberto Caci & Kino Ferri) [Live]

Serom in quatter col Padola
El Rodolfo, el Gaina e poeu mi
Quatter amis, quatter malnatt
Vegnu su insemma compagn di gatt
Emm fa la guera in Albania
Poeu su in montagna a ciapà i ratt
Negher Todesch del la Wermacht
Mi fan morire domaa a pensagh!
Poeu m'hann cataa in d'una imboscada
Pugnn e pesciad e 'na fusilada
Ma mi, ma mi, ma mi
Quaranta dì, quaranta nott
A San Vittur a ciapaa i bott
Dormì de can, pien de malann!
Ma mi, ma mi, ma mi
Quaranta dì, quaranta nott
Sbattuu de su, sbattuu de giò
Mi sont de quei che parlen no!
El Commissari 'na mattina
El me manda a ciamà lì per lì
"Noi siamo qui, non sente alcun-
El me diseva 'che l'infamon!
El me diseva - i tuoi compari
Nui li pigliasse senza di te
Ma se parlasse ti firmo accà
Il tuo condono: la libertà!
Fesso sì tu se resti contento
D'essere solo chiuso qua ddentro..."
Ma mi, ma mi, ma mi
Quaranta dì, quaranta nott
A San Vittur a ciapaa i bott
Dormì de can, pien de malann!
Ma mi, ma mi, ma mi
Quaranta dì, quaranta nott
Sbattuu de su, sbattuu de giò
Mi sont de quei che parlen no!
Sont saraa su in 'sta ratera
Piena de nebbia, de fregg e de scur
Sotta a 'sti mur passen i tramm
Frecass e vita del ma Milan
El coeur se streng, venn giò la sira
Me senti mal, e stoo minga in pee
Cucciaa in sul lett in d'on canton
Me par de vess propri nissun!
L'è pegg che in guera staa su la tera
La libertà la var 'na spiada!
Ma mi, ma mi, ma mi
Quaranta dì, quaranta nott
A San Vittur a ciapaa i bott
Dormì de can, pien de malann!
Ma mi, ma mi, ma mi
Quaranta dì, quaranta nott
Sbattuu de su, sbattuu de giò
Mi sont de quei che parlen no!
Mi parli no!

Mamì (feat. Alberto Caci & Kino Ferri) [Live]

Accompanied by Padola in a quartet
Rodolfo, Gaina and then me
Four friends, four night owls
We came together like alley cats
We made war in Albania
Then up in the mountains hunting down rats
The cruel Germans of the Wehrmacht
Just the thought of it makes me want to die!
Then they caught me in an ambush
Punches and beatings and a firing squad
But me, me, me
Forty days, forty nights
In San Vittore taking kicks
Sleeping like a dog, full of misery!
But me, me, me
Forty days, forty nights
Being beaten up, from top to bottom
I'm one of those who don't talk!
One morning the Commissioner
Sent for me right away
"We are here, don't you hear anything-
The jerk said to me
He said to me, "Your buddies
We caught them without you
But if you talk I'll sign right here
Your pardon: your freedom!"
You're a fool if you're content
To be here locked up all alone..."
But me, me, me
Forty days, forty nights
In San Vittore taking kicks
Sleeping like a dog, full of misery!
But me, me, me
Forty days, forty nights
Being beaten up, from top to bottom
I'm one of those who don't talk!
I'm locked up in this rat hole
Full of fog, cold and dark
Trams pass under these walls
The hustle and bustle of my Milan
My heart sinks when evening comes
I feel sick, and I can't stand
Lying on the bed in a corner
I feel like I'm nobody!
It's worse than being at war on the front
Freedom is worth a sword thrust!
But me, me, me
Forty days, forty nights
In San Vittore taking kicks
Sleeping like a dog, full of misery!
But me, me, me
Forty days, forty nights
Being beaten up, from top to bottom
I'm one of those who don't talk!
I won't talk!
