Lyrics and translation Cesare Basile feat. Hugo Race, Alfio antico, Gino Robair, Rodrigo D'Erasmo & Roberto Angelini - Mina Lu Ventu

Mina Lu Ventu

Ama vinutu cca sta siritina
Ni ccià mannatu lu capu di l'annu
Ni ccià mannatu lu capu di l'annu

Sacciu c'aviti passula racina
Mastazzuleddi fatti senza 'ngannu
Cu si li mancia sunu midicina
E cu l'ha fattu ccià resta l'affannu

Su nni vuliti rapiri, rapiti
Ca semu quattru amici cunfirati
Ca semu quattru amici cunfirati

Si non vuliti rapiri, chiuditi
Spiramu ca non siti 'ngustiati
Mina lu ventu e rapi li porti
Cusapi s'annatrannu semu morti

O signurina, ma dati a strina
Annunca ju v'arrobbu u jaddu e a jaddina

Mina Lu Ventu

My dear, you have come here this evening
We've sent you the head of the new year
We've sent you the head of the new year

I know you have raisins and nuts
Home made nougat, made without cheating
Anyone who eats them will be cured
And whoever made them will be left breathless

If you want to open up, open up
Because we are four sworn friends
Because we are four sworn friends

If you don't want to open up, shut up
Let's hope you're not annoyed
The south wind is blowing and opening the doors
If we get in, we'll be dead

My dear young lady, will you give us something?
If not, I'll steal your donkey and your mule
