Lyrics and translation Neffa - Catene

Catene

Stongo aspettanno ca vene ll'onna
Sott'a 'stu sole ca brucia 'e fronne
E si putesse, je tenesse 'o munno sano
Comme a na rosa rossa 'int'a 'sti mmane

Stongo aspettanno, ma tu nun tuorne
Chiagno p"a via e nun me metto scuorno
Nun trovo pace, nun cerco chi m'aiuta
Nun tengo sciato 'ncopp'a 'sta sagliuta

Notte e juorne te tengo 'ncuollo
Comme a na freva ca nun vò passà
E troppi suonne aggio fatto, je credevo
Troppi cose ca nun erano overo
Addò stongo, je mo nun me trovo
E me serve 'a voce ca nun vò parlà
E l'ammo pеrzo pe sempe 'stu bеne
E l'ammo stritto cu troppi catene
Nun è rimasto niente

Stongo alluccanno, ma chi me sente?
Je stongo 'a sotto e tu sî cuntenta
Saccio ca nun tengo cchiù na via sicura
Ammesco 'stu curaggio c"a paura

Notte e juorne te tengo 'ncuollo
Comme a na freva ca nun vò passà
E troppi suonne aggio fatto, je credevo
Troppi cose ca nun erano overo
Addò stongo, je mo nun me trovo
E me serve 'a voce ca nun vò parlà
E l'ammo perzo pe sempe 'stu bene
E l'ammo stritto cu troppi catene
Nun è rimasto niente

Oh, jammo bello mo, sbatte 'sti mmane
Je stongo fatto e tu staje cchiù luntana
Bell'e buono nun me parle cchiù
Pare ca tutt"o munno sta cagnanno e cagne pure tu
Sienteme buono mo
'A gente penza ô male e vide comme s"o fa
Vide ca teneno ogne cosa e manco c'abbasta
Ma peggio ca perdere a te
Ce sta sulo perdere 'a faccia
Friddo 'int'a 'sti braccia
Pure si sî nu fantasma, mo statte

Chains

I wait for the wave to come
Under this sun that burns the leaves
And if I could, I would keep the world safe
Like a red rose in these hands

I wait, but you don't return
I cry in the street and I'm not ashamed
I can't find peace, I don't look for help
I'm breathless on this climb

Night and day I have you on my mind
Like a fever that won't go away
And I've had too many dreams, I believed them
Too many things that weren't true
I don't know where I am anymore
And I need the voice that won't speak
And love lost forever this love
And love tight with too many chains
Nothing left

I'm going crazy, can anyone hear me?
I'm below and you're happy
I know there's no more safe way for me
I mix this courage with fear

Night and day I have you on my mind
Like a fever that won't go away
And I've had too many dreams, I believed them
Too many things that weren't true
I don't know where I am anymore
And I need the voice that won't speak
And love lost forever this love
And love tight with too many chains
Nothing left

Oh, let's go now, clap your hands
I'm done and you're further away
You don't talk to me anymore
It seems that everyone is changing and you're changing too
Listen to me now
People think of evil and see how they do it
You see they have everything and it's not enough
But worse than losing you
There's only losing face
Cold in these arms
Even if you're a ghost, stay now
