Lyrics and translation Nino D'Angelo - Sona E Canta

Sona E Canta

Sona e canta, sotto a nu cielo stanche.
Giuventù ca nun reposa, rosa e po' rosa.
Canta e sona, ngopp"e scale e nu quartiere.
Libero e prigiuniero, cundannato a nun cagnà.
(STRUMENTALE)
Sona e canta, sotto 'a muntagna Eterna.
Dint"e mmane e chi se 'a venne, e chi se 'a vò accattà.
Canta e sona, mmiez"o mare e ngoppe 'a Terra.
Addò tremmano 'e cuscienze,'e chi sape 'a verità.
(Chiara) Si sapisse cherè na parola, chi parla e nun sape chi è sule.
E se ncanta inte 'a Barca o in balera, aspettano nu Sole ca vene.
Si sapisse cherè na ragione, chi sape ca nun e nisciuno.
E si trova na Luce che 'a vede, chella Luce addeventa na Fede.
Quanne? Quanne se ne va... Chesta musica senza tiempo...
Cavere appiccià! Che ha stutato 'a dinte.
Quanne? Quanne se ne va. Chistu tiempo che ha perso 'o tiempo.
Forse può vulà! E sì 'o mare te presta 'o viento...
Sona e canta, addò è cchiù llonghe sò 'e distanze.
Dinte a n'abbraccio e na partenza,'e chi nun se sape lassà.
Canta e sona, e nuie cu sti Pulecenella.
Ca murimme alleramente, aspettanno 'e respirà.
(Chiara) Si sapisse cherè na parola, chi parla e nun sape chi è sule.
E se ncanta inte 'a Barca o in balera, aspettano nu Sole ca vene.
Si sapisse cherè na ragione, chi sape ca nun e nisciuno.
E si trova na Luce che 'a vede, chella Luce addeventa na Fede.
Quanne? Quanne se ne va... Chesta musica senza tiempo...
Cavere appiccià! Che ha stutato 'a dinte.
Quanne? Quanne se ne va. Chistu tiempo che ha perso 'o tiempo.
Forse può vulà! E sì 'o mare te presta 'o viento...

Sing and Play

Sing and play, beneath a tired sky.
Youth that never rests, rose and then rose.
Sing and play, on the steps of a neighborhood.
Free and prisoner, condemned to never change.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Sing and play, beneath the Eternal Mountain.
In the hands of those who sell it, and those who want to buy it.
Sing and play, in the middle of the sea and on Earth.
Where consciences tremble, of those who know the truth.
(Chiara) If I knew why it was a word, that speaks and does not know who is alone.
And if it sings in the Boat or in the dance hall, they wait for a Sun that comes.
If I knew why it was a reason, that knows it is no one.
And if it finds a Light that sees it, that Light becomes a Faith.
When? When it goes away... This music without time...
Start singing! That stopped the tooth.
When? When it goes away. This time that has wasted time.
Perhaps it can fly! And if the sea lends you the wind...
Sing and play, where the distances are longer.
In an embrace and a departure, of those who cannot leave each other.
Sing and play, and we with these Pulecenella.
That we die happily, waiting to breathe.
(Chiara) If I knew why it was a word, that speaks and does not know who is alone.
And if it sings in the Boat or in the dance hall, they wait for a Sun that comes.
If I knew why it was a reason, that knows it is no one.
And if it finds a Light that sees it, that Light becomes a Faith.
When? When it goes away... This music without time...
Start singing! That stopped the tooth.
When? When it goes away. This time that has wasted time.
Perhaps it can fly! And if the sea lends you the wind...
