Lyrics and translation Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare - In Galera Li Panettieri

In Galera Li Panettieri

In galera li panettieri
Mò ca s′erano arreccuti
Tutti s'erano resoluti
Deventare cavalieri
In galera li panettieri.
In galera li panettieri
Mò ca s′erano ingranduti
Nun vedevano li paputi
Ca turnavano comm"a ieri
In galera li panettieri.
In galera li panettieri
Se credevano già baroni
D'affamà la pupulazione
Nun se devano penzieri
In galera li panettieri.
Oh che spasso che bellu sfizio
Quanno venne la giustizia
Ca diceva: "mò che ne spieri"
Pave hoggi chello d'ajeri
In galera li panettieri.

In Galera Li Panettieri

In prison, the bakers
Now that they have become wealthy
All have resolved
To become knights
In prison, the bakers.
In prison, the bakers
Now that they have become powerful
They do not see the poor
Who are returning to yesterday
In prison, the bakers.
In prison, the bakers
They believed they were already barons
To starve the population
They did not care
In prison, the bakers.
Oh, what fun, what a beautiful whim
When justice came
And said: "Now what do you hope for?"
Pay today what you owed yesterday
In prison, the bakers.
