Lyrics and translation Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare - Pè Dispietto

Pè Dispietto

Canto pe′ dispietto,
Pe' chi se crede ca sto zitto.
Canto pe′ cantà,
Pe' tutt[e storie 'a raccuntà, Ca forse nun se ponno di′E ca nisciuno vò sentì... Canto pe′ dispietto, Pe' tutt]o male ca s′è fatto.
Canto pe' cantà,
Pe′ chi nun se vò accuntentà,
Pe' chi se crede meglio ′e ll'ate
Sulo pecché cchiù 'ncopp′è nato,
Se sape ′a storia è sempe chella,
Chi nasce preta e chi 'na stella...
Ccà nun se parla cchiù,
E sott[o stesso cieloFatto pe′ 'ncantà, Stammo senza ce guardà... Ccà nun se parla cchiù, Se và sempe fujenno, E ′a vita se ne va, Senza storie 'a raccuntà... Canto pe′ cantà, Pe' chi nun sape cchiù aspettà, Pe' tutt]o tiempo ca è passato
E nun ce simme maie truvate...
Canto pe′ dispietto,
E ′o core sbatte forte 'mpietto
Sapenno forse ca ce sta
′Na strada ca ce fa 'ncuntrà...
Ccà nun se parla cchiù,
E sott[o stesso cielo, Fatto pe]ncantà,
Stammo senza ce guardà...
Ccà nun se parla cchiù,
Se va sempe fujenno,
E ′a vita se ne va,
Senza storie 'a raccuntà...

Pè Dispietto

I sing out of spite,
For those who think I'm being quiet.
I sing to sing,
To tell all the stories that maybe can't be told and that nobody wants to hear... I sing out of spite, for all the wrong that has been done.
I sing to sing,
For those who don't want to be content,
For those who think they're better than others
Just because they were born higher up,
It's always the same old story,
Some are born as stones and some as stars...
There's no more talking here,
And under the same sky made for enchanting,
We stand without looking at each other... There's no more talking here, we're always running away, and life goes on, with no stories to tell... I sing to sing, for those who can't wait any longer, for all the time that has passed,
And we have never found each other...
I sing out of spite,
And my heart beats strongly in my chest,
Knowing that perhaps there is
A path that will bring us together...
There's no more talking here,
And under the same sky, made to enchant,
We stand without looking at each other...
There's no more talking here, we're always running away,
And life goes on,
With no stories to tell...
