Ce Sta Chi Ce Penza (Remastered 2008)

Ma che puzza dinto a ′stu vico
Comme fa' ′a gente a campà'
Cu 'sta puzza sotto ′o naso
Ca nun se po′ cchiù suppurtà'
Mo′ chiamammo a quaccheduno; ccà quaccosa
S'adda fa′
Simmo sciemë o poco buonë
Forze è chesta 'a verità
Simmo sciemë o poco buonë
Forze è chesta ′a verità
E s'è rotta 'a sajettera
′A gente scrive ′e nummarielle
Ma qua' nummere e ′a culonna
Ce vo' l′aiuto d'à Maronna
Chi ce ′o dice a S. Gennaro
Ma 'a fernimmo cu' ′sta storia
Ccà scarzeano ′e denare e s'adda campà′
Ccà scarzeano 'e denare e s′adda campà'
Ma nun dà retta, ce sta chi ce penza
′Mmiezo a 'sta gente ce sta chi ce penza
Ma nun dà retta, ce sta chi ce penza
'Mmiezo a ′sta gente ce sta chi ce penza
E′ passata 'a prucessione
Pure chesta è tradizione
Se ne cadeno ′e palazze e a nuje ce abbrucia 'o
Mazzo
′A città è cchiù pulita ma ognuno mette 'o dito
E nce vo′ mangnà', e nce vo' mangnà′
′A città è cchiù pulita ma ognuno mette 'o dito
E nce vo′ mangnà', e nce vo′ mangnà'
E l′America è arrivata
Nce ha purtato tanti cose
So' tant'anne e tanta storia
E nun se ne và
S′è pigliato ′e meglio posti'e chesta città
Mentre nuje jettammo ′o sang'
Dinto ′e quartieri 'a Sanità
Mentre nuje jettammo ′o sang'
Dinto 'e quartieri ′a Sanità
Ma nun dà retta, ce sta chi ce penza
′Mmiezo a 'sta gente ce sta chi ce penza
Ma nun dà retta, ce sta chi ce penza
′Mmiezo a 'sta gente ce sta chi ce penza
Ma nun dà retta, ce sta chi ce penza
′Mmiezo a 'sta gente ce sta chi ce penza
Ma nun dà retta, ce sta chi ce penza
′Mmiezo a 'sta gente ce sta chi ce penza

Ce Sta Chi Ce Pensa (Remastered 2008)

But what a stench in this alley
How do people live
With this stench under their nose
That can no longer be endured
Let's call someone; here something
Must be done
Are we dumb or a little naive
Maybe that's the truth
Are we dumb or a little naive
Maybe that's the truth
And the arrow is broken
People write lottery numbers
But what numbers and what column
We need the help of the Madonna
Who will tell Saint Januarius
But let's finish with this story
Here money is scarce and we have to live
Here money is scarce and we have to live
But don't worry, there's someone who thinks about it
Among these people there's someone who thinks about it
But don't worry, there's someone who thinks about it
Among these people there's someone who thinks about it
The procession has passed
Even this is tradition
Palaces are falling down and our
Bouquet burns
The city is cleaner but everyone points the finger
And they want to eat, and they want to eat
The city is cleaner but everyone points the finger
And they want to eat, and they want to eat
And America has arrived
It has brought us so many things
So many years and so much history
And it doesn't go away
It has taken the best places in this city
While we shed blood
In the Sanità district
While we shed blood
In the Sanità district
But don't worry, there's someone who thinks about it
Among these people there's someone who thinks about it
But don't worry, there's someone who thinks about it
Among these people there's someone who thinks about it
But don't worry, there's someone who thinks about it
Among these people there's someone who thinks about it
But don't worry, there's someone who thinks about it
Among these people there's someone who thinks about it
