Lyrics and translation Pino Daniele - Lazzari Felici

Lazzari Felici

Siamo lazzari felici
Gente ca nun trova cchi? pace
Quanno canta se dispiace
? Sempe pronta a se vutt?'
Pe nun perdere l'addore...
Simmo lazzari felici
Male 'e rine ma nun se dice
Musicante senza permesso 'e ce guard?'
E cu 'e spalle sotto 'e casce
Nun se sente cchi? l'addore 'e mare
C'o volto santo 'mpietto
E 'a guerra dint'e mmane
Sapenno ca? fernuto
Si haj? asc?' po' fatte 'a croce
Camm? nanno nun puo' f?' pace
Aiza 'a capa e so' tutte 'nciuc?
Ca nun se ponno acchiapp?'
E c'a faccia gi? scippata
'A chesta musica ca? mariola
Pe' dinto 'e carusielle
S'arrobba 'a vita e sona
Sapenno ca? fernuta
E intanto passa stu noveciento
Passammo nuje s'acconcia 'o tiempo
Si arape 'o stipo saje add?' staje
E nun t? scuord? maje.
E intanto passa stu noveciento
Cammisa 'a fora 'ncuorpo t'o ssient?
E riest? all'ierta tutt'a nuttata
Pensanno add?' si' stato.

Happy Lazari

We are happy lazzari
People who can't find peace
When we sing, we regret
Always ready to jump in
So as not to lose the scent...
We are happy lazzari
Evil of the kidneys but we don't tell
Street musicians without permission to look at us
And with our shoulders under the boxes
We can no longer smell the sea
With the holy face on our chest
And the war in our hands
Knowing that when it's over
If you have to go up, you have to make the sign of the cross
Walking barefoot, you can't find peace
Raise your head and they are all entangled
That they can't be caught
And with a torn face
To this sweet music
In the merry-go-rounds
We steal life and play
Knowing that it's over
And in the meantime this twentieth century passes
We pass by, time is getting ready
If you open the cupboard you know where you are
And never forget it.
And in the meantime this twentieth century passes
Shirt outside, you feel it in your body
And you stay on the lookout all night long
Thinking about where you've been.
