Lyrics and translation Rino Gaetano - E Berta filava (Live)

E Berta filava (Live)

Berta filava e filava la lana,
La lana e l'amianto
Del vestito del santo che andava sul rogo
E mentre bruciava
Urlava e piangeva e la gente diceva:
"Anvedi che santo vestito d'amianto"
E Berta filava e filava con Mario
E filava con Gino
E nasceva il bambino che non era di Mario
Che non era di Gino
E Berta filava, filava a dritto,
E filava di lato
E filava, filava e filava la lana

E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E Berta filava,
E Berta filava e filava la lana,
Filava l'amianto del vestito del santo che andava sul rogo
E mentre bruciava urlava e piangeva
E la gente diceva: "Anvedi che santo
Vestito d'amianto" E Berta filava, filava con Mario, filava con Gino
E nasceva il bambino che urlava e piangeva
E la gente diceva: "Anvedi che santo"
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E filava, filava
E Berta filava, e Berta filava, filava con Gino,
Filava il bambino cullava cullava, filava l'amianto

Berta Was Spinning (Live)

Berta was spinning and spinning wool,
The wool and asbestos
From the saint's robe who was walking towards the pyre
And while he was burning
He screamed and cried and people said:
"Look at that saint dressed in asbestos"
And Berta was spinning and spinning with Mario
And spinning with Gino
And the child was born who was not Mario's
Who was not Gino's
And Berta was spinning, spinning straight,
And spinning sideways
And she spun, spun and spun wool

And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And Berta spun,
And Berta spun and spun wool,
Spun asbestos from the robe of the saint who was walking towards the pyre
And while he was burning he screamed and cried
And people said: "Look at that saint
Dressed in asbestos" And Berta spun, spun with Mario, spun with Gino
And the child was born who screamed and cried
And people said: "Look at that saint"
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And spun, spun
And Berta spun, and Berta spun, spun with Gino,
Spun the child rocked rocked, spun the asbestos
