Lyrics and translation Teresa De Sio - A sud a sud




A sud a sud
Far, Far Away
Scetàteve guagliune e malavita
Wake up lads and scum
Ca nun ce sta speranza int' a sta serenata
There is no hope in this serenade
Chi scenne pa sti vvie nun trova fatica
Whoever walks down these streets finds no work
Si nun t'affoga 'o mare t'ha ggià affugato 'a vita
If the sea doesn't drown you, life already has
'O piscatore 'mbriaco s'ha perduto 'o pesce
The drunken fisherman has lost his fish
Chille era n'ommo tuosto e s'è fatto musce
He was a tough man and now he's become a fly
Allarme, allarme, simmo tutta gente 'nziste
Alarm, alarm, we are all foolish people
P'o juorno d'a madonna ce mettimmo a festa
We'll throw a party for the day of the Lady
A sud! A sud!...
Far, Far Away!...
Fronna 'e limone 'e chi sta 'ncatenato
Lemon leaves for those in chains
Brigante e brigantesse simmo addeventate
We've become highwaymen and highwaywomen
Scatènate tempesta tutto 'o puorto
Let loose a storm throughout the port
Ca' nun m'avite vivo e nun m'avite muorto
You don't have me alive and you don't have me dead
E porto 'sta bannera comm'a na croce
And I carry this banner like a cross
Faciteme cantà ca sto buono a voce
Let me sing because I have a good voice
Faciteme cantà ca sto buono a voce
Let me sing because I have a good voice
Faciteme cantà ca sto buono a voce
Let me sing because I have a good voice
A sud! A sud!...
Far, Far Away!...
