Lyrics and translation Teresa De Sio - Tamburo

Tamburo

Ma che d'è e va a verè
Miez'a via stanno suonanno 'o tamburo
Mo' care 'a bomba, sì, bomba no
E nun se po' sapè

Ma che d'è ma va a verè
St'anno buona l'hanno fatta 'a pensata
Mo' care 'a bomba, sì, bomba no
E nun ce fa campà

E nuje cammenammo sott'o cielo
E tirammo 'a carretta sott'o cielo
A cammenà
E chi va suonanno stu tamburo
Fa parè chistu munno scuro scuro
Scuro e addovà

Ma che d'è, ma pecchè
Stu martiello 'ncapo nun ce dà pace
Mo' care 'a bomba, sì, bomba no
E nun ce fa campà

Ma cu 'e bombe a guerra o cu 'e parole
Vene 'o viento 'nfuocato e che calore
E so' bucie
Ce vonno mettere paura
Ma nuje dammola 'nfaccia a sta paura
Che nun ce fa campà

Pò suonà o tamburo
Ei! Bomba, nun ce fa scuppià
Ei! Pò suonà 'o tamburo
Nuje simmo e fierro
E nun ce fa male
Nuje simmo e fierro
E nun ce pò fa male
Nuje simmo e fierro e tu
Nun c'o può fa verè

Ma che d'è, va a verè
Chiste overo c'hanno fatto 'o pensiero
Mo' care 'a bomba, sì, bomba no
E nun ce fa campà

E chi tante promesse nun mantiene
Tu ca si bomba, oi!
Bomba fallo bene, fallo scuppià
E nuje che cantammo miez'a via
Nuje campammo cent'anni 'a faccia soja
Bomba no, no, nun è

Pò suonà o tamburo
Ei! Bomba, nun ce fa scuppià
Ei! Pò suonà 'o tamburo
Nuje simmo e fierro
E nun ce fa male
Nuje simmo e fierro
E nun ce pò fa male
Nuje simmo e fierro e tu

Pò suonà o tamburo
Ei! Bomba, nun ce fa scuppià
Ei! Pò suonà 'o tamburo
Ei!

Drum

But what is it and go and see
They're playing the drum in the middle of the street
Now darling, bomb, yes, bomb no
And it can't be known

But what is it but go and see
This year they've come up with a good idea
Now darling, bomb, yes, bomb no
And it won't let us live

And we were walking under the sky
And we were pulling the cart under the sky
Walking
And who goes playing this drum
Makes this world look dark dark
Dark and where

But what is it, but why
This hammer doesn't give us peace
Now darling, bomb, yes, bomb no
And it won't let us live

But with the bombs in the war or with the words
There comes the fiery wind and oh what heat
And they're lies
They want to make us afraid
But we face this fear down
That won't let us live

May the drum play
Hey! Bomb, don't you make us explode
Hey! May the drum play
We are iron
And it doesn't hurt us
We are iron
And it can't hurt us
We are iron and you
Can't make that happen

But what is it, go and see
These ones really have had an idea
Now darling, bomb, yes, bomb no
And it won't let us live

And who doesn't keep so many promises
You, that are a bomb, oh!
Bomb do it well, make it explode
And we that sing in the middle of the street
We live a hundred years in its very face
Bomb no, no, it's not

May the drum play
Hey! Bomb, don't you make us explode
Hey! May the drum play
We are iron
And it doesn't hurt us
We are iron
And it can't hurt us
We are iron and you

May the drum play
Hey! Bomb, don't you make us explode
Hey! May the drum play
Hey!
