Paroles et traduction Alfio Antico - Lu vermi

Lu vermi

Plasci plasci...

U celu criau a terra
A terra criau i ciuma
I ciuma crianu i fossi
I fossi crianu u fangu
U fangu criau u vermi
U verme sbummicò fuora
Dicennu: "Iaju fami, iaju fami"
Rispunniu u diu di la giustizia:
"Iu ti rugnu ficu sicchi e pirricoca"
U vermi: "Ma chi caspitina mi ni fazzu di ficu sicchi e pirricoca
Chiuttostu levimi di lu fangu c'accupu, nun mu meritu...
E mettimi a menzu a li masciddi
Sutta e renti fra i gingili di l'omo
Unni ju possu sucari sangu
E nutrirmi di li so radici"
"No, questo non si può!"

Plasci plasci...

The Worm

Squish, squish...

The sky created the earth
The earth created the hills
The hills created the ditches
The ditches created the mud
The mud created the worm
The worm crawled out
Saying: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry"
The god of justice replied:
"I'll give you dried figs and apricots"
The worm: "But what the heck do I do with dried figs and apricots
Rather take me out of the mud where I belong, I don't deserve it...
And put me in the middle of the jaws
Underneath and inside of the man's gums
Where I can suck blood
And feed on its roots"
"No, that can't be!"

Squish, squish...
