Paroles et traduction Alfio Antico - Trema la terra

Trema la terra

Visti 'n tratturi sballari na muntagna
Lu pruvulazzi chianari 'nta li celi
Visti lu ventu dannatu cu lu mari
E lu cicluni balla e ridi e s'arricria

Trema la terra e tuttu lu so statu
Tremunu tutti supra sta terra
Chiangino i funti ca nun hannu piccatu
Tremunu i morti tutti in sepultura

Furria, avanza
Comu nu strummulo
Ammogghia, sfascia
Jetta tuttu all'aria
Fuma, curri a fari e diri
Nuddu po firmari
U tempo e la so via

Visti 'n tratturi sballari na muntagna
Ie piriterri calari lu fangazzu
Visti l'aceddi sciarriati cu lu cantu
E lu cicluni balla e ridi e s'arricria

Vacchi e jenchi, crapi, pecuri e agniddazzi
Manzujeti pasceunu, cuenti na sti valli
Muligna, campani e campaneddi, l'armunia tra li campi
Giujennu gli antenati
Ora chianci la storia, lu tempu e la memoria
Chianci la luci, lu scuru ca si stuta

Visti 'n tratturi sballari na muntagna

The Earth Trembles

I saw a mountain crumble on a ridge
The clouds drift away into the sky
I saw the cursed wind with the sea
And the cyclone dances and laughs and cries

The earth trembles and its entire state
Everyone trembles upon this earth
The fountains weep for they have not sinned
All the dead tremble in their graves

Fury, advance
Like a spinning top
Flatten, destroy
Throw everything into the air
Smoke, run to do and say
No one can stop
Time and its way

I saw a mountain crumble on a ridge
The landslides bring down the mud
I saw the birds quarrel with their song
And the cyclone dances and laughs and cries

Cows and heifers, goats, sheep and lambs
They graze contently in these valleys
Windmills, bells and chimes, the harmony among the fields
The ancestors rejoice
Now history, time and memory weep
The light weeps, the darkness is extinguished

I saw a mountain crumble on a ridge
