Paroles et traduction Almamegretta - 'O sciore cchiù felice

'O sciore cchiù felice

Che suonno: cammenavo int′a nu prato
C' ′a cervella stevo assaje stunato
Tutt' ' a campagna era nu raggio ′e sole
Nun se senteva manco nu rummore
Sento ancora addure
Tengo ll′uocchie chine 'e tutti sti culure
Me regne ′o core stu paraviso
Ce manche sulo tu vicino a me!

Cammino ancora e veco mille sciure
N'arcobaleno′e mille culure
Spartuto ogni culore uno cu n'ato
Cu na gaiola ′e fierro filato.

Ce spiaje a nu sciore
PecchÈ nun ve piace 'e sta tutt'ammiscate?
Chillo ′a copp′ 'a mano me guardaje redenno e
Accuminciaje a canta′:

" 'o sciore cchiu felice È ′o sciore senza radice
Corre comme 'o cane senza fune, ′o sciore senza padrune".

All'intrasatta sponta n'ommo gruosso
Me ne fujette ′e pressa int′a nu fuosso
Chist'ommo cu na favece affilata
Tagliava ′e sciure p'e ppurta′ 'o mercato
Si p′a primma vota
Ncopp' ' a bancarella stevano ammiscate
UÈ c′appiccecate uno cu n′ato pe se fa' guarda′
E che dulore a essere tagliate,
Che confusione a nu tene' radice
Per

Still smelling the fragrance
My eyes are filled with all these colors
My heart rejoices in this paradise
Only you are missing by my side!

I walk on and see thousands of flowers
A rainbow of a thousand colors
Each color separated from the other
With an iron fence.

I asked a flower
Why don't you like to be all mixed up?
It looked at me from above, smiled, and
Began to sing:

"The happiest flower is the flower without roots
It runs like a dog without a leash, the flower without a master".

Suddenly a big man appears
I ran away in a hurry into a ditch
This man with a sharp sickle
Was cutting flowers to take to the market
For the first time
On the stall they were mixed together
To attract attention, they were tied together
And what a pain to be cut,
What a mess not to have roots
Because
