Cchi Voli Riri

Stanotti
M'anzunnai
Ca c'erunu 'sti spini
Com'a chiddi re ficurinia
C'avvulaunu strati strati e s'anficcaunu 'nta carni re cristiani
E 'sti spini
Erunu spiddi 'ntilliggenti
Ca ti manciaunu u ciriveddu
E 'nta nenti
Addivintavi pazzu
Ma 'sti pazzi si crireunu ognunu ca erunu cchiu bon'i l'autru
E c'aveunu ognunu
Chiu ragiuni e sensiu ri l'autru
A tipu ca i cosi ca riceunu
Erunu i cchiu giusti
Allura paisi
Città
E pupulazioni sani
S'anfittaru e ficiru cosi niuri
Ca ognunu pinsava a so ragiuni
E non si capeunu
E si taliaunu ri malocchiu
L'unu ccu l'autru
E s'abbatteunu u pettu
Chianceunu
Si muzzicaunu i manu
Allura s'accumincianu a 'mmazzari
E ficiru armati
Ma st'armati
'Nto mentri ca marciaunu
Si pigghiaunu a muzzucuni
E si scannaunu
E si manciaunu 'n fra iddi stissi
Suddatu ccu suddatu
I campani sunaunu a chiamata
Ma nuddu sapeva cu è ca chiamava
E cu è ca era chiamatu
L'arvuli si ficiru sicchi
Ci fu focu e caristia
E tuttu e tutti mureunu
Cchi voli riri?

Cchi Voli Riri

Last night
I dreamed
That there were these thorns
Like those in the fig tree
That wrap themselves around and pierce the flesh of Christians
And these thorns
Were intelligent needles
That ate your brain
And in nothing flat
You went mad
But these madmen each believed they were better than the others
And each had
More reason and sense than the others
According to what they said
Was the most right
So towns
Cities
And whole populations
Became entangled and did terrible things
Because each one thought only of their own reasons
And they did not understand each other
And they looked at each other with the evil eye
One to another
And beat their breasts
They wept
They bit their hands
So they began to kill each other
And they made armies
But these armies
As they marched
Began to bite and
Butcher each other
And eat themselves among themselves
Soldier with soldier
The bells rang the alarm
But no one knew who was calling
And who was being called
The trees withered
There was fire and famine
And everything and everyone died
What do you want to laugh at?
