Paroles et traduction Cesare Basile - Cincu pammi

Cincu pammi

Mi fici 'n lignu
Di mennula amara
Nta cincu pammi
C'è tutta la scola
Nta cincu pammi
Ci capi na vita
Nta cincu pammi di sfida

Passu cu passu
Lu fazzu furriari
Puntu annavanti
E mi vaddu darreri
Mi giru a cammara
Rota lu lignu
Poi cu tri passi
La tagghiu

'Nsigniti comu
Si movi a tartuca
A'ntrasatta
La buffa rivota
Pari na rosa e su centu cantara
Ah, cu la tagghia ssa cura?

Gira furria
Vota sauta e tramuta
Cancia cuntinuu lu joucu da rota
Sonnura sunnu
Tu falli jucari
Nta cincu pammi di spini
Sonnura sunnu
Tu falli jucari
Nta cincu pammi di spini

Cincu pammi

I made a wooden toy
Of bitter almond tree
In five spans
There's the whole school
In five spans
A life fits in it
In five spans of challenge

Step by step
I drill it
Point forward
And I walk behind it
I turn around the room
I break the toy
Then with three steps
I cut it

Just like how
A turtle moves
In seven-eighths
The wheel turns
It looks like a rose and weighs a hundred pounds
Ah, who can cut it?

It spins fast
It turns, jumps, and transforms
It constantly changes the game of the wheel
It's a dream
You make it play
In five spans of thorns
It's a dream
You make it play
In five spans of thorns
