Paroles et traduction Cesare Basile - Sette Spade

Sette Spade

Grazie alle sette spade che ha piantato
La colpa si è venuta a presentare:
"Leva le gambe tue da questo regno!"
Ti ha preso il fiato e ti ha rotto l'ingegno.

Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,
Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,

Così alle otto le han tolto la strada,
Mentre cascava il cielo alla collina;
La lingua ti diceva: "aiuto! aiuto!",
Alle otto e mezza porti la ferita.

Lei mangia terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane.
Lei mangia terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane.

Le nove, il petto le han strappato e gli occhi
E non c'è stato santo nè comunione,
Grazia che compassione chiedi al fango,
Il fango ha sette lacrime di pianto.

Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,
Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,

Le nove e un quarto e hai avuto il tuo dovere:
Sparata in testa a gloria dei ruffiani;
Sputata come cane dai signori
Le nove e un quarto e hai avuto il tuo dovere.

Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,
Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,

Due giorni dopo le brave persone
Passarono da casa a visitare;
Ognuna aveva in bocca carne e pietre;
Due giorni dopo le brave persone

Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane.
Tu mangi terra e loro mangian pane,
Sorella, mangi terra e loro pane,

Seven Spades

Due to the seven spades that it has planted
The blame has now come present itself:
"Remove your legs from this kingdom!"
It has taken your breath and broken your genius.

You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,
You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,

Therefore, at eight o'clock they have taken her away,
While the sky was falling to the hill;
Your tongue was telling you: "help! help!",
At eight-thirty you carry the wound.

She eats earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread.
She eats earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread.

At nine o'clock, they tore out her chest and her eyes,
And there was no saint or communion,
Grace that compassion you ask of the mud,
The mud has seven tears of crying.

You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,
You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,

At nine-fifteen and you have had your duty:
Shot in the head for the glory of the ruffians;
Spitted as a dog by the lords
At nine-fifteen and you have had your duty.

You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,
You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,

Two days later the good people
Passed by the house to visit;
Each one had in their mouth flesh and stones;
Two days later the good people

You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread.
You eat earth and they eat bread,
Sister, you eat earth and they bread,
