Paroles et traduction Domenico Modugno - Lu minaturi

Lu minaturi

S'auza 'u minaturi
Alla matina alli tri
Cu micci e bómmi 'ncoddu
Va a fatiàri...

Suda suda suda suda
Sutta lu suli cucenti cucenti
Rumpe rumpe 'a muntagna
E metti li mini, li micci, li bummi
E grida: - Ah, attenzioni a li bómbi! -

Si spacca la muntagna
La terra si sfracína
Ah

Suda suda suda suda
Sutta lu suli cucenti cucenti
Rumpe rumpe 'a muntagna
E metti li mini, li micci, li bommi
E grida: - Ah, attenzioni a li bombi! -

Ma la muntagna è forti
E quarche jórnu amaru
A casa cchiù nun torna...

Suda suda suda suda...

The Miner

The miner wakes up
In the morning at three
With pickaxe and explosives on his back
He goes to work...

He sweats, sweats, sweats, sweats
Under the burning, burning sun
He breaks, breaks the mountain
And sets the mines, the pickaxes, the explosives
And shouts: - Ah, watch out for the explosives! -

The mountain splits open
The earth shatters
Ah

He sweats, sweats, sweats, sweats
Under the burning, burning sun
He breaks, breaks the mountain
And sets the mines, the pickaxes, the explosives
And shouts: - Ah, watch out for the explosives! -

But the mountain is strong
And some bitter day
He doesn't return home...

He sweats, sweats, sweats, sweats...
