Paroles et traduction Eleonora Bordonaro - Omu a mari

Omu a mari

Nun è pisci ca si pisca
Nun è pisci ca si vinni
Nun è pisci ca si mangia
S'iddu è veru idda ti mancia
Senza jammi, a pettu nuru
Jancu latti duru duru
Idda sperta, bedda 'nserta
Rugginusa 'ntartarata
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru non si teni
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru non si teni

Omu a mari, omu a mari
Si jttaru, si tuffàru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
L'acchiappàru, s'u purtaru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
Si jttaru, si tuffàru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
L'acchiappàru, s'u purtaru
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni

S'idda chiama, s'idda canta
S'idda cuntam s'idda 'ncanta
Nun c'è omu ca si scugna
Si si spagna si si scanta
Iddu calam u stissu cala
Fera fimmina sirina
Fimminota ca camina
Va natannu fina fina
Rizza, niura e traffichina
Cuda longa e malandrina
Architetta e ti 'ncatina
Fera fimmina sirina
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni

Omu a mari, omu a mari
Si jttaru, si tuffàru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
L'acchiappàru, s'u purtaru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
Si jttaru, si tuffàru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
L'acchiappàru, s'u purtaru
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni

Omu a mari, omu a mari
Si jttaru, si tuffàru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
L'acchiappàru, s'u purtaru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
Si jttaru, si tuffàru
Omu a mari, omu a mari
L'acchiappàru, s'u purtaru
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni
Navi veni, 'ncugna veni
Marinaru nun si teni

Man o' the Sea

It's not fish that gets caught
It's not fish that gets sold
It's not fish that gets eaten
If that's true, she'll eat you
Without moving, her breasts are bare
White milk, hard and firm
She's lively, beautiful and cheerful
Rusty, encrusted
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on

Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They threw themselves in, they dove in
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They caught it, they took it away
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They threw themselves in, they dove in
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They caught it, they took it away
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on

If she calls, if she sings
If she tells, if she enchants
There's no man who doesn't get scared
If he gets frightened, if he gets scared
He lowers the same calam
Wild woman, siren
Little woman who walks
She swims very fast
Blonde, dark and lively
Long and wicked tail
Architect and she chains you up
Wild woman, siren
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on

Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They threw themselves in, they dove in
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They caught it, they took it away
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They threw themselves in, they dove in
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They caught it, they took it away
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on

Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They threw themselves in, they dove in
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They caught it, they took it away
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They threw themselves in, they dove in
Man o' the sea, man o' the sea
They caught it, they took it away
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on
Ship come, anchor come
Sailor can't hold on
