Paroles et traduction Enzo Avitabile & Mory Kante - Mane e Mane

Mane e Mane

'Na stella guard'o munno
E dint'o munno se perde
E chi è tempesta 'e notte
Mare addiventa
E l'acqua 'nfonn' 'e pann'
E arrugginisc' 'e cannune
Neve d' 'o deserto
Salvi lo vesuvio

Mane e mane
Int' 'a stu fridd' che fa
'O viento ca vene
'O viento ca va
Mane e mane
Sott' a 'nu cielo zulu
'O vient pe' sempe
'O vient mai 'cchiù

Béka lon
Béka lon koo moloulé dèla
Kambolo di gnogoma
Béka lon
Béka lon koo moloulé dèla
Kahakilike keléndi keléndi

E chi nun cunusce 'o scuro
Nun po' capì 'a luce
Nisciuno sape 'a nato
Ognuno è sulo
'Na stella guard'o munno
E dint'o munno se move
E chi è erba argento
Ghiaccio s' arretrova
E ll'acqua 'nfonn' 'e nave
Arrugginisce 'e catene
'E valig' c'o' spavo
'E paur d'aier

Konko yè moloukan
Cbèlèya ye moloukan
Kèlè mabori lèno wokèla
Yankaro yé moloukan
Toroya yé moloukan
Kèlè maborì lèno wokèla
Alouye mirissa anyé fara
Kèlema tougna

Mane e mane
Int' 'a stu friddo che fa
'O viento ca viene
'O viento ca va
Mane e mane
Sott' a 'nu cielo zulu
'O vient pe' sempe
'O vient mai 'cchiù

Bèka lon
Bèka lon koo moloulè déla
Kambolo di gnogoma
Béka lon
Béka lon koo moloulè déla
Kahakilike keléndi

Mane e Mane

A star surveys the world
And gets lost within it
And what is a tempest during the night
Becomes the ocean
And the water sinks the clothes
And the cannons rust
Snow of the desert
Saves the Vesuvius

Every morning
In this dreadful cold
The wind comes
The wind goes
Every morning
Under a Zulu sky
The wind always blows
The wind never blows

Béka lon
Béka lon koo moloulé dèla
Kambolo di gnogoma
Béka lon
Béka lon koo moloulé dèla
Kahakilike keléndi keléndi

And he who does not know the dark
Cannot understand the light
No one knows their future
Each one stands alone
A star surveys the world
And moves within it
And what is silvery grass
Turns out to be ice
And the water sinks the ships
The chains rust
The suitcases with the string
The fears of yesterday

Konko yè moloukan
Cbèlèya ye moloukan
Kèlè mabori lèno wokèla
Yankaro yé moloukan
Toroya yé moloukan
Kèlè maborì lèno wokèla
Alouye mirissa anyé fara
Kèlema tougna

Every morning
In this dreadful cold
The wind comes
The wind goes
Every morning
Under a Zulu sky
The wind always blows
The wind never blows

Bèka lon
Bèka lon koo moloulè déla
Kambolo di gnogoma
Béka lon
Béka lon koo moloulè déla
Kahakilike keléndi
