Paroles et traduction Enzo Avitabile - Quando la felicità non la vedi cercala dentro

Quando la felicità non la vedi cercala dentro

Tozzol' 'e pan' nun se po' sta riun'
Goccia r'acqua e che rre' o' desert'
Port' e cor' apiert'
Mai sul'
Carezz' rroc' misericordia
Comm' stai ruggin' e cancell'
Terr' po' ciel' rint' all'uocchie nchius'

Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'

Ragg' 'e lun' anema cunfus'
M'parem' chell'che t'è m'parat'
Meglio nu' no quann' è nu sì alla vita
Chest'è ma nun' è succiess' nient'
Nun te fa piglia', puort' pacienz
Na' parol' o'ver e nu' surris'

Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'

Addo' na' vot' era mar' verd'
Mo' sol' pece e cement'
Addo' Alfons' nascett' stell'
Pe' tutti gli ultim' da' terr'
N'gopp' e culonn' 'e Scampia
A Marianella, aret' 'a casa mia
Ce sta scritt' sta fras'
Ca' ric' tutt' cos':

Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'
Quann'a felicità nunn'a vir', cercala rint'

Zitt' e allucc'
Zitt' e allucc'

When you can't see happiness, look inside

A piece of bread can't be shared
A drop of water is a king in the desert
Open your heart and door
Never alone
Mercy rocks the caress
How you are rusting and fading
Earth becomes sky in closed eyes

When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside

Moonbeam, confused soul
You seem like what you've become to me
Better no than a yes that's no life
This is mine but nothing's happened
Don't let it get you down, be patient
A word of truth or a smile

When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside

Where once there was a green sea
Now there's only oil and cement
Where Alphonse was born a star
For all the last of the earth
On the columns of Scampia
In Marianella, behind my home
These words are written
They say it all:

When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside
When you can't see happiness, look inside

Hush, little owls
Hush, little owls
