Paroles et traduction Enzo Avitabile - Sango e Grano

Sango e Grano

Core... core pezzente e contadino
Core nu poc zingar in cammino
Core ca nù fà mai nu juorn e fest core
Core .core spaesat e jastemmat core
Core alluccat annanz a dio
Core juto all'inferno e pò turnat core
Nu piezz e terr nir nir cummo è ò pane
Scartann pret e pret cu ll'uocchie chiù luntan
E ancora pret e terr terra abbruciata
Acalat sotto o sol e spall e e man signat
Miezzjuorn par già riman
Addò era sanghe mò è grano
Miezzjuorn e nu me par over
Addò tutto era oro mò è male
Core... core affannat ca se sceta sempe
E not fridd cu l'addore e l'evra
Ca saglie e te fa cumpagnia core
Na goccia r'acqua.acqua ca nun lev set
Nu tappet e stell o' vient miezz e ddete
E ancora acqua e set core asciuttate
Surat sott o' cielo suror nguoll asciuttat
Miezzjuorn par già riman...
Core core core core

Blood and Wheat

Heart... wretched and peasant heart
Heart a bit of a gypsy on the road
Heart that never takes a day off, restless heart
Heart... bewildered and cursed heart
Heart that kneels before God
Heart that went to hell and then came back, heart
A piece of black earth like bread
Discarded by priests with distant eyes
And again priests and land, scorched earth
Scorched under the sun and marked shoulders and hands
Noon seems to linger
Where there was blood, now there is wheat
Noon and it doesn't seem real to me
Where everything was gold, now there is evil
Heart... weary heart that always wakes up
And cold nights with the scent of the ivy
That climbs and keeps you company, heart
A drop of water that does not quench thirst
A carpet of stars where the wind weaves its way
And still water and thirst, parched heart
Smiling under the sky, dry throat smiling
Noon seems to linger...
Heart heart heart heart
