Paroles et traduction Franco Califano & Onof - Semo gente de borgata

Semo gente de borgata

′Na stanzetta in affitto è trovata, pe er momento va be'
Semo gente de borgata nun potemo pagà.

Da domani comincia er carvario, nun c′è altro da fa'
Finirà 'sto calendario e quarcosa cambierà
Semo ricchi de volontà...

Core mio, core mio, la speranza nun costa niente
Quanta gente c′ha tanti soldi e l′amore no
E stamo mejo noi che nun magnamo mai...

Core mio, core mio, la speranza nun costa niente
Se potrebbe sta' pure mejo ma che voi fa′
Per ora ce stai te, er resto ariverà...

Un lavoro magari a giornata, pe er momento va be'
Semo gente de borgata che alla vita ce tie′.
Semo nati da povera gente, è la nostra realtà
Ma de vie ce ne so' tante, tanti modi pe′ sfonnà
Ora annamoseli a cercà...

Core mio, core mio, la speranza nun costa niente
Quanta gente c'ha tanti soldi e l'amore no
E stamo mejo noi che nun magnamo mai...

Core mio, core mio...
Se potrebbe sta′ pure mejo, ma che voi fa′
Per ora ce stai te, er resto ariverà...
Per ora ce stai te, er resto ariverà...

We Are Slum People

We found a small rented room, it's okay for now
We are slum people, we can't afford it.

Tomorrow begins the ordeal, there's nothing else to do
This calendar will end, and something will change
We are rich in willpower...

My love, my love, hope doesn't cost a thing
How many people have so much money and no love?
And we are better off than those who never eat...

My love, my love, hope doesn't cost a thing
We could even be better off, but what can you do?
For now, I have you, the rest will come...

A day job maybe, for now it's okay
We are slum people who cling to life.
We were born to poor parents, that's our reality
But there are so many ways, so many ways to break through
Now let's go look for them...

My love, my love, hope doesn't cost a thing
How many people have so much money and no love?
And we are better off than those who never eat...

My love, my love...
We could even be better off, but what can you do?
For now, I have you, the rest will come...
For now, I have you, the rest will come...
