Paroles et traduction Giovanni d'Anzi - Lassa pur (ch'el mond el disa)

Lassa pur (ch'el mond el disa)

Se sa che a parlà de Milan se fa minga fadiga
Con tanti argoment per i mann el discors el scarliga
Ciappem per esempi i semafor, che gran maraviglia
Te par de vedé tanta gent a ballà la quadriglia.

Lassa pur ch'el mond el disa, ma Milan l'è on gran Milan
Pòrta Cicca e la Bovisa, che dintorni pròppi san
E la nebbia che bellezza, la va giò per i polmon,
E quand fiocca, che giòia, gh'è el Parco e i Bastion
Per scià senza andà al Mottaron,
Fa nagòtt se poeu pioeuv e andemm giò a tomborlon
In la poccia a poccià el panetton.

Se sa che a Milan gh'è in progett la metropolitana
Però ogni dì sto progett semper puu el s'allontana
In cambi num semm che in pittura Milan l'ha faa scoeula
Gh'è intorna domà cartellon del formagg Gorgonzoeula.

Lassa pur ch'el mond el disa, ma Milan l'è on gran Milan
El Carrobi e la via Brisa e el carrett dei ciappacan
Se te vet sul Monte Merlo, par de vess a San Vincent,
Cosa l'è Monte Carlo, Sanremo e Menton
In confront de l'Olòna e el Tombon
A Paris ch'è la Senna
E 'l Danubi l'è blu
Ma a Milan gh'è el navili e poeu puu.
Lassa pur...
Lassa pur ch'el mond el disa
Ma a Milan se stà benon
On bel piatt de busecca con dent i borlott
E on òss buss cont intorna el risòtt
E on litròtt de quel bon, cont on bel minestron
Fann content ogni milaneson.

Let it be (what the world says)

You know that talking about Milan is not difficult
With so many arguments for our side, the speech is getting spicy
Let's take for example the traffic lights, what a wonder
It makes you feel like you're watching people dancing the quadrille.

Let the world say what they want, but Milan is a great city
Porta Cicca and Bovisa, what great neighborhoods
And the fog, how beautiful, it goes down the lungs
And when it snows, what joy, there's the Park and the Bastions
To ski without going to Mottarone
It doesn't matter if it rains and we end up falling down
In the puddle to soak the panettone.

You know that in Milan there is a subway project
But every day this project seems to get further away
But at least in painting Milan has made its mark
There are only billboards for Gorgonzola cheese all around.

Let the world say what they want, but Milan is a great city
The Carrobi, Via Brisa, and the rag-and-bone man's cart
If you stand on Monte Merlo, it looks like you're in San Vincent
What's Monte Carlo, Sanremo, and Menton
Compared to the Olona and the Tombon?
In Paris, there's the Seine
And the Danube is blue
But in Milan, there's the canals and more.
Let it be...
Let it be, what the world says
But in Milan, you'll be fine
A nice plate of tripe with borlotti beans in it
And a knucklebone with risotto around it
And a liter of that good wine, with a nice minestrone
Will make every Milanese happy.
