Paroles et traduction Nino D'Angelo - Immagini

Immagini

Quando inte all'alba, se scetava 'o Sole
'O mare grigio, addeventava blu
Nu piscatore viecchio riturnava
Cu 'a faccia stanca 'e chi nun ce 'a fà cchiù
Na vicchiarella l'aspettava, cu 'o viento nfaccia
E a coppe 'o mole
E si spugliavano 'e paure
Quando 'o vedevo 'e riturnà

E tu, dinte 'a st'immagini 'e felicità
Venive a me 'ncuntrà
E io, già t'aspettavo primma e t'aspettà
Nun ce 'a facevo cchiù
Pecchè tu ire nata, pecchè tu esistive
Pecchè tu m'ive date qualcosa
Ca niente e nisciuno me puteve dà

Nu guagliunciello sulo ghieva 'a scola
'A mamma do balcone se 'o guardava
Nu cane cammenava sotto 'o muro
Cu ll'uocchie e 'a coda e quanne era felice
'O porta lettere chiammava
Na nnammurata rispunneva
'O pizzaiolo che cantava: "A pizza è cavera
'A vulite!"

E tu, dinte 'a st'immagini 'e felicità
Venive a me 'ncuntrà
E io, già t'aspettavo primma e t'aspettà
Nun ce 'a facevo cchiù
Pecchè tu ire nata, pecchè tu esistive
Pecchè tu m'ive date qualcosa
Ca niente e nisciuno me puteve dà!!!

Quant'anne sò? Me pare aiere
Eppure, è tantu tiempo fà
Songhe cagnate tanta cose
Se sò cagnate 'e verità
'O piscatore, ha perso 'o mare
Nisciuno 'e scrive 'e nnammurate
E chillu llà che ghieva a scola
Mò tene 'e braccia tutte bucate

E nuie, senza 'e st'immagini 'e felicità
Nun ce firamme 'e stà
E nuie, stamme affunnanno dinte 'a libertà
Nun ce 'a facimme cchiù
Pe sti cose sbagliate, e stu munno vennuto
'O Signore ce ha date na Vita, e nuie chesta Vita
L'amma rispettà!

Images

When at dawn, the sun awoke
The gray sea, turned blue
An old fisherman returned
With the tired face of one who can't do it anymore
An old woman waited for him, with the wind in her face
And she covered the pier
And they shed their fears
When I saw him return

And you, within these images of happiness
Came to meet me
And I, already waited for you before and waited for you
I couldn't take it anymore
Because you were born, because you exist
Because you gave me something
That nothing and no one could give me

A little boy went to school alone
His mother watched him from the balcony
A dog walked under the wall
With its eyes and tail wagging when it was happy
The mailman called
A girl in love answered
The pizza maker who sang: "The pizza is ready
Do you want it!"

And you, within these images of happiness
Came to meet me
And I, already waited for you before and waited for you
I couldn't take it anymore
Because you were born, because you exist
Because you gave me something
That nothing and no one could give me!!!

How many years have passed? It seems like yesterday
And yet, it's been so long
So many things have changed
Truths have changed
The fisherman, has lost the sea
No one writes love letters anymore
And that boy who went to school
Now has his arms full of holes (track marks)

And we, without these images of happiness
Can't stand to be
And we, are drowning in freedom
We can't take it anymore
For these wrong things, and this world that has come
The Lord has given us a Life, and we this Life
Must respect it!
