Paroles et traduction Nino D'Angelo - 'Na Mamma

'Na Mamma

Quanne na mamma vo′ parlà nun tiene tiempe ra sentì
A mette a ret tutt' e cose, tante na mamma po′ aspettà,
E sule quanne se fa viecchie
E ti pigliane e rimorse tu a vulisse accuntentà
Quanne na mamma sta malate sa 'nascunne a malattia
Pecche sule esse vuo suffrì
E te regale nu surrise
Quanne cirche cocc cose
Te vo sempe accuntentà.
E te pense, e te cummuoglie quanne staj durmenne,
Comme si fosse sempe piccerille, te ven a accarezzà,
Ma nun te fa scetà
E te guarda s'accorge ca tu ancora l′assomiglie,
Ma dint o core suoj comm′è cuntente,
O tiempo vo fermà, pe nun se fa lassà.
Quanne na mamma nun ce sta, ti veste sul a cammenà,
A stessa strada mille vote nun te vulisse maj fermà,
Guardanne o tiempo che è passate
Vire tutte chell che 'e scuntate,
Nun t′aspette niente cchiu,
Quanne na mamma se n'è ghiute vire o tren che è partute,
E non lo puo cchiu piglià,
E t′appienne all'ansia ca te piglie,
E na fumata e sigarette, a na via che è fatte già.
E si sule, cu l′uocchie fuse abbagnane i ricorde
Quanne turnave e t'arrapeve a porte e s'aggrappave a tte,
Nun te lassave cchiu
E si sule, cuntann l′ore l′attime e minute
Vulisse rà nu cavece a sta vita
Ma a vita e chesta cca', e tu a sapive gia′
Ca 'na mamma nun ta può acatta′, nisciune cchiu ta rà
'Na mamme.

'My Mom'

When a mother wants to talk, she doesn't have time to listen
To put all the things in order, a mother can wait so much,
And only when she gets old
And you are taken by remorse, you want to please her
When a mother is sick, she hides her illness
Because she only wants to suffer alone
And she gives you a smile
When you look for something
She always wants to please you.
And she thinks of you, and she gets moved when you are sleeping,
As if you were always a little girl, she comes to caress you,
But she doesn't wake you up
And she looks at you, she realizes that you still resemble her,
But in her heart she is so happy,
That she wants to stop time, so she doesn't have to leave you.
When a mother is not there, she makes you walk alone on the road,
The same road a thousand times, you never want to stop,
Looking at the time that has passed
See all that you have missed,
You don't expect anything more,
When a mother is gone, you see the train that has left,
And you can't take it anymore,
And you feel the anxiety that takes you,
And a puff of cigarette, on a road that is already done.
And you are alone, with your eyes full of tears, your memories
When you came back and opened the door and clung to you,
She wouldn't let you go anymore
And you are alone, counting the hours, the moments and minutes
You want to put an end to this life,
But this is life, and you already knew it
That you can't buy a mother, nobody else will give it to you
A mother.
