Paroles et traduction Orchestraccia - Le cose come stanno

Le cose come stanno

Passa un maiale e je dico ciao maiale
Passa un somaro e je dico ciao somaro
Forse ste bestie nun me capiranno
Ma armeno dico le cose come stanno
Er deputato a dilla tra de noi
Ar comizio ce andiede contro voja
Tant'è che a me me disse: Oddio che noia
E' vero me lo disse, si ma poi
Sai come principiò Dice: E' con gioia
Che vengo o cittadini in mezzo a voi
Pe onorà li martiri e l'eroi
Vittime der pontefice e der boia
Passa un maiale e je dico ciao maiale
Passa un somaro e je dico ciao somaro
Forse ste bestie nun me capiranno
Ma armeno dico le cose come stanno
E lì rimise fora l'ideali,
Li schiavi, li tiranni, le catene,
Il re, li preti e l'anticlericali
Eppoi parlò de li princii sui:
E allora pianse, pianse così bene
Che quasi ce rideva puro lui
Passa un maiale e je dico ciao maiale
Passa un somaro e je dico ciao somaro
Forse ste bestie nun me capiranno
Ma armeno dico le cose come stanno
Passa un maiale e je dico ciao maiale
Passa un somaro e je dico ciao somaro
Forse ste bestie nun me capiranno
Ma armeno dico le cose come stanno
Perché se c'hai davanti a te
Un deputato un prete, un re
Te fa paura a respirà
Nun c'hai er coraggio de parlà
E co sta bella giacca blu
Te sei adeguato pure tu
E adesso è solo per viltà
Non dici più la verità
Passa un maiale e je dico ciao maiale
Passa un somaro e je dico ciao somaro
Forse ste bestie nun me capiranno
Ma armeno dico le cose come stanno
Ma armeno dico le cose come stanno
Armeno dico le cose come stanno
Senza paura de annà a finì in prigione!

Things as they are

A pig goes by and I say hi, pig
A donkey goes by and I say hi, donkey
Perhaps these animals won’t understand me
But at least I say things as they are
The deputy speaks, between us
He went to the rally half-heartedly
So much so that he said to me: Oh, how boring
It’s true, he said it, yes, but then
You know how he started? He says: It’s with joy
That I come, oh citizens, among you
To honor the martyrs and the heroes
Victims of the pontiff and the executioner
A pig goes by and I say hi, pig
A donkey goes by and I say hi, donkey
Perhaps these animals won’t understand me
But at least I say things as they are
And there he brought out his ideals,
The slaves, the tyrants, the chains,
The king, the priests and the anticlericals
Then he spoke of his principles:
And then he cried, he cried so well
That he almost laughed himself
A pig goes by and I say hi, pig
A donkey goes by and I say hi, donkey
Perhaps these animals won’t understand me
But at least I say things as they are
A pig goes by and I say hi, pig
A donkey goes by and I say hi, donkey
Perhaps these animals won’t understand me
But at least I say things as they are
Because if you have before you
A deputy, a priest, a king
It scares you to breathe
You don’t have the courage to speak up
And with that beautiful blue jacket
You’ve fallen into line, too
And now it’s only out of cowardice
That you no longer tell the truth
A pig goes by and I say hi, pig
A donkey goes by and I say hi, donkey
Perhaps these animals won’t understand me
But at least I say things as they are
But at least I say things as they are
At least I say things as they are
Without fear of ending up in jail!
