Paroles et traduction Rita Marcotulli - Basilicata On My Mind

Basilicata On My Mind

Se Cristo si è fermato ad Eboli,
A colpa di ku e'
E certo nun è da nostra
Nui lu vulimu bene,
L'avimu preparet
Na festa granna grann
Varil i vin e ang'net
Ca par i Capodann,
Cristo nun e'v'nut
N'aviss t'avv'se'
Ng' amu rimasu brutt
A rrobba s'e' iettet
Ma pur senza prut'zion
Da fe' n'ammu det
E dall e dall e dall
N'ammu cacciat u chep...

Ba. ba Basilicata, ba ba Basilicata
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai
Basilicata is on my mind
(N'ata vot)

U Pepa s'a nt'rsset
E n'ha telefonet
N'a ditu d'sta quit
N'aver't aiutet
E nui p'sta quit
P n'aiute' a r'sist
Senza r' dic nind
N'ammu fattu buddist...

Ba ba Basilicata, ba ba Basilicata
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai
Basilicata is on my mind
(N'ata vot)"

Basilicata On My Mind

If Christ stopped in Eboli,
Because of ku e'
And it's not our fault
We want him here,
We have prepared
A great big party
Barrels of wine and barrels
As for the New Year,
Christ didn't come
He should have come
We remained ugly
The goods were stolen
But even without protection
From faith we have dado it
And from e dall e dall
We have thrown out the hook...

Ba. ba Basilicata, ba ba Basilicata
You who know about it, have you ever seen it
Basilicata is on my mind
(Once more)

U Pepa has taken an interest
And has called us
He has told us this time
We have to help you
And we for this time
To help us to resist
Without saying anything
We have become Buddhists...

Ba ba Basilicata, ba ba Basilicata
You who know about it, have you ever seen it
Basilicata is on my mind
(Once More)
