Текст и перевод песни Enzo Avitabile - Quanno nascette Ninno

Quanno nascette Ninno

Quanno nascette Ninno a Betlemme,
Era notte e pareva miezojuorno
Maje le stelle,
Lustre e belle,
Se vedèttero accussí
E 'a cchiù lucente,
Jette a chiammá li Magge a ll'Uriente

De pressa se scetajeno ll'aucielle
Cantanno de na forma tutta nova
Pe' nsi' 'agrille,
Co' li strille,
E zompanno 'a ccá e 'a llá
- E' nato E' nato
- Decévano lo Dio che nce ha criato

Co' tutto ch'era vierno, Ninno bello,
Nascettero a migliara rose e sciure
Pe' nsi' 'o ffieno,
Sicco e tuosto,
Ca fuje puosto sott'a te,
Se 'nfigliulette
E de frunnelle e sciure se vestette

A no paese che se chiamma Ngadde,
Sciurettero le vvigne e ascette ll'uva
Ninno mio
Sapuretiello,
Rappusciello d'uva si' tu
Ca, tutt'ammore,
Faje doce 'a vocca e po' 'mbriache 'e core

Non c'erano nemice pe' la terra
La pecora pasceva co' 'o lione
Co"o capretto,
Se vedette
'O liupardo pazzeá
Ll'urzo e 'o vetiello
E, co' lo lupo, 'mpace 'o pecoriello

S'arrevotaje 'nsomma tutto munno
Lo cielo, 'a terra, 'o mare e tutt"e ggente
Chi dormeva,
Se senteva
'Mpietto core pazzeá
Pe' la prejezza
E se sonnava pace e contentezza

Guardavano le ppecore, 'e Pasture
E n'Angelo, sbrennente cchiù d"o sole,
Comparette
E lle decette
No ve spaventate, no
Contento e riso
La terra è addeventata Paraviso

Contento e riso
La terra è addeventata Paraviso

When Baby Jesus was born

When Baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem,
It was night and it seemed like midday
Never have the stars,
Bright and beautiful,
Been seen like this
And the brightest one,
Went to call the Magi in the East

The birds quickly awoke
Singing in a completely new way
In the thickets,
With shrill cries,
And hopping here and there
- He is born, He is born
- they said, the God who created us

Although it was winter, Baby Jesus,
Thousands of roses and flowers were born
In the hay,
Dry and tough,
That was placed under you,
It became fertile
And dressed itself in leaves and flowers

In a country called Ngadde,
The vines blossomed and the grapes ripened
My baby,
Little sapling,
You are a little bunch of grapes
That, all love,
Makes the mouth sweet and then intoxicates the hearts

There were no enemies on earth
The sheep grazed with the lion
With the kid,
Was seen
The crazy leopard
The bear and the calf
And, with the wolf, the lamb in peace

The whole world was filled with joy
The sky, the earth, the sea and all the people
Whoever slept,
Felt
Their hearts go crazy
For happiness
And dreamed of peace and contentment

The shepherds watched the sheep,
And an angel, brighter than the sun,
Appeared
And told them
Don't be afraid, no
Joy and laughter
The earth has become Paradise

Joy and laughter
The earth has become Paradise
