Текст и перевод песни Franco Califano - Gratta gratta amico mio

Gratta gratta amico mio

Gratta, gratta gratta amico mio,
Si nun voi mori' de fame
Come stavo a mori' io,
Quarche mese de "bottega"
Gia' l'ho fatto, che me frega?
Nun me va' de lavora'.
Daje, fatte sotto co' coraggio
C'e' un Ferari a quer parcheggio
Radio, gomme e quarche aggeggio
Si te beccano, pazienza
Tu dimostri l'innocenza
E sarai un buciardo in piu'...
Fallo se nun artro pe' tu' moje
Se l'ammolli co' du' fije
Come fanno pe' campa?
Datte da fa'.
Gratta, gratta, gratta amico mio
Pure i ladri c'hanno un core
Proprio come ce l'ho io
Che nun parlo si nun vojo
Perché in fonno c'ho l'orgoglio
Che in quell' attimo me da'
Un po' de gioia pe' campa'.Datte da fa'.
Gratta, gratta, gratta amico mio
Nun c'hai firma, nun c'hai orario
Fai er professionista serio
Devi vive sempre ar meglio
Si te beccano pazienza,
Tanto fori, che poi fa'?
Te magni pane e dignita'.
Tenemo duro, che voi fa'.
Noi semo nati pe' rubba'...

Scratch, Scratch My Friend

Scratch, scratch, scratch, my friend,
If you don't want to die of hunger
Like I almost did,
A few months of "shoplifting"
I've already done it, what do I care?
I don't want to work.
Come on, do it with courage
There's a Ferrari in that parking lot
Radio, tires, and some gadget
If they catch you, so be it
You'll plead your innocence
And you'll be one more liar...
Do it at least for your wife
If you leave her with two kids
How will they survive?
Get to work.
Scratch, scratch, scratch, my friend
Even thieves have a heart
Just like I do
Who doesn't talk if I don't want to
Because deep down I have pride
Which in that moment gives me
A little joy to live. Get to work.
Scratch, scratch, scratch, my friend
You have no contract, no schedule
You play the serious professional
You have to always live high
If they catch you, so be it,
Because what can you do outside?
You'll eat bread and dignity.
Let's hold on, what are you going to do.
We were born to steal...
