Ma oghje m'avecu - I Muvrini перевод на английский

Ma oghje m'avecu

Quella sera eramu soli; c'era mamma capu chjinu
Eiu solu lu carminu
Babbu un c'era micca chi, babbu un c'era piu.
Ma nantu'a un cuadrellu firmava la so pipa, chi
Cume una spunga mai asciuta ci facia pianghjula.

Ghj'eramu'un venderi sera,
Ma u tempu passava, e l'esiliu chjamava
Ghje cio chi, quella sera o Mà, ti vulia raminta.

Ghje dumanè co m'imbarcu
Ghje dumanè co ti lasciu
Ghje la vita chi mi chjama
E di parte un'aghju brama
Eppo tu ti fermi sola
Ma d'amore ti cunsoli, o Mà.

E ghje solu quella sera
Ch'aghju intesu in la bughjura
Parlà tuttu cio ch'è mutu
Trimà tut tu cio ch'ùn trema
Ancu'cane in lu s'abaghju
Paria di: e Mamma ferma sola

O Mà, o Mà
So pertutu e ghj'era l'ora
Trimulendu é pienghjuloni
Eppo tu m'hai abbraciatu
Inlla stretta a l'apasponi
A mo pena ha cumminciatu
Mi sentia'a l'abandonu, o Mà!

Ma dipoi u tempu passa,
Di nunda mi so scurdatu
E la vita m'ha'imparatu
Chi ancu s'ell'é stinzata
A funeta di l'amorè, un po, un po micca strappa,
O Mà, o Mà.

Ma oghje m'avecu

That evening we were alone; there was Mamma with her head bowed
And only me singing a lullaby
Father was not there, Father was no more with us.
But on a notebook he signed his pipe, which
Like a sponge never dry made us cry.

It was a Friday evening,
But time was passing, and exile was calling
Oh what, that evening mummy, I wanted to remind you of.

Oh tomorrow with my embarkation
Oh tomorrow when I leave you
Oh the life that calls me
And I have no desire to leave
And you will be left alone
But find solace in love, oh Mother.

And it was only that evening
That I heard in the dark
Talk of all that is silent
Tremble of all that does not tremble
Even the dogs in their barking
Seemed to say: and Mamma stays alone

Oh Mother, oh Mother
I'm everywhere and it was time
Trembling and weeping
And you then embraced me
In that hug at dusk
My sorrow had begun
I felt abandoned, oh Mother!

But since time goes by,
I have forgotten nothing
And life has taught me
That even if it is extinguished
The spark of love, a little, a little bit does not tear away,
Oh Mother, oh Mother.
