'E figlie

Facitem'accapi ca ie so gnurante
Che so sti carte e che vuli'tame'
Parlate chiare nazz'attute quante
Ca tutte vonne senter'essape'
Chie stu piccerelli e o figle mio
Mo so livat'avocca pe cio dd'a'chelle
Ca sa'crisciute so statio
E nun ce legge ca mo po liva

Signo
E figlie ossaie che sso so pizz'ecore
E nun sann'alassa
Cheste l'efatte tu
Ca si signore ma nu pezzente cheste nunn'offa'

Denare e caggia fa cu sti denare
Ie ca fatiche che me naggia fa'
Amo capisce tu
A sti l'acreme amare tu ce vuo da nu prezze e bbuo pava'
E vuie ca state attuorne nun parlate
E tu ninnellu mio che dice tu
Alegge dice ca chiste mo te'pate
E ie nun so niente, nun so niente chiu

Signo
E figlie ossaie che sso so piezz'ecore
E nun sann'alassa'
Cheste l'efatte tu ca si signora
Ma nu pezzente cheste nunn'offa'

Oje ninnu mio me lasse te ne vaie
E tu te scuord'eme e ie comme facce core mio
Tuossaie ie copp'omunne tengo sul'atte'
Astrigne forte forte sti bbraccelle
E nun me l'assa nun me puo l'assa
Stasere so chiu belle stuocche belle
E me guardene quasi quasi cu ppieta

Signo
E figlie ossaie che sso so pizze'ocore
E nun sann'alassa

Te puortatelle tu ca si signora
L'urtema vota mo vuo fa bbraccia

'E figlie

My ignorance is beyond belief
These papers and your demands baffle me
Speak clearly, my obstinate queen
Since everyone wants to know
This little child, my child
Is now leaving my care to pursue his fate
He has grown
And now he must find his own way

My lady
My daughters, still innocent lambs
Unaware of their fate
You, my lady, are responsible
Yes, my lord, but a poor man cannot provide for them

Money and plunder, that's all you care about
I work tirelessly, but it's never enough
I understand your plight
You seek wealth and comfort, and you expect me to pay the price
And all of you who stand around, whispering and judging
And you, my dear child, what do you say?
The law says that these children are your responsibility
And I'm just a nobody, I know nothing

My lady
My daughters, still innocent lambs
Unaware of their fate
You, my lady, are responsible
But a poor man cannot provide for them

Oh my child, you're leaving me
And you'll forget about me, and I'll be heartbroken
I'm all alone in the world, all I have is you
Hold me close, don't let go
Don't leave me, you can't leave me
Tonight you're more beautiful than ever
And you look at me with almost pity

My lady
My daughters, still innocent lambs
Unaware of their fate

You must take them, my lady
For the last time, I embrace you
