Текст и перевод песни Roberto Murolo - O vascio

O vascio

A gente ca mme vede 'e sentinella
'Nnanze a 'stu vascio da 'a matina â sera
"Ma chisto, dice, ha perzo 'e ccerevelle?
Ma comme? S'è cecato 'e 'sta manera?"
E invece, i' voglio bene a na figliola
Ca 'sta 'int"o vascio e nun è vasciajola

No, 'stu vascio nun è vascio
È na reggia, 'a meglia reggia
E sissignore, 'o pate è masterascio
E sissignore, 'a mamma è 'mpagliasegge
Ma hanno fatto chesta figlia
Ch'è na vera meraviglia
Ca pe' sbaglio è nata llá

'A mamma dice: "No, signore mio!
A stá ô sicondo piano? Nun sia maje!"
E 'o pate dice: "Quant'è certo Dio
Io 'nchian"e terra ce stó' buono assaje"
E intanto, a figlia, chella bella zita
Vò' stá cu lloro quanno se mmarita

No, 'stu vascio nun è vascio
È na reggia, 'a meglia reggia
E sissignore, 'o pate è masterascio
E sissignore, 'a mamma è 'mpagliasegge
Ma hanno fatto chesta figlia
Ch'è na vera meraviglia
Ca pe' sbaglio è nata llá

Ajere me só' miezz appiccecato
Cu 'e genitore mieje ch'hanno ragione
Papá, ch'è pronipote 'e titolato
Dice: "Addó' va a ferní chistu blasone?"
Ma i' penzo ca pe' duje uocchie 'e brillante
Scenne 'a cavallo pure nu rignante

No, 'stu vascio nun è vascio
È na reggia, 'a meglia reggia
E sissignore, 'o pate è masterascio
E sissignore, 'a mamma è 'mpagliasegge
Ma hanno fatto chesta figlia
Ch'è na vera meraviglia
Ca pe' sbaglio è nata llá

The basement

People who watch me standing like a sentinel
In front of this basement from morning to evening
"But this one," they say, "has lost his marbles?
How? Is he blinded by this way?"
But instead, I love a girl
Who lives in the basement and is not a waitress

No, this basement is not a basement
It is a palace, the best palace
And yes, the father is a master craftsman
And yes, the mother is a straw chair maker
But they made this daughter
Who is a true wonder
Who by mistake was born there

The mother says: "No, my lord!
To be on the second floor? Never at all!"
And the father says: "As God is my witness
I like to be down to earth."
And in the meantime, the daughter, that beautiful girl
Wants to be with them when she marries

No, this basement is not a basement
It is a palace, the best palace
And yes, the father is a master craftsman
And yes, the mother is a straw chair maker
But they made this daughter
Who is a true wonder
Who by mistake was born there

Yesterday I almost came to blows
With my parents who are right
Father, who is the great-grandson of a titled man
Says: "Where will this coat of arms end up?"
But I think that for two brilliant eyes
Even a reigning prince would dismount from his horse

No, this basement is not a basement
It is a palace, the best palace
And yes, the father is a master craftsman
And yes, the mother is a straw chair maker
But they made this daughter
Who is a true wonder
Who by mistake was born there
