Текст и перевод песни Roberto Murolo - Tammurriata nera

Tammurriata nera

Io nun capisco ′e vvote, che succede
E chello che se vede
Nun se crede, nun se crede
È nato nu criaturo niro, niro
E 'a mamma ′o chiamma Giro
Sissignore, 'o chiamma Giro

Séh! Gira e vota, séh
Séh! vota e gira, séh
Ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o ′Ntuono
Ca tu ′o chiamme Peppe o Giro
Chillo, o fatto è niro, niro
Niro, niro comm'a che!

′O spiegano 'e ccummare chist′affare
"Sti case nun so' rare
Se ne vedono a migliara
Se vede ch′è bastata na guardata
E 'a femmena è rimasta
Sott'a botta, ′mpressiunata

Séh! Na guardata, séh
Séh! Na ′mpressione, séh
Va' truvanno mo chi è stato
Ch′ha cugliuto buono 'o tiro
Chillo, ′o fatto è niro, niro
Niro, niro comm'a che!

E dice ′o parulano: "Embè parlammo
Pecché si raggiunammo
Chistu fatto nce 'o spiegammo
Addo' pastìne ′o ggrano, ′o ggrano cresce
Riesce o nun riesce
Sempe è grano chillo ch'esce"

Mé′, dillo a mamma, mé'
Mé′, dillo pure a me
Cont'o fatto comm′è ghiuto
Ciccio, 'Ntuono, Peppe o Giro
Chillo 'o ninno è niro, niro
Niro, niro comm′a che!

Tammurriata nera

I don't understand what's happening
And what you see
You don't believe it, you don't believe it
A black child was born, black, black
And his mother calls him Giro
Yes, she calls him Giro

Yes! Turn and go, yes
Yes! Go and turn, yes
If you call him Ciccio or ′Ntuono
If you call him Peppe or Giro
He's black, black, black
Black, black like that!

The gossips explain this affair
These things are not uncommon
They are seen by the thousands
They say that a glance was enough
And the woman was left
Impressed, under a spell

Yes! A glance, yes
Yes! An impression, yes
Go find out now who did it
Who shot the arrow so well
He's black, black, black
Black, black like that!

And the priest says: "Well, let's talk
Because if we reach a consensus
We can explain this fact
Where wheat is sown, wheat grows
Whether it succeeds or not
Wheat is always what comes out"

My dear, tell me, my dear
My dear, tell me too
How did this happen?
Ciccio, ′Ntuono, Peppe or Giro
That little child is black, black
Black, black as that!
