Tarantelle Pe' Campa' Lyrics in English 99 Posse , Caparezza
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tarantelle Pe' Campa' by 99 Posse from Italian to English.
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Ma nun song 'e tarantelle vostre cheste ccà
But these here are not your tarantellas
C' 'e sunamm', c' 'e cantamm', l'abballamm'
We play them, we sing them, we dance them
E a man' a mana ch'abballamm'
And hand in hand we dance
Tutte cose sta cagnann' già
Everything is already changing
Quanno 'a musica nun è bbona
When the music isn't good
È assai difficile abballà
It's very difficult to dance
Ma cù chisti sunature rimme tu comm' amma fa
But with these sounds we go how we should
macchinoni e varchetelle
Big cars and little boats
Vanno in vacanza alle Seychelles
They go on vacation to the Seychelles
Sott' e fuggi 'e mattunelle
Under the morning's escape
Magna magna e bustarelle
Eat, eat and bribes
Lapdance e spuglierelle
Lapdance and strippers
Fann' 'e festini dint' 'e ville
They throw parties in the villas
Se pazzeano 'e uagliuncelle
The kids go crazy
Se trapiantan' 'e capille
They get hair transplants
Bucchinar' e nacchennelle
Bargaining and little claps
Vonno tutt' 'e cose belle
They want all the beautiful things
'E cravatte 'e Marinella
Marinella's ties
Champagne c' 'e tarall'
Champagne with taralli
Latticini e muzzarelle
Dairy products and mozzarella
Panettune e sfogliatelle
Panettone and sfogliatelle
C' 'e canzone d'Apicella
With Apicella's songs
Fann' 'e tuff' a cufaniello
They dive into the pool
E nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
And we make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Taratataranta- Taratataranta- taratataran-
Taratataranta- Taratataranta- taratataran-
Tarantelle pe' campa'
Tarantellas to live
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Vuje sunate e nuje abballamm ma
You play and we dance but
'sta musica adda cagna'
This music has to change
O' veleno che ce date c'
The poison you give us
'o pigliamm' e 'o trasfurmamm
We take it and transform it
In tarantelle ch'abballamm' pe' campa'
Into tarantellas that we dance to live
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Ma nun song 'e tarantelle vostre cheste ccà
But these here are not your tarantellas
C' 'e sunamm', c' 'e cantamm', l'abballamm'
We play them, we sing them, we dance them
E a man' a mana ch'abballamm'
And hand in hand we dance
Tutte cose sta cagnann' già
Everything is already changing
Nella piazza la folla balla la tarantella
In the square the crowd dances the tarantella
Tiene alta la guardia con la
Keeps the guard up with the
Guardia che la randella
Guard that clubs it
Non tira fuori una lira ma l'ira tira fuori
Doesn't pull out a lira but the anger pulls out
Sugli accordi salta come gli
On the chords it jumps like the
Accordi di Mirafiori
Chords of Mirafiori
A piedi nudi danza pure
Barefoot dance too
Che a farti le scarpe non sono
Because to make your shoes it's not
Solo le aziende di calzature
Only the shoe companies
Il sindacato ti molla come una zavorra
The union drops you like a ballast
La vita molla più ceffoni che sulla tammorra
Life gives more slaps than on the tambourine
Tarantella per pagare le spese
Tarantella to pay the expenses
Col denaro che termini come a Termini Imerese
With money that ends like in Termini Imerese
I suonatori sviolinano per due voti ma poi
The musicians play for two votes but then
Ti lasciano sotto tiro nei terremoti
They leave you under fire in earthquakes
E si balla con il veleno somministrato
And we dance with the administered poison
Si balla mica come nei voli di Stato
We don't dance like in state flights
Si balla in mutande come nel can-can
We dance in our underwear like in the can-can
Noi le tarantelle, tarantelle
We the tarantellas, tarantellas
Tarantelle pe' campa'
Tarantellas to live
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Vuje sunate e nuje abballamm ma
You play and we dance but
'sta musica adda cagna'
This music has to change
O' veleno che ce date c'
The poison you give us
'o pigliamm' e 'o trasfurmamm
We take it and transform it
In tarantelle ch'abballamm' pe' campa'
Into tarantellas that we dance to live
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Ma nun song 'e tarantelle vostre cheste ccà
But these here are not your tarantellas
C' 'e sunamm', c' 'e cantamm', l'abballamm'
We play them, we sing them, we dance them
E a man' a mana ch'abballamm'
And hand in hand we dance
Tutte cose sta cagnann' già
Everything is already changing
'E tarantelle cchiù belle
The most beautiful tarantellas
So' sèmpe chelle di sfida a 'e guerre
Are always those that challenge wars
Comm' è 'na giulianese ca
Like a Julianese that
S'abballa c' 'e curtielle
Dances with knives
C' abballan' 'e mugliere c' 'e
That dance the wives with the
Mariti e pure 'e figli
Husbands and also the children
Na vota s'abballavano dint' 'e case de' paese
Once they danced in the houses of the village
Portando scuorno e scumpiglio
Bringing shame and confusion
Mo' s' abballano dint' 'e feste
Now they dance in the village parties
De' paese con orgoglio
With pride
Pecchè è chelle ca simm'
Because that's who we are
Facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
E nun tenimme proprio niente
And we have nothing at all
Ca c'avimm' vergogna' nuje ccà
Because we are ashamed here
Nuje facimme solamente tarantelle pe' campa'
We only make tarantellas to live
E a man' a mana che facimm' tarantelle
And hand in hand we make tarantellas
Ci accorgiamo delle potenzialità
We realize the potential
Ed ogni tarantella addiventa tra lamiente
And every tarantella becomes a lament
Canto di libbertà
Song of freedom
Libbertà che se difende c' 'e curtielle
Freedom that defends itself with knives
Tante vote te vuliv' avvicina'
Many times I wanted to get closer
Taratataranta- Taratataranta- taratataran-
Taratataranta- Taratataranta- taratataran-
Tarantelle pe' campa'
Tarantellas to live
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Vuje sunate e nuje abballamm ma
You play and we dance but
'sta musica adda cagna'
This music has to change
O' veleno che ce date c'
The poison you give us
'o pigliamm' e 'o trasfurmamm
We take it and transform it
In tarantelle ch'abballamm' pe' campa'
Into tarantellas that we dance to live
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Ma nun song 'e tarantelle vostre cheste ccà
But these here are not your tarantellas
C' 'e sunamm', c' 'e cantamm', l' abballamm'
We play them, we sing them, we dance them
E a man' a mana ch'abballamm'
And hand in hand we dance
Tutte cose sta cagnann' già
Everything is already changing
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa'
The tarantellas to live
Ma nun song 'e tarantelle vostre cheste ccà
But these here are not your tarantellas
Nuje facimme 'e tarantelle
We make the tarantellas
'e tarantelle pe' campa
The tarantellas to live
E a man' a mana tutte cose sta cagnann' già
And hand in hand everything is already changing
