'Â Duménega Lyrics in English by Fabrizio De André
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 'Â Duménega by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
Quandu ä dumenega fan u gíu
When on Sunday they take a stroll
Cappellin neuvu neuvu u vestiu
Brand new hat, brand new dress
Cu 'a madama a madama 'n testa
With a fancy hat on their head
O belin che festa o belin che festa
Oh d*ck, what a party, oh d*ck, what a party
A tûtti apreuvu ä pruccessiún
Everyone following the procession
D'a Teresin-a du Teresún
Of little Teresa, of big Teresa
Tûtti a miâ ë figge du diàu
Everyone looking at the devil's daughters
Che belin de lou che belin de lou
What a f*cking job, what a f*cking job
E a stu luciâ de cheusce e de tettín
And at this display of thighs and little breasts
Ghe fan u sciätu anche i ciû piccin
Even the youngest ones get excited
Mama mama damme ë palanche
Mama mama give me the money
Veuggiu anâ a casín veuggiu anâ a casín
I want to go to the brothel, I want to go to the brothel
E ciû s'addentran inta cittæ
And the deeper they go into the city
Ciû euggi e vuxi ghe dan deré
More eyes and voices follow them
Ghe dixan quellu che nu peúan dî
They tell them what they can't say
De zeùggia sabbu e de lûnedì
On Thursday, Saturday, and Monday
A Ciamberlinú sûssa belin
In Sampierdarena, s*ck d*ck
Ä Fuxe cheusce de sciaccanuxe
In Foce, nutcracker thighs
In Caignàn musse de tersa man
In Carignano, third-hand c*nts
E in Puntexellu ghe mustran l'öxellu
And in Ponte Carrega, they show them their d*ck
A Ciamberlinú sûssa belin
In Sampierdarena, s*ck d*ck
Ä Fuxe cheusce de sciaccanuxe
In Foce, nutcracker thighs
In Caignàn musse de tersa man
In Carignano, third-hand c*nts
E in Puntexellu ghe mustran l'öxellu
And in Ponte Carrega, they show them their d*ck
E u direttú du portu c'u ghe vedde l'ou
And the port director who sees gold in them
'Nte quelle scciappe a reposu da a lou
In those c*nts resting from their work
Pe nu fâ vedde ch'u l'è cuntentu
So as not to show that he's happy
Ch'u meu-neuvu u gh'à u finansiamentu
That his new pier has the funding
U se cunfunde 'nta confûsiún
He blends into the confusion
Cun l'euggiu pin de indignasiún
With his eye full of indignation
E u ghe cría u ghe cría deré
And he shouts at them, he shouts behind them
Bagasce sëi e ghe restè
You're whores and you'll stay that way
E ti che ti ghe sbraggi apreuvu
And you who shout after them
Mancu ciû u nasu gh'avei de neuvu
You don't even have a new nose anymore
Bruttu galûsciu de 'n purtòu de Cristu
You ugly scoundrel of a Christ's port
Nu t'è l'únicu ch'u se n'è avvistu
You're not the only one who's noticed it
Che in mezzu a quelle creatúe
That among those creatures
Che se guagnan u pan da nûe
Who earn their bread naked
A gh'è a gh'è a gh'è a gh'è
There is, there is, there is, there is
A gh'è anche teu muggè
There's also your wife
A Ciamberlin sûssa belin
In Sampierdarena, s*ck d*ck
Ä Fuxe cheusce de sciaccanuxe
In Foce, nutcracker thighs
In Caignàn musse de tersa man
In Carignano, third-hand c*nts
E in Puntexellu ghe mustran l'öxellu
And in Ponte Carrega, they show them their d*ck
A Ciamberlin sûssa belin
In Sampierdarena, s*ck d*ck
Ä Fuxe cheusce de sciaccanuxe
In Foce, nutcracker thighs
In Caignàn musse de tersa man
In Carignano, third-hand c*nts
E in Puntexellu ghe mustran l'öxellu
And in Ponte Carrega, they show them their d*ck

Did you like this lyrics translation?
galûsciu — lecherous / lustful
Galûsciu is a fascinating word in Genoese dialect, meaning 'lecherous' or 'lustful'. It's not a common Italian word, making it unique and memorable.
In the context of the song, it's used as an insult, hurled at someone who is hypocritically judging others for their perceived immorality while likely harboring similar desires. This word captures the raw, gritty, and often judgmental atmosphere depicted in the lyrics, offering a glimpse into the local dialect and social commentary.
