Creuza De Ma Lyrics in English by Fabrizio De André
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Creuza De Ma by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
Umbre de muri, muri de mainé
Umbre de walls, walls de mainé
Dunde ne vegnì duve l'è ch'ané
So he came where he was
Da 'n scitu duve a l'ûn-a a se mustra nûa
Da 'n scitu duve a l'ûn-a a se mustra nûa
E a neutte a n'à puntou u cutellu ä gua
And a neutte a n'à puntou u cutellu ä gua
E a muntä l'àse gh'é restou Diu
And a muntä l'àse gh'é restou Diu
U Diàu l'é in çë e u s'è gh'è faetu u nìu
U Diàu l'é in çë e u s'è gh'è faetu u nìu
Ne sciurtìmmu da u mä pe sciugà e osse da u Dria
I don't get away from a mä pe get away and get away from Dria
E a funtan-a di cumbi 'nta cä de pria
And a funtan-a of cumbi 'nta cä de pria
E 'nt'a cä de pria chi ghe saià
It's not the first time who knows
Int'à cä du Dria che u nu l'è mainà
Int'à cä du Dria that a nu l'è mainà
Gente de Lûgan, facce da mandillä
People from Lûgan, faces like mandillä
Qui che du luassu preferiscian l'ä
Here that du luassu prefer the ä
Figge de famiggia udù de bun
Figge de famiggia hudu de bun
Che ti peu ammiàle senza u gundun
Who can ammiàle you without a gundun
E a 'ste panse veue cose ghe daià
And give these panse so many things
Cose da beive, cose da mangiä
Things to drink, things to eat
Frittûa de pigneu, giancu de Purtufin
Frittûa de pigneu, giancu de Purtufin
Çervelle de bae 'nt'u meximu vin
Çervelle de bae 'nt'u meximu vin
Lasagne da fiddià ai quattru tucchi
Fiddià lasagna with four tucchi
Paciûgu in aegruduse de lévre de cuppi
Paciûgu in egruduse de lévre de cuppi
E 'nt'a barca du vin ghe naveghiemu 'nsc'i scheuggi
It's a boat where we sail
Emigranti du rìe cu'i cioi 'nt'i euggi
Emigrants du rìe cu'i cioi 'nt'i euggi
Finché u matin crescià da puéilu rechéugge
Until morning grows from puéilu rechéugge
Frè di ganeuffeni e dè figge
Frè of ganeuffeni and dè figge
Bacan d'a corda marsa d'aegua e de sä
Bacan d'a corda marsa d'aegua e de sä
Che a ne liga e a ne porta 'nte 'na creuza de mä
That no league and no one brings 'nte' na creuza de mä

Did you like this lyrics translation?
creuza de mä — mule track by the sea
Creuza de mä is a fascinating phrase in Genoese dialect, literally meaning "mule track by the sea." It evokes a very specific, picturesque image of the Ligurian coast, far from a common everyday word.
In the context of the song, it symbolizes a journey, a path of life for sailors and emigrants, filled with memories, struggles, and the constant presence of the sea. It's a poetic and deeply rooted expression that captures the essence of the song's narrative.
