Io song figlio a' 'o mare
I sing son to the sea
nato int' 'a terra 'e nisciuno
born inside 'on the ground' and not one
addò se campa 'e famma e sete
now if you live and make a living and thirst
tengo ddoie mane e sette dete
I hold two hands and seven hands
tre l'aggio perze pe' sparà
three the premium perze pe 'will shoot
Ero guaglione a diciott'anne
I was a young man at eighteen
tutto pe' colpa 'ell'ignoranza
It's all due to ignorance
mettetto incinta Maddalena
I get Maddalena pregnant
una puttana del quartiere
a neighborhood whore
e m' 'a facetteno spusà
and they made me laugh
tenive 'o mare, pe ghì a parlà ogni sera
I kept the sea, so we could talk every evening
tenive 'o mare, e 'o mare te steva a sentì
I was holding the sea, and I was listening to you
tenive 'o mare, 'o mare p'alluccà cchiù forte
I held the sea, the sea made me alluccà stronger
tenive 'o mare, 'o mare pe' fuì d' 'a morte
held 'o sea, 'o sea to escape from death
Disoccupato per mestiere
Unemployed by profession
ma me piaceva 'e fa carriera
but I liked it 'and it makes a career
currenno appriesso a 'na buscia
currenno next to 'na busha
me so truvato nmiez'a via
I found myself away
cu 'e senza legge e l'omertà
cu 'e without law and silence
E aggiu visto 'a galera
And even saw him in prison
la' dint' 'a notte è cchiù nera
the 'dint' 'at night is blacker
è stata 'na combinazione
it was a combination
detto duie schiaffe a nu buffone
said two slaps to a fool
e fuie mpruvvisamente 'o rre
and suddenly I was king
Tenive 'o mare pe' ghì a parlà ogni sera
Tenive 'o mare pe' ghì to talk every evening
Mo' cu' sei figli e tre mugliere
Now there are six children and three muglieres
vaco fuienno iuorno e sera
I was empty day and night
cantato 'a chi nun canta maie
sung to those who never sing
lassate sulo a guardà 'e guaie
leave him alone to watch and trouble
a nun penzà pe' nun capì
don't think twice because you won't understand
e mo' me trovo vecchio e stanco
and now I find myself old and tired
dint'a sta vita vacanta
within this vacant life
sulo a campà chino 'e penziere
sulo at campà bent 'and penziere
ca nun me ponno purtà areto
I can't purity areto
e 'o mare ca nun è cchiu 'o mio
It's the sea that's not mine
tenive 'o mare pe' ghì a parlà ogni sera
I kept the sea to talk to Ghi every evening
Va, nun guardà a me
Go, don't look at me
nun fa comm' 'a me
it doesn't do the same to me
sient' 'a coscienza
sient' 'to conscience
'e chi ha perduto 'a sempe
'and who has always lost
e s'è bruciato 'a vita
and he burned for life
pe' sunnà 'e fa 'o rre
pe 'sunnà' e fa 'o rre
