Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vesuvio by Nu Genea from Italian to English.
Si mont' o si 'ma mont'
Si mont' or si 'ma mont'
È na jastemm'
It's na jastemm'
Si 'a morte si 'ma mort'
Yes 'to death yes 'ma mort'
Muntagna fatta 'e lava
Mountain done 'and wash
'E cient' vie
'E cient' vie
Tu tien' 'mman a te'
You hold 'mman to you'
Sta vita mia
This is my life
Si fumm' o si nun fumm'
Yes you smoke or you don't smoke
È 'o fuoco che te puort'
It's 'o fire that can help you'
Dint' o core
Dint' or core
Ori ori ori ori
Golds golds golds golds
Ori ori ori ori
Golds golds golds golds
Ori ori ori ori
Golds golds golds golds
Ori ori ori ori
Golds golds golds golds
Chi campa 'nsieme 'a te
Who lives with you
Te par' nient'
It seems like nothing to you
Si jesce pazz è pazz
Yes, he's crazy, he's crazy
L'unica verità
The only truth
Pe' tutt' quante
For all of them
Sarria chell'
Sarria chell'
Si mont' o si 'ma mont'
Si mont' or si 'ma mont'
È na jastemm'
It's na jastemm'
Si 'a morte si 'ma mort'
Yes 'to death yes 'ma mort'
So pizz' 'e case
I know pizz' 'and houses
O so pizz' 'e galera
Or I know pizz' 'and prison
Addò staje chiuse
Now the seasons are closed
D'a matina a sera
From morning to evening
Si' 'o purgatorio
Yes' 'or purgatory
'E tutt' chesta 'ggente
'And all these people
Ca vive dint' e barrache
Ca lives near and barrache
E vive 'e stient'
And lives 'and stient'
Quann' fa notte
When it's night
'E 'o ciel' se fa scur'
'It's heaven if it's dark'
Sul' 'o ricordo 'e te
On the 'or I remember' and you
