lyrics
Siame alla Maculatélla1
addie, addie l’Italia bèlle!
Ce mettimme ind’o bastemênde,
l’acque me pare na fundanélle.
Rit. Ah, ah, ah, sciame ggiuvene
alla Méreghe sciame.
Pueste ind’o vapoere
addie, addie la passioene.
Arrevate a Gebeltèrre
ci ha scurite lu cìele che la tèrre
Rit. Ah, ah...
Siame in alto mare
u Madônne com’è state!
C’è lu mare ribéllate
e la morte è préparate.
Rit. Ah, ah...
Siame in battéria
tutte parlimme e nesciune
capimme.
La trasute de Noviorche
Tréiene pe ngoppe e tréiene pe sotte.
La salute du mérciappiete
re fémmene me parene
bressallìere.
Rit. Ah, ah...
N’ònne scarcérate
o deplòete n’ònne purtate,
scaturélle ci ònne date,
cenguênda solte l’ame pagate.
Rit. Ah, ah, ah... pure i latre
a l’a Méreghe stanne.
Sciame a Pruvidénze2
u Madônne come se pênse
La fatiche la Mêdonne ce pênse
Péppine Pétrunélle3 ci au’a fa
lu credênze.
Rit. Ah, ah, ah... sêmbre a lsse êmm’ê pregà
ENGLISH
EMIGRANT SONG
We are at the Immacolatella
goodbye, goodbye beautiful Italy!
We embark on the ship,
the water looks like a fountain to me.
We are young
let's go to America.
Settle into the ship,
we bid farewell to deep melancholy affection.
Arrived in Gibraltar
the sky has darkened with the earth.
We are in the middle of the ocean
Madonna how it was!
The sea has rebelled
and it seems that death is preparing.
We are at the "Battery park"
we all talk but don't understand each other
(different dialects).
Upon entering NEW YORK
you can see trains up and down
we begin to wander the streets
and we observe women of different bearing
they look like 'bersaglieri'.
Just set free
they led us to explain everything, to empty,
they gave us a can of food,
fifty sous was paid.
Even in America
there are thieves.
Let's go to "Providence",
looking for a job.
Madonna, how do you think!
Peppino Petronelli will have the goodness
to make us a loan.
It is always necessary to him
address with prayer.
