lyrics
Quenne u maere fasce grousse
pare ca da nu memende o alte
sa va gnotte u vourghe.
A maec, me pare ca ste ngazzate quenne nen se moeve.
Piatte piatte.
Ne taevele ca nen fasc remoere,
ca nen disce nudde. Ca nen chende.
Ma quenne sa rsbegghie, tenne,
pare ca, come a ne nonne,
me racconde le fatte, le stoerie nostre e r coas ca n’emme scherdate.
Re coese belle e u senghe
ca è state scettate,
La bella terr e re brutte case c’avimme fatte,
U soele calte e le crestiène ca allucchene.
Quenne u maere fasce grousse ne porte ndraète toette la scoesce c’a l’avimme scèttate inde.
A maec, me pare ca quenne nen se moeve, idde soffre citte citte.
Ci se moeve ne picche, par ca se lèmaende chiaene, chiaene,
come a nu melate.
Ma quenne s’agetaesce, tenne, me pare come ci ste a seffriaie: nu melate ca addemenne de les aitate.
Proprie a neue c’a u emme arrouenète!
Ca ne mengimme le poulpe a taeneridde e scettime toutte coese inde e maere,
Ca ne piascenè le scougghie e allassimme u rèste nderre.
Ca ne piasc u addoure du maere c totte re bombe ca l’avimme allassate de la guerre.
A la Festa, (proprie) soape a sti bombe
neu pertimme la Maedonne:
sop a ne varche, c tutt le crestiène
ca acchièmaèndene do vourgh, da le pounde (balconi), da la baènchinae.
E u mer o pourte, lourde e senza
voesce, ne voele daisce qualchè coese.
Ma neue simme nghioummaète.
Da ne recchie.
ENGLISH
WHEN THE SEA GETS BIG
When the sea gets big
it seems that from one moment to the next
it must engulf the village.
It seems to me that he is angry
when it's not moving.
Plate dish.
A table that makes no noise,
that says nothing. That does not sing.
But when he wakes up then
it seems that, like a grandmother,
tell me the facts, our stories
and the things we have forgotten.
The beautiful things and the blood
that has been poured out,
The beautiful land and the ugly houses
that we built,
The hot sun and the people screaming.
When the sea gets big it brings back all the waste that we have thrown into it.
It seems to me that when it does not move
suffer in silence.
If it moves little, it looks like
it moans slowly,
like a sick person.
But when he gets upset, then, it seems to me as if he is in pain, a sick person asking for help.
Just us, who have ruined it!
That we eat the 'poulpe a taeneridde'
and throw everything away into the sea,
That we like the rocks and we leave
waste on the ground.
That we like the smell of the sea with all the bombs we left you at the end of the war.
At the Feast, just above these bombs we carry the Madonna;
on a boat, with all the people
overlooking the village, from the balconies,
from the quay.
And the sea, at the port, dirty and voiceless, wants to tell us something.
But we are deaf.
From one ear.
