UN RICCO E UN POVERO LYRICS
Nu ricco dicette a nu povero:
[A rich man said to a poor man:]
“Comme faje quando chiove di solito?”
["How do you manage when it usually rains?"]
Ê vote chiove accussí assaje ca ll’acqua penetra pure sott’ê ponte
[Sometimes it rains so much that the water even penetrates under the bridges]
“Comme faje quando figlieto chiagne?”
["How do you manage when your son cries?"]
“Comme faje quando nn’appare niente ‘int’ô fine ‘e semmana
["How do you manage when nothing shows up at the end of the week"]
E c’hê prumesso a figlieto ca sabbato l”esse purtato ô mare?”
[And you promised your son that you'd take him to the sea on Saturday?"]
È na vita ca rincorre ‘e suonne
[It's a life that chases dreams]
Nn’seguenno ll’istinto, nn’sapenno addò stanno
[Not following instinct, not knowing where they are]
E nu vuoto addeventa incolmabile quando se perde ‘int’â vita na mamma
[And a void becomes unfillable when a mother is lost in life]
‘Stu bicchiere pe terra nun tene monete ma sulamente acqua piovana
[This glass on the ground holds no coins but only rainwater]
E pecché nun t’aize e t”o piglie ‘a chi ‘o ttene?
[And why don't you get up and take it from those who have it?]
‘E ricche se guardano ‘e spalle, yeah
[The rich watch their backs, yeah]
‘O povero senza penzà rispunnette ca ‘a pioggia era ‘o mmale minore
[The poor man without thinking replied that the rain was the lesser evil]
Picciò ‘o ricco se copre c”o ‘mbrello
[So the rich man covers himself with an umbrella]
E ‘o povero assettato sott’a ll’androne
[And the poor man sits under the entrance hall]
Po ‘o povero ‘o guardaje ‘int’a ll’uocchie
[Then the poor man looked him in the eyes]
E dicette: “Pecché po pe’tté fosse povero?”
[And said: "Why then to you should I be poor?"]
‘O problema sî tu a penzà ca sî povero sulo pecché nn’tiene ‘e sorde
[The problem is you thinking that you are poor only because you don't have money]
E allora muore
[And then you die]
Quando ‘a vita fa si ca tutte cose t’annoia
[When life makes it so that everything bores you]
‘O povero nun tene ‘o lietto
[The poor man has no bed]
‘O ricco sì, ma nun dorme
[The rich man does, but he doesn't sleep]
Ogne cosa ogge tene nu prezzo
[Everything today has a price]
Ogne juorno è nu brutto mumento
[Every day is a bad moment]
Ogne nuvola tene nu buco
[Every cloud has a hole]
Pe vedé sempe ‘a luce ‘e traverso
[To always see the light through it]
Nu juorno quando vidarraje ‘o cielo esplodere
[One day when you will see the sky explode]
E n’angelo ‘e scennere
[And an angel descend]
Ll’anema ‘a pierde pecché
[You lose your soul because]
Coprimmo ‘e polse c”o rilorgio, ‘e bracciale, ‘e manette
[We cover our wrists with watches, bracelets, and handcuffs]
Abbracciate rimanimmo allerta c”o viento
[Hugging, we remain alert with the wind]
E tutt”a vita allora ‘a passe distratto
[And all your life then you spend it distracted]
Cu niente, cu poco, cu troppo, cu forse c”a faccio
[With nothing, with little, with too much, with a "maybe I'll make it"]
Penzavo ca ‘int’ô cielo ce steva coccosa che s’er”a truvà
[I thought that in the sky there was something to be found]
Nn’tiene niente ‘a truvà finché ancora nun te truove tu
[You have nothing to find until you find yourself]
‘A vita è fatta d’habitat
[Life is made of habitats]
Quando ‘o tiene, po ‘o corpo s’adatta
[When you have it, then the body adapts]
‘E criature che cercano ‘a pappa
[The children who look for food]
Pate e mamme ca cercheno aggrappo
[Fathers and mothers looking for a grip]
Quando hê sempe mangiato c*ntato
[When you've always eaten counted portions]
Quando hê sempe apprezzato n’abbraccio
[When you've always appreciated a hug]
Facce caso, chi ha pruvato ‘a famme
[Notice, someone who has experienced hunger]
Si mange, nun rimane niente ‘int’ô piatto
[If they eat, nothing remains on the plate]
Ca nu ricco e nu povero ‘e solito
[Since a rich man and a poor man usually]
Parleno spisso, capisceno subbeto
[Talk often, they understand immediately]
Quando ‘o ricco s’addorme, fa ‘e suonne
[When the rich man falls asleep, he dreams]
Mentre ‘o povero ancora fa ll’incubo
[While the poor man still has nightmares]
Quando ‘o ricco dicette:
[When the rich man said:]
“E allora che d’è ca tra me e te putesse distinguere”
["And so what is it that could distinguish between me and you?"]
‘O povero allora s’aiza, se ‘ncazza, fa ‘e lacreme e dice:
[The poor man then gets up, gets angry, sheds tears and says:]
“Allora ‘o vuò sapé ogge comme me sento?
["So do you want to know today how I feel?"]
Ca figliemo ha ‘itto ca nun è felice
["That my son said he isn't happy"]
Pecché dint’â classe tutt”e cumpagne suoje teneno ggià nu telefono e ‘a bice”
["Because in class all his friends already have a phone and a bike"]
‘E jurnate ‘e mare, tutte quante in famiglia, tutte documentate da fotografie
[The days at the sea, everyone in the family, all documented by photographs]
Tutte quante l’ultimo modello d”e scarpe
[Everyone with the latest model of shoes]
E nun tornano a casa dint’a nu pulman
[And they don't return home on a bus]
E allora che songo? Che tengo? Che valgo?
[So what am I? What do I have? What am I worth?]
‘O ricco s’assetta vicino e ce dice ‘int’â recchia na cosa ca nn’s’è maje scurdato:
[The rich man sits close and whispers something in his ear that he never forgot:]
“Chi cresce senza na mancanza farrà si ca tutte cose è mancanza
["He who grows up without lack will make it so that everything is a lack"]
Chi cresce già desideranno farrà si ca nu juorno l’ave”
["He who grows up already desiring will make it so that one day he has it"]
Nu juorno quando vidarraje ‘o cielo esplodere
[One day when you will see the sky explode]
E n’angelo ‘e scennere
[And an angel descend]
Ll’anema ‘a pierde pecché
[You lose your soul because]
Coprimmo ‘e polse c”o rilorgio, ‘e bracciale, ‘e manette
[We cover our wrists with watches, bracelets, and handcuffs]
Abbracciate rimanimmo allerta c”o viento
[Hugging, we remain alert with the wind]
E tutt”a vita allora ‘a passe distratto
[And all your life then you spend it distracted]
Cu niente, cu poco, cu troppo, cu forse c”a faccio
[With nothing, with little, with too much, with a "maybe I'll make it"]
Penzavo ca ‘int’ô cielo ce steva coccosa che s’er”a truvà
[I thought that in the sky there was something to be found]
Nn’tiene niente ‘a truvà finché ancora nun te truove tu
[You have nothing to find until you find yourself]
