Nun Te Scurdà
'E ssentevo quanno ero figliola, 'o cchiammavano ammore
chellu fuoco ca te nasce mpietto e ca maje se ne more
'e ccumpagne parlavano zitto 'e na cosa scurnosa
ca na femmena 'a fa sulamente 'o mumento ca sposa
e pure si sposa nun songo stata maje
saccio comme volle 'o sanghe e 'o core sbatte forte assaje
quanno 'a voce d'a passione chiamma a te
quanno zitto int' 'a na recchia tu te siente 'e murmuliÀ
nun te scurda' nun te scurda'
nun te scurda' pecchÈ sta vita se ne va
nun te scurda', maje 'e te
nun te scurda' nun te scurda'
nun t' 'o scurda' pecchÈ si no che campe a fa'
nun te scurda' 'e te maje
e tanto 'e llammore ca 'a sciorta m'a miso int' 'e mmane
ca 'o vvengo e 'a ggente pe' chesto me chiamma puttana
nun'aggio maje saputo sta' carcerata int' 'a casa
a chi me schifa dico vuo' vede'
ca 'o cuorpo tu t' 'o vinne comme a me
nun me suppuorte e chest' 'o ssaccio giÀ
i' songo 'o specchio addÙ nun te vulisse maje guarda'
nun te scurda' nun te scurda'
nun te scurda' pecchÈ sta vita se ne va
nunte scurda', maje 'e te
nun te scurda' nun te scurda'
nun t' 'o scurda' pecchÈ si no che campe a fa'
nun te scurda' 'e te, maje.
mamma, puttana o brutta copia 'e n'ommo
chest'È na femmena int' 'a chesta parte 'e munno
ca quanno nasce a cchesto È destinata
e si 'a cummanna 'o core d' 'a ggente È cundannata.
mamma, puttana o brutta copia 'e n'ommo
avesse voluto 'e cchiÙ int' 'a chesta parte 'e munno
apprezzata no p' 'e mascule sgravate no p' 'e chisto
cuorpo bello no p' 'e mazzate che aggio dato
sulamente pecchÈ femmena so' stata
e n
nu catenaccio 'o core nun me l'aggio maje nzerrato
sulamente pecchÈ femmena so' stata
sulamente femmena...
nun te scurda' nun te scurda'
nun te scurda' pecchÈ sta vita se ne va
nun te scurda', maje 'e te
nun te scurda' nun te scurda'
nun t' 'o scurda' pecchÈ si no che campe a fa'
nun te scurda' 'e te, maje.
Don't Forget
'E ssentevo when I was a little girl, they called it love
that fire that's born inside you and never dies
the friends talked quietly about something scandalous
that a woman only does the moment she gets married
and even though I never got married
I know how the blood and the heart beat really hard
when the voice of passion calls to you
when quietly in a corner you hear whispers
don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because this life goes by
don't forget, never you
don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because if not, what are we here for
don't forget you, never
and so much of the love that fate put in my hands
that I come and people call me a whore for this
I never knew I was imprisoned in this house
to those who scorn me I say you want to see
that your body comes to you like mine
you can't stand me and I already know that
I'm the mirror where you'd never want to look
don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because this life goes by
don't forget, never you
don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because if not, what are we here for
don't forget you, never
mom, whore or ugly copy of a man
this is a woman in this part of the world
that when she's born in this place she's destined
and if she commands the people's hearts she's condemned
mom, whore or ugly copy of a man
would have wanted more in this part of the world
appreciated not for the males I've given birth to
beautiful body not for the beatings I've taken
just because I've been a woman
and
I've never locked the padlock on my heart
just because I've been a woman
just a woman...
don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because this life goes by
don't forget, never you
don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because if not, what are we here for
don't forget you, never.
