Vesuvio

If you climb or if you climb on a broomstickSi mont' o si 'ma mont' 'e na jastemm'
If death is a death that can trembleSi 'a morte si 'na mort' ca' po' tremm'
Mountain made of lava and ashMontagna fatta 'e lava 'e cient' len' (gue)
You hold in your hands this half life of mineTu tien' 'mman a te' sta vita meja
Whether it's a bunch of houses or a bunch of jailSo pizz' 'e case o so pizz' 'e galera
where you're locked from morning till nightaddò staje chiuse d'a matina a sera
you're the purgatory of all these peoplesi' o purgatorio 'e tutt' chesta 'ggente
who live in shacks and die of hungerca vive dint' e barrache e vive 'e stient'

whether we smoke or we don't smoke, it makes noisesi fumm' o si nun fumm' 'o faje rumore
the fire that brings you into the heart'o fuoco che te puort' dint' o core
when the sky gets dark at nightquann' fa notte 'e o ciel' se fa scur'
the memory of you scares ussul' o ricordo 'e te ce fa paura
whoever lives with you, you don't carechi campa 'nsiene 'a te, te para' nient'
if you go crazy, you're really crazysi jesce pazz è pazz overamente
the only truth for everyonel'unica verità pe' tutt' quante
would be what wassarria chell' 'e fui'
but then where do we go, before it's dayma po' addo' jamm' , primma ca tocca juorno
after all this fire and lava takes us alldopp' tant' stu' ffuoco e lava ce port' tutt' quant'
in the middle of the streeta 'mmiez' a via
(instrumental)(strumentale)
whoever lives with you, you don't carechi campa 'nsiene 'a te, te para' nient'
if you go crazy, you're really crazysi jesce pazz è pazz overamente
the only truth for everyonel'unica verità pe' tutt' quante
would be what wassarria chell' 'e fui'
