Na Lettera

Song nato rind a na paura
Na notte ind o scure
Pigliaiene a papà
Io sei anni sentev e sirene
Mammà ch chiagnev rind a povertà
So crisciut miezz a l'avvocato
N'assenza e nu pate
Nu mare e peccati
Ma stong cà
Caro papà

Sti trentann ormai so passat
Nun so chiu creatur
So crisciut papà
Ch'ella lettera lagg astipat
Scriviv fa o brav tutt adda passà
Chesta vita fa semp paur
E pure ind o scur nun song sicur
Ma rest ca come il mio papà

A me sti mur fann paur
Pensann a te ca stai rind o scur
Mammà ch chiagn e t'aspett ancor
Ma so trentann e nun ver l'ora
Mo so crisciut nun so chiu creatur
Ma me ricord quand iev a scol
N'affermazzion fuje ro professor
Al tuo papà nun o cunosc ancor

Ra chillu iuorn
Nun so gliut chiù a scol
Po la capit chi er o professor
Io song o figl e n'omme d'onore
Ogg stong io nun me ferm nisciun
Pur si sacc ca e tutt sbagliat
Ciò dic a tutt e frate mij ra strad
Cagnat vit nun e comm pensat
Nun è nu film sta strada sbagliat
Ve putite salvà

In the Letter

Born into fear
A night in the dark
I took my dad
At six years old I heard the sirens
Mom crying in poverty
I grew up among lawyers
Absence of a father
A sea of sins
But I'm here
Dear dad

These thirty years have passed
I'm no longer a child
I grew up, dad
That letter you left behind
Said to be good, everything will pass
This life always brings fear
And even in the dark, I'm not sure
But I stay here like my dad

These walls scare me
Thinking of you in the dark
Mom crying and still waiting for you
But I'm thirty and can't wait any longer
Now I've grown up, I'm no longer a child
But I remember when I went to school
A statement from the teacher
Your dad, I still don't know him

Since that day
I never went back to school
Then it happened that the teacher
I am the son of a man of honor
Today I'm here, I won't stop for anyone
Even if I know it's all wrong
I tell all my brothers on the street
Change your life, it's not as you think
This isn't a movie, this road is wrong
You can save yourselves.
