Innocente Carcerato

Innocent Prisoner

Innocente Carcerato

Locked up but I don't know whySu carceratu ma nun sacciu comu
Without me doing anything in jailSenza mi fazzu nenti su ngalera
Sentenced as an innocent and poor manCundanna e nu nnucenti e poveromu
The world has changed, it's not the same!Lu munnu si votau, non è com'era!

With these chains and with these shackles on my feetCu sti catini e cu sti cippi ai pedi
I carry them for punishment every hourLi portu ppe castigu a tutti l'uri
For me, there are no saints or prayersPpe mia nun ci su santi nne preghieri
Not even the Lord hears me anymoreNemmenu chiu mi senti lu signuri

Lalalalaaa lalalalaaaa how beautiful freedom isLalalalaaa lalalalaaaa quant'è bella la libertà

As soon as they brought me into this cellAppena mi portaru nta sta cella
And locked me in these four wallsE mi chiudiru nta si quattru mura
I think about how beautiful freedom wasPensu la libertà quant'era bedda
Now I find myself in this tombOra mi trovu nta sta sepoltura

Wrongly sentenced, condemnedIntortamenti mannu cundannatu
To twenty years in prisonA vintun anni I carceru penali
And now inside like a damnedE su ca dintra comu a nu dannatu
What I did was good, I stand by itChiddu che fici u fattu è bonu I pedi

Lalalalaaaa lalalalaaaa how beautiful freedom isLalalalaaaa lalalalaaaa quant'è bedda la libertà

My poor children are abandonedPoveri I figghj mei su abbandunati
Without a father, what can they do?Senza nu patri comu hannu a fari
And my wife, three children she boreE mugghjeri mia mi misi tri avvucati
Let's see if they can set me freeVidimu si mi ponnu liberari

Lalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaa how beautiful freedom isLalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaa quant'è bedda la libertà
Lalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaaa how beautiful freedom isLalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaaa quant'è bedda la libertà
