Innocente Carcerato
Su carceratu ma nun sacciu comu
Senza mi fazzu nenti su ngalera
Cundanna e nu nnucenti e poveromu
Lu munnu si votau, non è com'era!
Cu sti catini e cu sti cippi ai pedi
Li portu ppe castigu a tutti l'uri
Ppe mia nun ci su santi nne preghieri
Nemmenu chiu mi senti lu signuri
Lalalalaaa lalalalaaaa quant'è bella la libertà
Appena mi portaru nta sta cella
E mi chiudiru nta si quattru mura
Pensu la libertà quant'era bedda
Ora mi trovu nta sta sepoltura
Intortamenti mannu cundannatu
A vintun anni I carceru penali
E su ca dintra comu a nu dannatu
Chiddu che fici u fattu è bonu I pedi
Lalalalaaaa lalalalaaaa quant'è bedda la libertà
Poveri I figghj mei su abbandunati
Senza nu patri comu hannu a fari
E mugghjeri mia mi misi tri avvucati
Vidimu si mi ponnu liberari
Lalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaa quant'è bedda la libertà
Lalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaaa quant'è bedda la libertà
Innocent Prisoner
Locked up but I don't know why
Without me doing anything in jail
Sentenced as an innocent and poor man
The world has changed, it's not the same!
With these chains and with these shackles on my feet
I carry them for punishment every hour
For me, there are no saints or prayers
Not even the Lord hears me anymore
Lalalalaaa lalalalaaaa how beautiful freedom is
As soon as they brought me into this cell
And locked me in these four walls
I think about how beautiful freedom was
Now I find myself in this tomb
Wrongly sentenced, condemned
To twenty years in prison
And now inside like a damned
What I did was good, I stand by it
Lalalalaaaa lalalalaaaa how beautiful freedom is
My poor children are abandoned
Without a father, what can they do?
And my wife, three children she bore
Let's see if they can set me free
Lalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaa how beautiful freedom is
Lalalalaaaaa lalalalaaaaa how beautiful freedom is
