'O sfaticato
Io songo 'o sfaticato d' 'o quartiere
E genio nun ne tengo 'e faticà
Io vaco a spasso d' 'a matina a sera
E so cuntento 'e fa sta vita ccà
Si sta' 'o sole, guardo 'o sole
Quanno chiove guardo l'acqua
Nun fatico e nun me stracquo
Pe' paura 'e me sciupà
So' cuntento, so felice
Tengo 'e llire in quantità
So' stimato, tengo amici
Ca me sanno rispettà
Me ne vaco p' 'a riviera
Tutt' 'e ssere, a ffa' 'o gagà
Faccio 'a corte 'e furastiene
Per le vie della città
Me sento tanto stanco stammatina
Nun me firavo manco 'e me scetà.
M'hanno purtato a pranzo 'na gallina
Ma che fatica faccio pe' mangià
Vaco 'o cinema stasera
Ma me stanco 'e tenè mente
E m'addormo facilmente, p' 'a stanchezza c'aggja fa'
Me ne vaco p' 'a riviera
Tutt' 'e ssere, a ffa' 'o gagà
Faccio 'a corte 'e furastiene
Per le vie della città
'The lazy one
I am the lazy one of the neighborhood
And I don't have the energy to work
I walk around from morning till night
And I'm happy to live this life here
If the sun is out, I look at the sun
When it rains, I look at the water
I don't work hard and I don't tire myself out
For fear of wearing myself out
I'm content, I'm happy
I have plenty of money
I'm respected, I have friends
Who know how to respect me
I go to the waterfront
All the time, acting foolish
I court foreign women
Through the city streets
I feel so tired this morning
I couldn't even get myself out of bed
They brought me a chicken for lunch
But what an effort it is for me to eat
I'm going to the cinema tonight
But I struggle to pay attention
And I easily fall asleep, from the tiredness that overwhelms me
I go to the waterfront
All the time, acting foolish
I court foreign women
Through the city streets
