Take a Pill

Pigliate 'Na Pastiglia

I walk every nightIo cammino ogni notte
I walk staggeringio cammino sbarianno
I never have sleepio nun tengo mai suonno
I never close my eyes and I don't drink coffeenon chiudo mai ll'uocchie e non bevo cafe'

A shutter that bangs'Na perziana ca sbatte
A streetlight that shines'nu lampione ca luce
and a drunkard saying knocking on a doore 'nu 'mbriaco che dice bussanno a 'na porta
Do you open, Cunce'?M'arape Cunce'?
For three months I don't sleep anymore,'A tre mise nun dormo cchiu',
a little mouth would like to forget'na vucchella vurria scurda'
People tell me what should I do?Gente diciteme comme 'aggia fa?
Take a pillPigliate 'na pastiglia
Take a pill, listen to me!Pigliate 'na pastiglia, siente a mme!
To make me fall asleepPe me fa addurmi'
To make me forgetpe me fa scurda'
my sweet loveil mio dolce amor
Take a pillPigliate 'na pastiglia
Take a pill, listen to me!Pigliate 'na pastiglia, siente a mme!
To make me feelPe me fa senti'
like a great lordcome un gran pascia'
and it intoxicates my heart!e mi inebria il cuor!
In the shop windows of all the pharmacistsDint' 'e vetrine 'e tutte 'e farmaciste
the old chamomile has given wayla vecchia camomilla ha dato il posto
to the pills and glycerophosphateAlle palline e glicerofosfato
bromotelevisionated zero zero three grams.bromotelevisionato grammi zero zero tre.
Ah!Ah!
Take a pill, listen to me!Pigliate 'na pastiglia, siente a mme!

In the dark a cat'Into 'o scuro 'na gatta
chewing a sardinemastecanno 'na sarda
sweetly looks at medoce doce me guarda
looks at me if it rubs against me meows and saysme guarda se struscia miagola e fa
Listen to me, go to sleepSiente a mme, va te a cucca'
Listen to me, go to sleepSiente a mme, va te a cucca'
I'm a donkey of a cartSo' 'nu ciuccio 'e carretta
Loaded with loveCarrecato d'ammore
that pulls this heartca se tira stu core
this heart that seeks happiness!stu core che cerca la felicita'!
For three months I don't sleep anymore,'A tre mise nun dormo cchiu',
a little mouth would like to forget'na vucchella vurria scurda'
People tell me what should I do?Gente diciteme comme 'aggia fa?
