Era Na Sira e Maggiu

It Was a Night in May

Era Na Sira e Maggiu

It was a night in May, and I got jumpedEra na sira i maggiu, e fui attaccatuu
First day I got engagedPrimu jornu chi mi fici zitu
I was accused of a piece of bad meatD'un pezzi i malacarni fui accusatu
I stayed speechless like a muteRistai senza parola come a nu mutu
They sentenced me to fourteen yearsQuattordici anni a mia mi cundannaru
Without me doing a damn thing, I swearSenza ca fazzu nenti vi lu giuro
They took me to the island of shameAll'isula di scuntu mi portaru
Locked up in a room always darkChiusu nta na stanza sempre oscura
The one who accused me made a pathChiddu chi mi accusaun dè fici strada

You can take my fiancéeMi si poti pigghjari la me zita
But I can’t waste a dayNon ma pozzu sperdirinta jurnata
If I live and get out, I’ll fight for my lifeSi campu e nesciu ci cacciu la vita
A grace was given to me by the LordNa grazia a mia mi fici lu signuri
On the island, I can escapeEl'isula mi pozzu jeu scappari
I’d dress up in a thousand colorsMi travestia di milli culuri
One day it could happen to meUn jornu mi lu pozzu capitari
Yeah, searching through sea and mountainsEjji alla ricerca ppe mari e munti
And when I meet that bastardE quandu l'uncuntrai a stu briganti
I’ll pull the trigger and shoot you in the faceTirai lu mitra en ci sparain tu fruntie
His wife became my loverLa sua sposa me la fici amanti
