Era Na Sira e Maggiu
Era na sira i maggiu, e fui attaccatuu
Primu jornu chi mi fici zitu
D'un pezzi i malacarni fui accusatu
Ristai senza parola come a nu mutu
Quattordici anni a mia mi cundannaru
Senza ca fazzu nenti vi lu giuro
All'isula di scuntu mi portaru
Chiusu nta na stanza sempre oscura
Chiddu chi mi accusaun dè fici strada
Mi si poti pigghjari la me zita
Non ma pozzu sperdirinta jurnata
Si campu e nesciu ci cacciu la vita
Na grazia a mia mi fici lu signuri
El'isula mi pozzu jeu scappari
Mi travestia di milli culuri
Un jornu mi lu pozzu capitari
Ejji alla ricerca ppe mari e munti
E quandu l'uncuntrai a stu briganti
Tirai lu mitra en ci sparain tu fruntie
La sua sposa me la fici amanti
It Was a Night in May
It was a night in May, and I got jumped
First day I got engaged
I was accused of a piece of bad meat
I stayed speechless like a mute
They sentenced me to fourteen years
Without me doing a damn thing, I swear
They took me to the island of shame
Locked up in a room always dark
The one who accused me made a path
You can take my fiancée
But I can’t waste a day
If I live and get out, I’ll fight for my life
A grace was given to me by the Lord
On the island, I can escape
I’d dress up in a thousand colors
One day it could happen to me
Yeah, searching through sea and mountains
And when I meet that bastard
I’ll pull the trigger and shoot you in the face
His wife became my lover
