'O Mar For
Appicc' n'ata sigaretta
Allà ce sta mammà ca chiagne e nun da' retta
Cu sta fatica mo' c'attamm pur' 'a Reggia 'e Caserta
So' crisciut' mmiez' 'a via, 'o sacc' chell' ch' m'aspetta
Nu guaglion' do sistema, mo' vuo' sistema' 'utt' cos'
Mmiezz' 'a via e' megl' 'a tene' fierr' o accattar' 'e ros'
Patm' sta carcerat', so' ll'omm' 'e cas'
Lievice 'e man' 'a cuoll' ca chill' m'e' frat
E me fa mal' o' cor', 'o saje pur' tu (pur' tu)
Nun ce vaco a' scola, no, ma' nun ce vaco cchiù
M'acchiapp 'na cariol' cu' 'nu chil' 'e fum'
Mar' mo' sta for', nun mo pozz' vere' cchiù
Nun te preoccupa' guaglio', ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Arret' 'e sbarr', sott' o' ciel' ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Nun te preoccupa' guaglio', ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Arret' 'e sbarr', sott' o' ciel' ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Riceno c'av' mill' culure
Agg' vist' sul' o' grigiume (na, na, na, na, na, na)
Int' o' cortil' e' guaglion'
Se fann' n'ata strisc'
Tutt' 'e juorne egual, vogl' ascì (vogl' ascì)
O mor' a cca' ddint' o mor' acciso
'A capa me fa' mal', n'arriv' a' capì
Si so' nat' cca', qual'è 'a colpa mia?
Manno miso o' fierr' 'n man' e mann' ditto spar'
Napule 'a cca' ddint' par' assaje luntana
Tutt' 'e juorne penso c'agg' fatt' 'e mal'?
Tutt' 'e juorne, tutt' 'e juorne pens' 'o mar' (pens'o' mar')
Nun te preoccupa' guaglio', ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Arret' 'e sbarr', sott' o' ciel' ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Nun te preoccupa' guaglio', ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Arret' 'e sbarr', sott' o' ciel' ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Nun te preoccupa' guaglio', ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Arret' 'e sbarr', sott' o' ciel' ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
Nun te preoccupa' guaglio', ce sta o' mar' for'
Ce sta o' mar' for', ce sta o' mar' for'
'The Sea Outside'
Light up another cigarette
Mom's out there crying, not listening at all
With this struggle, I might as well head to the Royal Palace
I grew up in the streets, I know what’s waiting for me
A kid from the system, now you wanna fix everything
In the streets, it’s better to hold a gun than to buy a rose
I’m stuck in this prison, I’m just a man from the block
Hands tied behind my back, 'cause those guys are my brothers
And it hurts my heart, you know it too (you too)
I’m not going to school, no, I’m done with that
I’m caught in a cart with a kilo of smoke
The sea’s out there, I can’t see it anymore
Don’t worry, kid, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Behind the bars, under the sky, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Don’t worry, kid, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Behind the bars, under the sky, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
They say we have a thousand colors
I’ve only seen the gray (na, na, na, na, na, na)
In the courtyard, the kids
They make another banner
Every day the same, I wanna get out (I wanna get out)
Or I’ll die here, or I’ll die shot
My head’s killing me, I can’t understand
If I was born here, what’s my fault?
I’m holding the gun in my hand and I’m ready to shoot
Naples feels so far away from here
Every day I think I’ve done something wrong?
Every day, every day I think of the sea (think of the sea)
Don’t worry, kid, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Behind the bars, under the sky, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Don’t worry, kid, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Behind the bars, under the sky, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Don’t worry, kid, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Behind the bars, under the sky, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
Don’t worry, kid, there’s the sea outside
There’s the sea outside, there’s the sea outside
