Le radici Ca Tieni
Treble-Don Rico-Terron Fabio-Nandu Popu
'Rit.: Se nu te scierri mai delle radici ca tieni
rispetti puru quiddre delli paisi lontani!
Se nu te scierri mai de du ede ca ieni
dai chiu valore alla cultura ca tieni!
Simu salentini dellu munnu cittadini,
radicati alli messapi cu li greci e bizantini,
uniti intra stu stile osce cu li giammaicani,
dimme mo de du ede ca sta bieni!
Rico Egnu dellu salentu e quannu mpunnu parlu dialettu
e nu mbede filu no Ca l'italianu nu lu sacciu
ca se me mintu cu riflettu parlu lu jamaicanu strittu
perche l'importante e cu sai nu pocu de tuttu
anche se de tuttu a fiate me ne futtu
ma se na cosa me interessa su capace puru me fissu
se ete quiddhru ca oiu fazzu me mintu ddhrai e fazzu cè pozzu
perche addrhu bessere ieu ca decidu te mie stessu
ca la vera cultura è cu sai vivere
cu biessi testu ma sempre sensibile
puru ca la vita ete dura è meiu sai amare
puru quannu te pare ca ete impossibile.
Fabio Me la difendu, la tegnu stritta cullu core
la cultura mia rappresenta quiddru ca é statau e ca ha benire
Intra stu munnu, a du nu tene chiui valore
Ci parla diversu o de diversu ede culure!
Te ne leanu tuttu puru la voglia de amare,
cussi ca tanta gente a pacciu modu stae a regire!
Te ne leanu tuttu puru le ricchie pe sentire,
ci chiange e chiede aiutu pe li torti ca stae a subire
Te ne leanu puru la terra de sutta li piedi,
se cattanu tuttu quiddru a cui tie nci tieni
Me dispiace pe tuttu quiddru ca ne sta gliati
Ma stamu ancoraa quai, de quai nu ne limu mai sciuti!
Rit.
Nandu E riu della terra a du nce sempre lu sule
a du la gente cerca umbra ca la po defrescare.
Stae scrittu sulle petre quiddru ca aggiu capire
su parole antiche percé l'uomu nu po cangiare!
Memoria ede cultura e bede quistu ca ole:
recorda ce ha successu cussì pueti capire
lu boia denta vittima puru dopu menz'ura
ma la vittima denta boia se nu tene cultura!
Su ste radici nui stamu ben radicati
ni fannu amare populi mai canusciuti
ni scosta de ci medita l'odiu e la guerra
ma de sti criminali la mente mia nu se scerra!
Treble Difendila!
Quannu poi difendila!
E' la terra toa, amala e difendila!
Ntorna moi, difendila!
Quannu poi difendila!
E' la terra toa, amala e difendila! De cine?
De ci ole cu specula e corrompe, difendila!
De ci ole sfrutta l'ignoranza, difendila!
De ci ole svende l'arte noscia, difendila!
De ci nu bole crisca ancora, difendila!
Pe ci nu tene chiù speranza
Pe ci ha rimastu senza forza, difendila!
Pe ci nu pote ma nci crite, difendila!
Pe ci nu te pote secutare, difendila!
Rico Egnu de lu salentu e quannu mpunnu parlu dialettu
e nu bete pecce ca l'Italianu nullu sacciu
ca se buenu me recordu do parole de woolof africanu
chep gen è lu risu cullu pisce ca se mangia culle manu
e "mu nu mu cu bbai" vuol dire nun ne pozzu fare a menu
e "man gi dem man gi dem" vuol dire sciamu moi sciamu
a du ete ca uei basta ca rispettu purtamu
e ca ne facimu rispettare pe quiddhri ca simu
ca la cultura vera è cu sai itere
la realtà pe quiddhra ca ete sia ca è facile sia ca è difficile
la cultura vera è cu sai capire
ci tene veramente besegnu ci ete lu chiu debole
Fabio Me la difendu, stritta e forte cullu core
quista e' la poesia ca crea sta terra cull'amore.
Quiddra ca muti, tenenu modu te sentire
grazie a ci la porta in giru oci a quai la po saggiare.
Nandu E riu della terra a du nce sempre lu sule
e alla gente ca ria nci pensa sempre lu mare!
A quai stae scrittu sulle petre ce aggiu capire
cercu cu te le spiegu, perché nu ta scerrare!
Treble Difendila!
Quannu poi difendila!
E' la terra toa, amala e difendila!
Ntorna moi, difendila!
Quannu poi difendila!
E' la terra toa, amala e difendila!

The roots Ca Partecipa
Treble-Don Rico-Terron Fabio-Nandu Popu
'Rit.: If you never untie the roots, keep them
respect pure quiddre of distant countries!
If you never forget about two things, come on
give value to the culture you care about!
Simu Salentini of the munnu citizens,
rooted in the Messapi as the Greeks and Byzantines,
united in this Osce style with Jamaicans,
tell me how du ede is good!
I remember Egnu from Salentu and whenever I speak dialect
and no mbede filu no Ca l'italianu no lu sacciu
ca se me mintu cu reflectu parlu lu jamaicanu strittu
because the important thing is that you know a little about everything
even if I didn't give a damn about it all
but if I'm interested in anything, I'll be able to fix it
if you are quiddhru ca oiu fazzu me mintu ddhrai and fazzu there is pozzu
because addrhu beessere ieu ca decideu te minessu
true culture is how you know how to live
cu biessi testu but always sensitive
after all, life is hard and you know how to love better
Even when it seems impossible to you.
Fabio Defend her for me, hold her tight to your heart
my culture represents quiddru ca é statou e ca ha benire
Intra stu munnu, a du nu tene tene closurei value
It speaks to us differently about different cultures!
You're missing all of it, even the desire to love,
cussi ca so many people in pacciu modu are managing!
I'll leave you all the riches to hear,
he calls us and asks for help with the wrongs he is about to suffer
You can't leave even the earth under your feet,
if you cattanu all the things you care about
I'm sorry that everything is out of place
But here we are still, no one has ever known about this!
Rit.
Nandu And riu of the earth to du nce always lu sule
in du the people are looking for Umbria to cool down.
It is written on the stones that you can further understand
on ancient words because man cannot change!
Memory and culture and bede this question:
recorda succeeded so you can understand
The executioner denta victim puru afterpu menz'ura
but the victim is an executioner if he has no culture!
We are well rooted on these roots
they don't make people love who have never lived
hate and war keep us away from us
but my mind will never escape these criminals!
Treble Defend it!
Quannu then defend her!
It's your land, love it and defend it!
Come back, defend her!
Quannu then defend her!
It's your land, love it and defend it! Tens?
From those who speculate and corrupt, defend it!
De ci ole exploits ignorance, defend it!
De ci ole sells out harmful art, defend it!
Let there be no more trouble, defend it!
So you can't hold on to any hope
If she left us without strength, defend her!
If you can't but don't criticize us, defend it!
To avoid anything you can do, defend her!
I remember Egnu from Salento and whenever I speak dialect
and don't bete pecce ca l'Italianu nullu sacciu
It's good for me to record the words of African wool
chep gen è lu risu cullu pisce ca se eat culle manu
and "mu nu mu cu bbai" means I can't do it on the menu
and "man gi dem man gi dem" means sciamu moi sciamu
a couple of years ago that's enough to respect purtamu
and can make us respect it for this reason
the real culture is where you know iter
the reality for quiddhra is both easy and difficult
true culture is what you know how to understand
we really care besegnu you are the weak one
Fabio Defend me, tight and strong cullu core
This is the poetry that creates this land of love.
Quiddra ca muti, tenenu way to feel
thanks to this he brings it around to where we can test it.
Nandu And riu of the earth to du nce always lu sule
and the sea always thinks of the dear people!
What is written on the stones makes us understand more
I'll try to explain them to you, because you can't get away with it!
Treble Defend it!
Quannu then defend her!
It's your land, love it and defend it!
Come back, defend her!
Quannu then defend her!
It's your land, love it and defend it!
