LA MALARAZZAWICKED BREED
Un servo tempo fa dentro a 'na piazza,
Gridava a Cristo 'n croce e je diceva:
"Cristo, er mio signore me strapazza,
Me tratta come 'n cane pe' la via.
A serf long ago standing in a square
While praying to Christ crucified spoke these words:
“Jesus, my master always mistreats me,
He treats me like a stray dog.
S'acchiappa tutto con la sua manaccia,
Manco la vita mia dice che è mia...
Distruggila, Gesù, 'sta malarazza!
Distruggila, Gesù, e così sia! Sì..e così sia!"
He takes everything from me with his filthy hands,
He says not even my own life belongs to me,
Jesus, destroy this wicked breed, do it for me!
...do it for me!”
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
E Cristo j' arisponne dalla croce:
"Forse se so' spezzate ste du' braccia?
Chi vole la giustizzia se la faccia!
Guarda che fine ho fatto, e so' er Messia...
Then Jesus replies him from the cross:
“Why this, maybe are both your arms broken?
If you want justice, do it by yourself!
No one is ready to do it for you anymore!
Se tu sei 'n'omo e nun sei testa pazza,
Ascorta bene 'sta sentenza mia,
Io nun sarei inchiodato pe' la via
Se fossi annato contro a 'sta follia...
Io nun sarei inchiodato pe' la via !
If you are a man and you are no fool
So listen well to this advice of mine:
Had I done what I am telling you to do
I would not be nailed here on this cross!”
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Te lamenti, ma che te lamenti? Pija 'sto bastone e tira fora li denti...
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
Stop moaning, what are you moaning about? Pick up a stick and show him your teeth!
