Neapolitan's tears

My dear mother,Christmas is comingand being awaymakes me sadhow much would I love lightinga couple of firecrackershow much would I love hearing a piperMake the cot for my baby daughterand lay a plate for me on the tabledo this on Chrirmas Eveas if I were with youme tooHow many tears does it cost us this Americato us neapolitansfor us who weepfor the sky of Naplesbitterly as this breadMy dear mother what iswhat is money good for?For those weeping for homelandit is nothingI have many dollars and I feelcompletely impoverished, more than everI’m dreaming every night of my homeand my daughter and I sense her voiceI also dream of you like (Virgin) Marywith blades in her chestbefore Her crucified SonHow many tears does it cost us this Americato us neapolitansfor us who weepfor the sky of Naplesbitterly as this breadYou’ve written to methat lil'Assunta complainsabout the one who leftand is still awayWhat can I sayIf the daughter wants mommylet her return to this madamMe I won’t return, I’ll stay abroadand continue working for everyoneMe who has lost home, homeland and honourI’m just cannon fodder, I’m an immigrantHow many tears does it cost us this Americato us neapolitansfor us who weepfor the sky of Naplesbitterly as this bread
