Translation to:enit

O padrone

O padrone nun va duje sordiDice sempe ‘e faticà’E nuie ce magnammo ‘o limonePe’ duje sordi ca ce dà‘o padrone ogg’è venutoNce vuleva parlà’Stateve accorte ccà zompa tutto coseE ‘na botta nce ha cugliuto là

Quanta luce cchiù miseria nun ce stà‘Mparadiso se sta buonoSenza nisciuno ca ce vo’ cumannà’‘O Signore nun va duje sordëDice sempe ‘e prià’Ca prianno ‘a MaronnaCa ‘ncoppa ‘a terra po’ cagnà

‘O Signore ogg’è venutoNce vuleva parlà’Ma che ve site miso ‘ncapa‘Mparadiso s’adda faticà’Quanta luce ‘mparadiso nun se po’ stà’Nemmeno muorte stammo buonoManco ‘o limone nce putimmö magnà’.

The boss

The boss is worthless.1He always tells us to workAnd we [can] only eat the bitter part2For that dirt measly salary that he gives us.The boss today came to us,He wanted to tell us:"Be careful, everything is going to blow up"And then an explosion hit us to death3.

[There is] so much light, there is no more misery,In Paradise we are [finally] going wellAnd no-one wants to boss us around.The Lord is worthless1[And] always tells [us] to pray:If we pray Holy MarySomething on the Earth may change.

The Lord today came to us,He wanted to tell us:"What's the matter with you?Even in Heaven you must work"[There is] so much light, it's impossible to stay here in Paradise:Not even the dead [ones] are going well,And we have not even bitter parts to eat4.
