Brigante se more

Avimme pusate chitarre e tammurepecchè sta musica s'ha da cagnà.Simme brigant' e facimme paurae ca sch'uppetta vulimme cantàe ca sch'uppetta vulimme cantà.

E mo cantam' 'sta nova canzonetutta la gente se l'ha da 'mparà.Nun ce ne fott' do' re Burbonea terra è a nosta e nun s'ha da tuccàa terra è a nosta e nun s'ha da tuccà.

Tutt' e païse da Bas'l'cat'se so' scetat' e mo stann' a luttàpure a Calabbria mo s' è arravutat'e 'stu nemic' o facimm' tremmàe 'stu nemic' o facimm' tremmà.

Chi ha vist' o lupo e s' è mise paur'nun sape büon qual' è 'a ver'tào ver' lup' ca magn' e creatur'è o piemuntese c'avimm' 'a cacciàè o piemuntese c'avimm' 'a caccià.

Femm'na bell' ca dat' lu cor'se 'stu brigant' u vulit' salvànun c' cercat' scurdat'v' o nomechi ce fa a guerra nun tien' a pietàchi ce fa a guerra nun tien' a pietà.

'Omm' s' nasc' brigant' s' mor'ma fin' all'utm' avimm' a sparàe se murim' menat' nu fior'e 'na bestemmia pe' 'sta libertàe 'na bestemmia pe' 'sta libertà.

Die a brigand

We laid down our guitars and our drumsbecause this music has to change.We are bandits1, we are scaryand we want to sing with our riflesand we want to sing with our rifles.

Now we sing this new songeveryone has to learn it.We don't give a damn about the Bourbon king2the land belongs to us, nobody shall touch it,the land belongs to us, nobody shall touch it.

All the villages of Basilicatahave woken up and are fighting now,Calabria3 too is up in armsand we make our enemy tremble,and we make our enemy tremble.

Those who saw a wolf and got scareddon't know the truth yet.The real wolf that eats childrenis the Piedmontese4 we have to throw out,is the Piedmontese we have to throw out.

Beautiful woman who gives her heartif you want to keep the bandit safedon't go looking for him, forget his name,those who wage war on us have no mercy,those who wage war on us have no mercy.

Born a man, die a brigandbut we have to fight until the very endand if we die, bring us a flowerand a curse for this freedom,and a curse for this freedom.
