Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
capa mia ferniscela de arraggiuna'
sento a voce do sanghe ca allucca forte vo' libbertà
si a vita te chiamma nun 'a può ffa' cchiù aspetta'
si nu mumento tu campe felice
vale ciento anne 'e salute se dice
una senza n'ato nun sanno sta'
gira cuorpo e fa' ggira' 'nzieme a tte pure ll'anema
una senza n'ato nun ponno sta'
nun me voglio cchiù spartere accussì tra cuorpo e anema
mo' cua panza so' libbero de arraggiuna'
si nu mumento tu campe cuntento
oggi o dimane nun conta cchiù niente
canta abballa fanno pace oggi cca' cuorpo e anema
una senza n'ato nun sanno sta'
gira cuorpo e fa' ggira' 'nzieme a tte pure ll'anema
una senza n'ato nun ponno sta'
