(Ragazzi Di Scampia)

Simme nat' ajere ma già sapimme
Ca pe'campa'
Ce vo'a scola d'a strada pe'ce'mpara'
E cercamm 'o sole dint'a munnezza
Pe'ce scarfa'
Pecchè o friddo mpiett chiù male fa
Si o dimane nun tene dimane
Sapimme che ffa'
Nuje pe fforza cacciamm 'o curagg
Pe nun ce penza'
Si a vita te mette paura
Si 'a notte addeventa chiù scura
Socchiudi la porta del cuore
Nu pizzeco 'e luce a dint'o core fa asci'
Nun te preoccupa'ca nu quarto 'e lune sta sempre là
Ca si allunghe a mano t'ho po'piglia'
Mettimmece a posto 'a cuscienza
Mangiammece pane e pacienza
La musica è vera speranza
E chesta speranza chiù ricche ce fa'
Trase dint'e vicole d'e quartier'e tutt'a città
E si pure tu stai scetato te fa sunna'
Senza casco a vvote affruntamm 'a morte pe'scemità
Ce sta chi s'o mette pe ghi' a spara'
Nun tenimm e sord pe nu gelato
Ca po'scarfa'
Na guagliona bella pa ta vasa'
Ma tenimme chi canta'e canzon
Pe fa'annammurra'
Chi ce presta 'na machina 'a sera
Pe'farla affaccia'
Si'a vita te mett paur
Si'a notte addiventa chiù scura
Socchiudi la porta del cuore
Nu pizzec'e luce a dint'o core fa asci'
Nun te preoccupa'ca nu quart 'e luna sta sempre là
Ca'si allunghe a mano t'o poi piglia'
Simm nat addo'niente ce sta
Da nisciun vulimm pietà
Ma sti figl dint'o foco e l'inferno
Nun vonno pazzia'
E sti mamm a paura d'a mort non ponno stuta'
E noi che stiamo qui
Diciamo a tutta la gente
Che della vita nostra o sa poco o sa niente
Guardiamoci negli occhi
E se una lacrima scende
Nuje simm tale e qual
Pure nuje simm gente
Mettimece a posto 'a cuscienza
Mangiammece pane e pacienza
La musica è vera speranza
E chesta speranza chiù ricche ce fa'
Chesta è na canzone
Ca zittu zitt ce fa allucca'
E lluccamm ca 'a voce rott
'e chesta città





(Grazie a Francesco per questo testo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gigi Finizio's "Musica E Speranza" talks about the struggles of living in Scampia, a neighborhood in Naples, Italy. The singers describe how they try to survive in the streets, facing the cold and the dangers that come with living in a rough area. They search for warmth in the garbage and for hope in the music they make, singing songs of love to forget the pain of their reality. They encourage each other not to fear life, and to hold onto the small light that can be found in their hearts. The song emphasizes the importance of music as a source of hope, something that can bring richness to their lives, and provide a sense of purpose.


The lyrics reflect the harsh realities of living in Scampia, where poverty and crime are rampant, and the police often overlook the struggles of the people living there. The song describes the bravery of the young people who face death every day and the fear of the mothers who worry for their children's safety. The lyrics also express a sense of community and unity among the people of Scampia, who come together to sing and create music as a way to escape their harsh realities. The song's title, "Musica E Speranza" (music and hope), serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of music to lift people's spirits in the darkest of times.
