A VITA NOSTA E’ NU’ SENTIERO
 
A vita nosta e’ comme a nu’ sentiere
ca’ se’ putesse cammina’ senza penziere
pero’ scalpestanne a piede dinte a sti’ prete
ce’sta’chi cammina felice, e chi rimmane adrete
 
Nu’ cuntamme ca’ ce’ stanne e dispiacere
penzamme sempe tutte e guaie da’iere
chiagnimme cu’ dulore e cu’ malanne
Invece e’campa’ oggi a comme stamme
 
Chi penza troppo a chelle ca’ ha passato
campa cu’ arraggia e comme nu’ dannato
io ringrazio o Signore pe’ chesta’ vita mia
me sose ogni matina e a nomme e Dio
 
Me’ faccie a croce e dico na preghiera
Ca’ me’ me’ facesse scurda’ chelle da’iere
cerco e passa’ sta’ jiurnata allegramente
pecche’a fine e cunte sule sta’ vita io tenghe

OUR LIFE IS LIKE A PATH
 
Our life is like a path,
 that we could be walking on it without worries
 but has we walk barefoot in the pebbles,
 there is who walks happy, and who is left behind
  
We don’t figure that there is sadness
 We always think of misfortunes of yeasterday
 we cry with pain and with sickness,
 instead of living today the best way we can
 
 Whoever things of the past to much ,
 lives angry and like a damned person
 I always thank the Lord for this life of mine,
 I get up each morning in Gods name
  
Make the sign of the Cross and say a Prayer,
 that He would make me forget my past
 I try to live this day has happy as I can,
 because after all, this is the only life I have
