E MALE LENGUE
 
Si tu’ campa dinte a nu paese pitte
e ognuno a ca’ e a lla’ canosce a nate
ce’ sta’ sempe, chillo ca’ nun se’ sta’ zitto
e adda’ sape’ afforza e fatte e late
 
Pure si’ tu’ nun faie niente e male
te fanne e nummere n’cuolle cu’ malizia
e male lengue, parlane sule do’ male
s’hanna spassa’ e t’hanna fa’ a sevizia
 
Si tu’ t’applica e po’ cade malato
chi vene a te’ e po’ te cerca scusa ?
allora si tu’ saie chi a parlato
acchiappele e pietto, e rinfacciale l’accusa
 
O munno se fa’ sempe chiu’ fetende
cu’ tanti male lengue ammieza a via
sapenne ca’ tu’ campa +onestamente
cammina cu’ a capa aizata, e a nomme e Dio
 
A mala lengua e nu mestiere antico
se’ cunbatte cu’ l’affronto e a non curanza
sienteme a me’ a chello ca’ te diche
appilate e recchie, e nun le da’ crianza

THE BAD MOUTHS
 
If you live in a small town ,
 and everyone here and there knows each other
 there is always the ones that don’t stay quite
 and needs to know other peoples business
  
Even if you don’t do nothing wrong,
they do numbers on you with malice
the bad mouths talks only bad about you,
their amusement is only to hurt you
 
If the gossip bodes you and than you get sick
who will come to you and beg your pardon ?
so if you know who has talked bad about you
grab him by his chest and answer the accusation
 
the world get dirtier by the day,
with all these bad mouths in the street
knowing that you live honestly
walk with your head high and in the name of God
 
the bad mouths is a very old trade,
you combat it with confrontation and ignoring
listen to me of what I’m just telling you
plug your hears and don’t give them satisfaction.
