'L SETMIN (Aversa - Amisano)

Ego te incanto in nomine Dei
per la serpe e i so fratej
lo scurpiun e ‘l ragn d’la crus.
Avie, masche e can rabius.

An cui di sì stort ch'a nassu bei e mort
ch'a fan sagnè 'l servell sinchè gnente l'è pi bel
sinchè gnente l'è pi giúst e al mund a smija mach frúst,
frúst e sensa 'n duman e t'ses sul parei d'an can.

A j andria 'n setmin cuntra fisica e malura
a j andria 'n setmin par fé la desmentejura
a j andria 'n setmin par gavesse la paúra
a j andria 'n setmin...

Ant' l’eva d'an catin mach tre stisse d'eoli fin,
che s’a restu per lur cunt a j'è chi t'veul nen bin al mund,
campa na cioca d’i to' cavej e d’i pi lung e d’i pi bej,
s’a s'anturcinu cume serpent a j è la masca ch'a t'da 'l turment.

A j andria 'n setmin...

E la masca a l'è a so ca an cust pais sciupà
‘n dua che gnente a cambia mai, tuti i dì li stess travaj
lon ch'è gram e lon ch'è bun t'lu dis la televisiun
e la rasun pitost che 'l tort a l'è ‘d chi braja pi fort.

A j andria 'n setmin...

Ché la vita l'è dúra.

Setmin, fe chitè túti i sagrin
setmin, ferma 'l mund: stagu nen bin!

THE HEALER (Aversa – Amisano)

Ego te incanto, in nomine Dei!
For the viper and its brothers:
The skorpion and the crossed spider,
Bees, witches and raged dogs. *

In those such wrong days born already dead
That make your brain bleed till nothing seem to be fine
Till nothing appears to be right and the world seems nothing but worn out
Worn out and with no future and you’re all alone.

Refrain
A healer would be needed against spell and misfortune
A healer would be needed to take off evil eye
A healer would be needed to dispel fears away
A healer would be needed…

Pour three drops of the finest oil into a basin of water
If they do not mix it means that there is someone in the world who does not love you.
Throw a lock of your longer and nicer hair
If it gets entangled as if it were serpents, it means that a witch is tormenting you.

Ref.

And the witch welters in this country at its end
Where nothing ever changes, every day it’s the same old story
T. V. tells you what is good and what is bad
And those who speak louder are right more than wrong.

Ref.

’Cos life is hard.
Healer, stop all the grieves
Healer, stop the world: I’m not well!

* ( Ancient spell against poison)
