Original
Comm'è stretta 'sta via
'A 'ggente nun ce cape
Se fa 'na prucessione
Ca cammina chianu chianu
Nun è muorto nisciuno
Nun è 'o santo e nisciuno
Nun se sente 'na voce
E nun sona 'na campana
E intanto 'o core aspetta
Ca s'arapene 'e funtane
E chiove, 'ncapo 'e criature
Vulesse arravuglià 'sta luna cu na funa
Pe m'a purtà luntano, pe m'a purtà luntano
Addò 'o cielo che è cielo nun se fa mai scuro
E chiove, 'nterra e nisciuno
Vulesse cummannà pe spremmere 'e dulure
Dinto a 'stu ciummo amaro, ca nun canosce 'o mare
Pecché 'o mare luntano eppure sta vicino
Comm'è longa 'sta via
Pecché nun sponta mai
Se perde dinto 'e prete
'Nmiezzo 'e carte arravugliate
Sotto a l'evera 'e muro
Ca s'arrampeca e giura
'E jastemme de juorne
'E serate senza pane
E intanto 'o core aspetta
Ca s'arapene 'e funtane
E chiove, 'ncapo 'e criature
Vulesse arravuglià 'sta luna cu na funa
Pe m'a purtà luntano, pe m'a purtà luntano
Addò 'o cielo che è cielo nun se fa mai scuro
E chiove, 'nterra e nisciuno
Vulesse cummannà pe spremmere 'e dulure
Dinto a 'stu ciummo amaro, ca nun canosce 'o mare
Pecché 'o mare luntano eppure sta vicino
Dinto a 'stu ciummo amaro, ca nun canosce 'o mare
Pecché 'o mare luntano eppure sta vicino

This street is so narrow
people don't fit
it becomes a procession
that proceeds very slowly
No one died
it is no one's saint
you don't hear a voice
and no bells ring
in the meantime the heart waits
for the fountains to run
and it rains on children's heads
I want to lasso the moon with a rope
to take me far away ,take me far away
where the sky is the sky and it never darkens
it rains ,no one's land
I want to squeeze the pain
into the sour river,that knows not the ocean
because the ocean is far and yet it's near
this road is so long
it never leads anywhere
it loses itself in the rocks
and amid crumbled papers
beneath the grass and the wall
it takes over and promises
and it swears this day
and night without bread
and in the meantime the heart waits
for the fountains to run
and it rains on children's heads
I want to lasso the moon with a rope
to take me far away ,take me far away
where the sky is the sky and it never darkens
it rains ,no one's land
I want to squeeze the pain
into the sour river,that knows not the ocean
because the ocean is far and yet it's near
into the sour river,that knows not the ocean
because the ocean is far and yet it's near
