Quannu me matri mi fici vattiari
comu na zita mi vosi fasciari
la so ricchizza era sulu ddu velu
a mia lassau 'n pizzuddu di cielu
Pani e cipudda cunzatu cu nnenti
chistu è lu piattu di la me genti
sulu a li festi si mancia la carni
disiu d'un pumu crisciva cu l'anni
Tanti cristiani sutta lu munti
cu la fatica scritta nta frunti
ad aspittari la terra prumissa
sempri 'n parrinu ca dici la missa
Terra scurdata di Diu e di santi
'n manu ci resta chiddu chi chianci
tutta la vita sempri aspittari
aspetta aspetta a cu 'n veni mai
Gira sta rota gira stu munnu
o arrivi 'n cielu o resti 'n funnu
chi sorti amara ristari sulu
senza putiri manciari ddu pumu.

Quando mia madre mi fece battezzare
come una sposa mi volle fasciare
la sua ricchezza era solo quel velo
a me lasciò un pezzetto di cielo
Pane e cipolla condito con niente
questo è il piatto della mia gente
solo alle feste si mangia la carne
il desiderio d'una mela cresceva con gli anni
Tanti uomini sotto quel monte
con la fatica scritta sulla fronte
ad aspettare la terra promessa
c'è sempre un prete che dice la messa
Terra scordata da Dio e dai santi
in mano ci resta quello che piangi
tutta la vita sempre aspettare
aspetta, aspetta… chi non arriva mai
Gira questa ruota, gira questo mondo
o arrivi in cielo o resti in fondo
che sorte amara restare soli
senza poter mangiare quella mela.
