"E' 'nu juorno buono" by Rocco Hunt --- TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH!!

Before judging South Italy, try and live there.

Luckily today there’s a different atmosphere

The sun rays get in from the window

My land is so beautiful

I miss it when I leave

I’m bringing a spare postcard with me

This place must not die

My people must not leave

My accent must sound clear

The Waste Crisis        --------->(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples_waste_management_issue)

The increase of tumors

We are the Land of the sun

Not the Land of Fires!    ---------> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_of_death_(Italy))

Luckily this morning the story has changed

I see people smiling carefree

There’s no wickedness

You feel good on the street

The world has stopped

In this beautiful day

[NEAP] It’s a good day

This morning the sun woke me up

The smell of coffee

The stereo playing songs

How much time passed since the last time I felt like this?

Everything starts because it has an end

But I have everything [I need]

This morning there’s nothing missing

I hug Lil’ Gabriele

He falls asleep on my chest

He doesn’t know about problems

He doesn’t know about these idiots

He doesn’t know that life first gives you sweet then poisons you

[NEAP] I kiss my mom

She’s already done with house works

She’s a princess in misery

She gave birth to this guy (me)

She taught me since I was little

That a dream can be true

I’d wipe off all of your wrinkles

Caused by sad things

[ITA] Forget having to leave for job hunting

New firms will prosper in our land

Forget banks, WE will lend them money

No masters, WE will steal their throne

There’s no line in the offices (what?!)

And even though you root for another (soccer) team

You’re still my brother

Make love

Instead of holding that knife

Violence was always the method of those brainless

Cut off that line that splits North from South

I’m watching the air to look for who is not here anymore

It’s a new day for them too

And I’m sure I made you smile from up there too

[NEAP] It’s a good day (Refrain)

It’s a good day… (x3)

[NEAP] It’s a good day (Refrain)

This place must not die

My people must not leave

My accent must sound clear

To my uncle who gets up every morning

To Gennaro who just got a baby

To all the fish-sellers, to all the vegetable-sellers

To all the people of this Rione         ------>("rione": typical Neapolitan city district)
