Nu juorno buono [English translation]

Luckily this morning there’s a different atmosphere

The sun with its rays shine through 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 be heard

The Waste Crisis

The increase of tumors

We are the land of the sun

Not the Land of Fires

Luckily this morning the story has changed

I see people that are smiling carefree

There exists no evil

You feel good on the street

The world has stopped

In this beautiful (splendid) day

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'm missing nothing (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

I kiss my mom

She’s already done with house works

She’s a princess in misery

She gave birth to this kid (scugnizz = neapolitan street kid)

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

Forget having to leave for jobs

New firms will prosper in our land

Forget banks, we will lend them money

No masters, we will steal their throne

There’s no lines in the offices (how 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 who don't have brains

Cut this line that splits the North from South

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

It’s also a new day for them too

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

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'm missing nothing (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

It's a good day..

It's a good day..

It's a good day..

It's a good day...

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'm missing nothing (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

This place must not die

My people must not leave

My accent must be heard

To my uncle who gets up every morning

To Gennaro who just had a baby

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

To all the people of this Rione (neapolitan district)
