Jammo Ja [English translation]

Let's go, come on, let's earn our bread

we have sweat in our hands

And we can change

Let's go, come on, and let's move quickly

In this smoggy and stressful Italy

We are the smart who have to become stupid

We were born with two fates

We are the night and we are the dawn

We are roses and we are thorns

But we are branches of the same garden

Southerners

We are land full of sea

That nobody can understand

Whether we are fine or we are sick

We keep going on like this

Job is a gift

It's the hope to leave

Let's go, come on,and let's hold our hands together

If we are together we can go far

Cannot wait any longer

Let's go, come on, 'cause this life hurries

We are the home of kisses and caresses

But only rubbish makes the headlines

With this mafia with the mandolin

That they put on us since always

We are the face of a postcard

That belittles us all around the world

Southerners

We are the voice in the sea

that nobody wants to listen to

We are burned grass

That is never clear who was burned by

We are the mirror of a highway

That they will never complete building

Where the wind embraces the sea

Too many are the thoughts

And who grows up eating bitter bread

Is a foreign Italian

If justice washes its hands clean

Flags are white

And the one who can never think of the future

Was born a prisoner

We were born with two fates

We are the night and we are the dawn

We are roses and we are thorns

But we are branches of the same garden

Southerners

We are land full of sea

That nobody can understand

Whether we are fine or we are sick

We keep going on like this

Job is a gift

It's the hope to leave

The boys in Naples alleys

will never be Kings

In the Zen in Palermo they drink the time

because of the thirst for knowledge

And it is never easy sleeping with the whys

Living with patience is the biggest balance

For someone who may fall down.
