Original lyrics
Mare maje, scura maje (Amara me / Lamento di una vedova)
Mare maje, scura maje,
tu si mmorte e je che facce,
mo me sciatte 'e trécce 'nfacce,
mo m'acceide 'ngoll 'a taje.
Mare ma', mare ma', mare maje,
scura ma', scura ma', scura maje,
mo m'acceide, mo m'acceide,
mo m'acceide 'ngoll'a taje.
So' na pechera spirgiute,
lu mundune m'ha lassate,
lu guaggiune sempr'abbaje.
pe la fame mo s'arraje.
Mare ma', mare ma', mare maje,
scura ma', scura ma', scura maje,
mo m'acceide, mo m'acceide,
mo m'acceide 'ngoll'a taje.
Je a tiné na casarielle,
mo' songhe senza recette,
senza foche e senza lette,
senza pane e companaje
Mare ma', mare ma', mare maje,
scura ma', scura ma', scura maje,
mo m'acceide, mo m'acceide,
mo m'acceide 'ngoll'a taje.
Translation
Poor me (Lament of a widow)
Poor me, woe is me,
you're dead and what will I do,
now I'll undo my braids over my face,
Now I'll kill myself on top of you.
[Chorus:]
Poor me, poor me, poor me,
woe is me, woe is me, woe is me,
now I'll kill myself x3
on top of you.
I'm a lost ewe,
the ram has left me,
the lil'lamp's always bellowing,
now it's getting angry from hunger.
(chorus)
I had a little shack,
now I'm without shelter,
without a fire and without a bed
without bread or something to eat.
(chorus)
