SI STAT’ TU LYRICS – GEOLIER

[Pre-Ritornello]
Sî stata tu a tené
Tutte cose dinto e mo nn’ce stanno cchiù segrete
Sulo cu’tté m’aggio reso debbole
E chi chiagne cu na femmena
O s”a sposa o passe tutt”a vita truvanno ‘o modo d”a scurdà

[Ritornello]
C’ammo ditto mille vote “È fernuta”, embè?
I’ t’aspetto tanto, vide, tengo tutt”o tiempo ‘a te dà
Pecché stanno ‘nzieme nu minuto dura nu sicondo e quinde
Na vita è metà d”a vita ca ce danno e ‘a voglio passà ‘nziem’a te

[Strofa 1]
Te ne vuò partì
Hê raggione, sto passanno tiempo ch”e my G
I’ nun m’arricordo niente ‘e chell’ata vita
Sulo ca faceve friddo ‘a fore e ‘a ‘into
Accomodate, è costoso ‘o Rolls-Royce
A te nn’te fa specie niente cchiù
È lecito tutte cose si a decidere sî tu, no?
‘Int’â Kelly miette niente cchiù
‘Int’â stanza nn’veco niente cchiù
Nu poco d’odio ce fa bene
Ca po addiventa bene, po ridiventa odio
No, nun spero, si vulesse na cosa, mo m’accatto
Comme faje tu ch”e borse, i’ faccio ch”e carate
Na vota in meno ca me vase
È na vota ‘e cchiù ca me l’hê ‘a dà
Nuje simmo ‘e cchiù, simmo abbastanza
E meno male ca

[Pre-Ritornello]
Sî stata tu a tené
Tutte cose dinto e mo nn’ce stanno cchiù segrete
Sulo cu’tté m’aggio reso debbole
E chi chiagne cu na femmena

O s”a sposa o passe tutt”a vita truvanno ‘o modo d”a scurdà

[Ritornello]
C’ammo ditto mille vote “È fernuta”, embè?
I’ t’aspetto tanto, vide, tengo tutt”o tiempo ‘a te dà
Pecché stanno ‘nzieme nu minuto dura nu sicondo e quinde
Na vita è metà d”a vita ca ce danno e ‘a voglio passà ‘nziem’a te

[Strofa 2]
Nun serve c”o spieghe, saccio che dice
Pe te basta ca alla fine d”a frase sta nu sì
Nun saccio che tengo comme ricchezza
C”o chiedo a fratemo ogge o dimane so’ già aumentate, nun scherzo
Songo ‘o cchiù ricco d”a famiglia mia
Pecché sta fratemo ca parla tutt”e sere cu Dio
‘Ncopp’ê nuvole aggio pruvato a ce fa pace
E m’ha risposto ‘o capitano dicenno ‘o prezzo d”o privato
Nn’te guardo quanno m’allucche ‘nfaccia
Pecché cagne faccia e i’ cagno faccia
Parimmo comme ‘e quanno ce lasciaimo
‘A differenza è ca mo stammo ‘int’ô lietto parlanno
L’ascensore ‘int’ô salone ê vote m’imbarazza
Ê vote ‘a luasse, ê vote cagnasse tutte cose
Tranne a te comme al solito

[Pre-Ritornello]
Sî stata tu a tené
Tutte cose dinto e mo nn’ce stanno cchiù segrete
Sulo cu’tté m’aggio reso debbole
E chi chiagne cu na femmena
O s”a sposa o passe tutt”a vita truvanno ‘o modo d”a scurdà

[Ritornello]
C’ammo ditto mille vote “È fernuta”, embè?
I’ t’aspetto tanto, vide, tengo tutt”o tiempo ‘a te dà
Pecché stanno ‘nzieme nu minuto dura nu sicondo e quinde
