Cantu e cuntu


Stasira vaju e curru cu lu ventu
a grapiri li porti di la storia.
Stasira vogliu dari p'un mumentu
la vita a lu passatu i a la memoria.
Stasira cu la vampa di l'amuri
scavu na fossa, na fossa a lu duluri.

C'è chiù duluri, c'è chiù turmentu
ca gioia e amuri pi l'umanità
Nun è lu chiantu ca cancia lu distinu,
nun è lu scantu ca ferma lu caminu,
grapu li pugna, cuntu li jita
restu cu sugnu, scurru la vita.

Cantu e cuntu, cuntu e cantu
pi nun perdiri…lu cuntu.

Nuddu binidicì lu me caminu,
mancu la manu nica d'un parrinu
e vaju ancora comu va lu ventu
cercari paci sulu p'un mumentu.
Vogliu spaccari…spaccari li cieli
pì fari chioviri…chioviri amuri.

C'è cu t'inganna, c'è cu cumanna
e cu 'n silenziu mutu si nni sta.
È lu putiri ca nforza li putenti,
è lu silenziu ca ammazza li 'nnuccenti,
grapu li pugna, cuntu li jita
restu cu sugnu, cercu la vita.

Cantu e cuntu, cuntu e cantu
pi nun perdiri…lu cuntu.

Vinni a stu munnu quannu lu "Voscienza"
si schifiava pi li strati strati.
Tempi d'abbusi, di fami e di guerra
criscivu mmenzu di li mal annate.
Lacrimi muti ni chiancivi e quanti,
la me nnuccenza si la sparteru 'n tanti.

La mala genti, li priputenti,
tanti su tanti nni sta sucità.
Nun è l'amuri ca crisci ad ogni banna,
ma lu favuri ca sparti cu cumanna,
grapu li pugna, cuntu li jita
restu cu sugnu, scurru la vita.

Cantu e cuntu, cuntu e cantu
pi nun perdiri… lu cuntu.

La, la, la....
