Lyrics
A 'lè parej, i lo savia ch’a l'è propi parej
Noi i soma 'n pòpol 'na rassa ch’a l’ha sempre viagià
Deserti, aquasse e ostacoj impossibil superà
E varie strasordinarie ingiustissie consumà
A l'è parej, pija l’esempi dij primi ani dël secol
Quand ij nòstri viagiator a s’as ciamavo pionieri
Famije ëd mil pais dëspaisà
A fasìo tapa forsà a Ellis Island
Chicanos, macarones, cinesi a Little Italy!
Ellis Island cit isolòt e cancher 'd Nueva Yòrk
Limbo disperà dla neuva America
Tanti milion, tante speranse
Speranse d’ambrochè
L’intrada për la piramida malefica
Chicanos, macarones, cinesi a Little Italy
What’s your name, what’s your name?
Welcome to America, do you understand me?
Where do you come from, where do you wanna go?
Andoma bin, che le strà a son bin longhe
E che 'l travaj a nobilita l’argheui
S’as ciama boom boom boom boom economico
Ch’a saria l’invension
L’invension la pì perfida
A l'è parej, a son passà pì che otant’ani
E le aventure 'd cola gent
A son profonde eredità
A son deli deli deli delicatësse
Mës-cià a la naftalin-a dij nòstri armari
Chicanos, macarones, cinesi a Little Italy
What’s your name, what’s your name?
Welcome to America
Do you understand me?
Where do you come from
Where do you wanna go?
Welcome…
