Lyrics

Sotto un cielo neronero
sopra un Ford del '26,
arrivammo che era l’alba,
poco prima delle sei.
Giunti a porta capuana,
a due passi dalla stazione
vedemmo San Gennaro,
che faceva una trasfusione.
A forza di miracoli
s’era sentito male
nel giorno del Giudizio
del Giudizio Universale.
Nel presepio di fuori grotta,
piangevano i re Magi
cricche crocche e Manecancine
li avevano scippati.
A Bagnoli un corteo
di cassaintegrati,
con in testa Masaniello,
marciava a pugni alzati.
Totòo pazzariello disse
«Sono solidale
èarrivato finalmente
il Giudizio Universale»
Era uscito il 47
e il cadavere di un giornalista
a Torre Annunziata
fece il nome di un socialista.
Ci disse «Voi che siete
sulla buona pista
chiedete ai miei colleghi
perchémuore un giornalista».
Mezzogiorno era di fuoco
arrivava il temporale
mancavano poche ore
al Giudizio Universale.
Ciro Cocaina
s’era fatto l’ultimo pizzo
alla pizzeria Vesuvio
era ormai fuori servizio
Il garzone di contrabbando
cantò"Fronn' e Limone"
piangemmo tutti in coro
fino alla fine della canzone.
Re Mida e la sua corte
a Poggioreale
tremavano al pensiero
del Giudizio Universale
Facemmo appena in tempo
erano le ventuno
fuori dal San Carlo
non c’era piùnessuno
presentavano la prima
De Filippo e De Simone.
Il Giudizio Universale
c’era scritto in cartellone.
Fuori lampi e tuoni
iniziava il temporale
l’orchestra aveva smesso
da poco di accordare.
Scoppiarono tutti i botti
il chiasso era infernale
si aprìlento il sipario
sul Giudizio Universale.

Lyrics translation

Under a black sky
over a '26 Ford,
we arrived that it was Dawn,
just before six.
Joints in porta capuana,
a stone's throw from the station
we saw San Gennaro,
he was having a transfusion.
By virtue of miracles
he felt bad
on the day of judgment
of The Last Judgment.
In the Nativity scene outside the cave,
the Magi wept
crickets and Manecancins
they were robbed.
In Bagnoli a procession
of casein integrated,
with Masaniello in the lead,
he was marching with his fists up.
Totòo pazzariello said
"I am supportive
he's finally arrived.
The Last Judgment»
He was out on the 47th.
and the corpse of a journalist
a Torre Annunziata
he named himself a socialist.
He said ," you who are
on the good track
ask my colleagues
because it hurts a journalist."
Noon was of fire
the storm was coming
there were only a few hours left.
At Last Judgment.
Ciro Cocaine
he had made his last lace
at pizzeria Vesuvio
he was out of Service.
The bootlegger
he sang "Fronn' and lemon"
we all cried in chorus
until the end of the song.
King Mida and his court
in Poggioreale
they trembled at the thought
of The Last Judgment
We did just in time
it was twenty-one
outside the San Carlo
there was no one else
they presented the first
Filippo and Simone.
The Last Judgment
it was on the Billboard.
Out of lightning and thunder
the storm began
the orchestra had stopped
recently agreed.
All the barrels burst
the noise was infernal
the curtain opened
on The Last Judgment.
