I decided to emphasize these two songs with subtitles in English that I have posted, to understand how the root of all the troubles of the south there is the the Southern question, and how a rich state we talking about 446 million liras gold, about 2,006,288,020 over 2 billion euros, as usual excuse you if I made mistakes in translation.

Good vids, furio.

No problem.

thanks carmela and pizzaboy

furio, Thank you for sharing these. Very interesting .

I wanted to post this song, beautiful but difficult to translate into English for a variety of reasons:
are cited, singers like Pino Daniele in which those words remained in Neapolitan (siamo Lazzari felici, quand Chiove to pecondria) are the songs of his famous album Terra Mia,Actors like totò,the defillippos,and historical men like Virgilio,GiovanBattista della Porta etc;
the romantic matilde,is Matilde Serao afamous italian writer,The Mattino is a newspaper founded by Scorfioglio and the Serao;the Sophia from Pozzuoli is Sophia Loren,thegold of naples is a book of Marrotta;L'arte di arrangiarsi is a way of living of gimmicks and precarious jobs; o'pac is a way to fool people, mostly foreign tourists, a classic example is to exchange a stereo, putting a brick in the package, in place of the stereo,Rosa Russo Iervolino was the mayor when was written this song;If I forgot something, or do not understand the subtitles let me know

Again, my friend ! And I do not say that lightly !
Outstanding I have enjoyed it ! And you did a great job in presenting it ! I am very impressed and so should others be !

Frosty !

This song sang by Lucariello, and written with Roberto Saviano, imagines the day of a young, from Casal di Principe which the leaders said to kill Saviano, and describes the scene.
small curiosity: in the video has been sampled the voice of Francesco Schiavone called Sandokan, where he says that'' Roberto Saviano nu buffoon'';
in some areas of Naples, you do not use the helmet on the bike because there are people who died mistaken, because it had the full face helmet for a killer of the the clans.

Excellent vid, furio. Boy, I have the hardest time with that dialect.

True about the helmets, too. The same is in Sicily, I know a lot of people don't wear helmets for the reason of being mistaken for an enemy and killed.

a chant, in Sicilian dialect,in the final part of this song, says this:

Tri tri tri setti fimmini e un tarì
u' tarì ch'è pocu pocu
setti fimmini e u'baccocu
u' baccocu è duci duci
setti fimmini e la nuci
e la nuci è dura dura
setti fimmini e la mula
e la mula avi li denti
setti fimmini e u' serpenti
e u' serpenti è avvilinatu
setti fimmini e u' granato
e u' granato è a coccia
a coccia setti fimmini e la boccia
e la boccia è sciddicusa
setti fimmini e la busa
e la busa è fina fina
setti fimmini e l'antrina
e l'antrina ecca acqua
setti fimmini e la vacca
e la vacca avi li corna
setti fimmini e la donna
e la donna scinni i' scali
setti fimmini e u' rrinali
e u' rrinali è tunnu tunnu
setti fimmini e lu munnu
e lu munnu è tri tri tri
setti fimmini e un tarì

that translated, it sounds so

Three three three
seven women for a tari (ancient Sicilian money)
but a tari is too few
seven women with an apricot
The apricot is too harsh
seven women for a mule
the mule kicks
seven women with a sickle
and the scythe is sharp
seven women for a snake
the snake bites
seven women for a cannolo
The cannolo is of cane sugar
seven women with a piece of cloth
the fabric is linen
seven women for a priest
the priest says Mass
makes a sign to the abbess
The abbess is in the garden
to collect a fennel
and came to go of body
has made a shit like the sea.

the videoclip with parts of the movie ''One houndered Steps'' tells the story of Peppino Impastato, a young man of cinisi that in the 60s and 70s are began against the Mafia, and especially against the town boss Tano Badalamenti, who was condemned in the Pizza Connection trial, he was killed the same day of discovery in via CAETANI, of the body of Aldo Moro, to make sure that did not report his death, and indeed he was accused of planning an attack to be dead, just because he was a communist activist.
