Forza Zena !!!

            Parole di M. Cappello 

Ma se ghe penso  

O l'ëa partio sensa ûn-a palanca,
l'ëa zâ trent'anni, forse anche ciû.
O l'aveiva lottou pe mette i dinæ a-a banca
e poèisene ûn giorno vegnî in zû
e fäse a palassinn-a e o giardinetto,
co-o rampicante, co-a cantinn-a e o vin,
a branda attaccâ a-i ærboi, a ûso letto,
pe daghe 'na schenâ séia e mattin.
Ma o figgio o ghe dixeiva: "No ghe pensâ
a Zena, cöse ti ghe vêu tornâ?!"

Ma se ghe penso alloa mi veddo o mâ,
veddo i mæ monti e a ciassa da Nonsiâ,
riveddo o Righi e me s'astrenze o chêu,
veddo a lanterna, a cava, lazzû o mêu...
Riveddo a séia Zena illûminâ,
veddo là a Foxe e sento franze o mâ
e alloa mi penso ancon de ritornâ
a pösâ e osse dov'ò mæ madonnâ.

E l'ëa passou do tempo, forse troppo,
o figgio o l'inscisteiva: "Stemmo ben,
dove ti vêu andâ, papà?.. pensiemo doppo,
o viägio, o mâ, t'é vëgio, no conven!" -
"Oh no, oh no! me sento ancon in gamba,
son stûffo e no ne posso pròprio ciû,
son stanco de sentî señor caramba,
mi vêuggio ritornamene ancon in zû...
Ti t'é nasciûo e t'æ parlou spagnollo,
mi son nasciûo zeneize e... no me mollo!"

Ma se ghe penso alloa mi veddo o mâ,
veddo i mæ monti e a ciassa da Nonsiâ,
riveddo o Righi e me s'astrenze o chêu,
veddo a lanterna, a cava, lazzû o mêu...
Riveddo a séia Zena illûminâ,
veddo là a Foxe e sento franze o mâ
e alloa mi penso ancon de ritornâ
a pösâ e osse dov'ò mæ madonnâ.

E sensa tante cöse o l'è partïo
e a Zena o gh'à formóu torna o so nïo.

Canto degli emigranti liguri 

Ma se ci penso  

Era partito senza un soldo,
erano già trent'anni, forse anche più.
Aveva lottato per mettere i denari in banca
e potersene un giorno venire in giù
e farsi la palazzina e il giardinetto,
con il rampicante, con la cantina e il vino,
la branda attaccata agli alberi a uso letto,
per darci una schienata sera e mattina.
ma il figlio gli diceva: "Non ci pensare
a Genova, cosa ci vuoi tornare?!"

Ma se ci penso allora io vedo il mare,
vedo i miei monti e piazza della Nunziata,
rivedo Righi e mi si stringe il cuore,
vedo la lanterna, la cava, laggiù il molo...
Rivedo la sera Genova illuminata,
vedo là la Foce e sento frangere il mare
e allora io penso ancora di ritornare
a posare le ossa dalla mia nonna.

Ed era passato del tempo, forse troppo,
il figlio insisteva: "Stiamo bene,
dove vuoi andare, papà?.. penseremo dopo,
il viaggio, il mare, sei vecchio, non conviene!" -
"Oh no, oh no! mi sento ancora in gamba,
sono stufo e non ne posso proprio più,
sono stanco di sentire señor carramba,
io voglio ritornarmene ancora in giù...
Tu sei nato e hai parlato spagnolo,
io sono nato genovese e... non mi mollo!"

Ma se ci penso allora io vedo il mare,
vedo i miei monti e piazza della Nunziata,
rivedo Righi e mi si stringe il cuore,
vedo la lanterna, la cava, laggiù il molo...
Rivedo la sera Genova illuminata,
vedo là la Foce e sento frangere il mare
e allora io penso ancora di ritornare
a posare le ossa dalla mia nonna.

E senza tante cose è partito
e a Genova ci ha formato di nuovo il suo nido.
