Translation of the song lyrics Nisida - Edoardo Bennato

Nisida (original)

No no no no, quando arriva l’estate
no no no no, non lasciatevi suggestionare
dai cataloghi che vi parlano di isole incantate
e di sirene-e in offerta speciale
No no no no, non cercate lontano
quello che avete qui a portata di mano
a questo punto vi starete certamente chiedendo
chiss stavolta questo dove vuole andare a parare…
Venite tutti a Nisida, ya ya ya ya ya Nisida
ya ya ya ya ya Nisida un’isola e nessuno lo sa…
No no no no, niente voli speciali
e neanche traversate intercontinentali
per arrivarci basta solo la Cumana
Nisida cos vicina cos lontana
Coi suoi giardini e il porto naturale
con l’Italsider alle spalle che la sta a guardare
Nisida sembra un’isola inventata
ma mio padre mi assicura che c' sempre stata…
Venite tutti a Nisida, ya ya ya ya ya Nisida
ya ya ya ya ya Nisida un’isola e nessuno lo sa…
Non un problema ecologico per carit
Nisida un classico esempio di stupidit…
Venite tutti a Nisida, ya ya ya ya ya Nisida
ya ya ya ya ya Nisida un’isola e nessuno lo sa…
(Grazie a Roberta per questo testo)

Nisida (translation)

No no no no, when summer arrives
no no no no, don't let yourself be influenced
from the catalogs that tell you about enchanted islands
and sirens-and on special offer
No no no no, don't look far
what you have here at your fingertips
at this point you are certainly wondering
who knows where this is going to lead this time ...
Everyone come to Nisida, ya ya ya ya ya Nisida
ya ya ya ya ya Nisida an island and nobody knows ...
No no no no, no special flights
and not even intercontinental crossings
to get there, just the Cumana is enough
Nisida so close so far
With its gardens and natural harbor
with the Italsider behind him watching her
Nisida looks like an invented island
but my father assures me that there has always been ...
Everyone come to Nisida, ya ya ya ya ya Nisida
ya ya ya ya ya Nisida an island and nobody knows ...
Not an ecological problem for charity
Nisida is a classic example of stupidity ...
Everyone come to Nisida, ya ya ya ya ya Nisida
ya ya ya ya ya Nisida an island and nobody knows ...
