Little Italy

Baby Joe arrived in America, like an illegal immigrant, through ship
like all the immigrant, the Irish, the Italian, in 1920 on Ellis Island,
accompanied by a Sicilian great-uncle and protected by his,
Heir of a well-known Mafioso, Joe, your fate was set by a black hand,
 
Hey Joe, you'll be the baron, you'll be the godfather, of the entire district of the Italians
But Joe, in little Italy, there you'll spend your whole life and there you’ll die too.
 
With eight years you committed your first thefts, in all roads, from all shop owners
With twelve years, you already knew that you were a big boy, your gang had joined the ‘familia’,
With fourteen years, you administered all bet-books, made it hard for the bad payers,
With eighteen years you became the right hand of old Don Fernando de la Muerte,
In the year after, when his poor heart gave up, you became master of his duchy
 
Joe, it's you the baron, it's you the godfather, of the entire district of the Italians
But Joe, in little Italy, there you'll spend your whole life and there you’ll die too.
 
But Joe, be careful, one speaks already behind your back, your captains, are like hyenas, and your soldiers are like children of bastards,
Hey Joe, be careful, one day one will perforate your skin, with what, that’s the real question, by shiv or by a cannon
Don't you hear them behind your back? Those, who approach?
Hey Joe, be careful, because your end is very near.
 
Early in the morning, „little Italy” wakes up, bloodied, orphan without its godfather
No one knows how exactly all this ended, how one let you grow silent, how one let you down
But I can imagine that when you had to leave, feet at first, you didn't let go of anything, you must have clenched your teeth
And on all walls of the district, these words became your grave inscription, written in chalk
 
Joe, you were the baron, you were the godfather, of the entire district of the Italians,
but Joe, in little Italy, there you spent your whole life, and there you also died
 
There you also died, Joe
There you also died!
