It’s not just a good song. But it’s one of those that gets into your bonesFor the harshness of words but which they transmit deep sweetness. And for the haunting rhythms which do not give anxiety, but wait. Hope of a better future.

Sea outO Mar for is the anthem of the street urchins

The song describes the tiredness and the weight of young people souls imprisoned in their difficultiescaused by a single fault: be children of crime or hardship. In that context there is no room for choices. Impossible, and even unthinkable, to get out of it. A son of the Camorra will be a Camorra, and he will take it with him, willy-nillyall the load of violence, ruthlessness that affiliation with a clan entails.

‘O Mar for shows all of this. But the greatness is that it does not convey resignation. On the contrary, he knows about rebirth. It’s a song that speaks of redemption, desire for tranquility. When everything goes wrong, everything is a crushing boulder, «guaglio’, na worry’ you, there’s o’ mar’ for». Behind bars and under the sky, there is the sea outside.

And the «sea out» is kind of mantra phrase which recurs frequently in the series. The only sweetly poetic foothold to hold on to in order to carry on, despite everything, with a smile.

The text of ‘O Mar for

Light up a cigarette
Allà there is mammà ca chiagne and don’t listen!
Cu this effort mo’ c’attamm pur’ ‘a reggia ‘e Caserta.
(Light another cigarette: Mom is crying there, leave it alone! With this effort that we “make” we’ll even take the Royal Palace of Caserta).

So’ crisciut’ mmiez’ ‘a via, ‘o sacc’ chell’ who awaits me.
Nu guaglion’ do sistema, mo’ vuo’ sistema’ ‘utt’ cos’
Mmiezz’ ‘a via e’ megl’ ‘a tene’ fierr’ or accattar’ ‘e ros’.
Patm’ sta carcerat’, so ll’omm’ ‘e cas’.
(I grew up in the middle of the street, and I know what awaits me. A boy born of the system, who wants to fix everything; who lives in the middle of the street and has a gun in his hand, better the gun or sell the roses. My father he’s in jail and I’m the man of the house).

Lievice ‘e man’ ‘a cuoll’ ca chill’ m’e’ frat
E me fa mal’o cor’, o saje pur tu … pur tu
I don’t go to school, no, but I don’t go anywhere
M’acchiapp ‘na cariol’ cu’ ‘nu chil’ ‘e fum’
Mar’ mo’ sta for’, nun mo pozz’ vere’ cchiù
(Raise your hands, that’s like my brother, and my heart hurts, you know it too. I don’t go to school, now I don’t go anymore. I’ll take a wheelbarrow full of a kilo of smoke. The sea now stands outside, I can’t see it anymore).

There is o’ mar’ for’… there is o’ mar’ for’

Don’t worry ‘guaglio’, there is o’ mar’ for’
There is o’ mar’ for’, there is o’ mar’ for’
Arret’ ‘e barr’ sotto’ o’ ciel’ ce sta o’ mar’ for’
There is o’ mar’ for’… there is o’ mar’ for’
(Don’t worry boy, the sea is out; the sea is out; the sea is out. From behind the bars and under the sky the sea is outside, the sea is outside; there is the sea outside).

They say c’av’ mill’ culure Agg’ vist’ sul’ o’ griume
Int’ o’ cortil’ e’ guaglion’ Se fann’ n’ata strisc’
Tutt’ ‘e juorne egual, vogl’ ascì … vogl’ ascì
O mor’ a cca’ ddint’ o mor’ excise
‘a capa me fa’ mal’, n’arriv’ a’ capi
(They say it has a thousand colours; I have only seen greyness. Inside the courtyard the boys make another streak. Every day the same, I want to go out, I want to go out. Either I die in here, or I die killed. My head makes me feel bad and I can’t understand).

Yes I know ‘nat’ cca’, what is it’ my fault?
Manno miso o’ fierr’ ‘n man’ … And mann’ ditto “spar’!
Napule ‘a cca’ ddint’ par’ assaje luntana
Tutt’ ‘e juorne I think “c’agg’ fatt’ ‘e mal’?
Tutt’ ‘e juorne pens’ ‘o mar’ (pens’o’ mar’)
(If I was born here, what is my fault? They put the gun in my hand and told me shoot! Naples from here, seems to be far away. All day I think “what did I do wrong?”. Every day days I think of the sea).

Don’t worry ‘guaglio’, there is o’ mar’ for’
There is o’ mar’ for’…there is o’ mar’ for’
Arret’ ‘e barr’, sotto’ o’ ciel’ ce sta o’ mar’ for’
There is o’ mar’ for’… there is o’ mar’ for’
