Of Fortunato Cerlino
Magna ‘a mamm, magna, don’t think about it’. Let go of bad thoughts, tomorrow God will provide. Tie’, tycoons, this is a nice puff pastry. You like? And I knew you liked it. And eat some n’ata too. Lassa is who you hurt. Face them! Tie’, go ahead and eat this pastiera fella and cheer up. Do those have it with you? And you make them pop. Do you want these two struffoli from yesterday? Have you seen? Today they are better! You don’t have to pay attention to the problems, to the wickedness of the people. ‘O munno sulo nu ‘mbruoglio, tu magna e futtatenne.
Look what’s in here? ‘Na bella parmigiana ‘e mulignane! Want it? Bravo to mamm, eat, eat. Don’t worry if it ends, I’ll make you another one. You see my son, ‘a life full of tears and sorrows. a continuous fight! Are you going to eat this cassatina for mamm? Good boy! Accuss I like you. You have to be cheerful and carefree, you have to think about loving yourself, that if you don’t think about it, who will?
Look here what a beautiful tiella of broccoli I made for you! I understood them myself, all cimmetelle. You like? Good good. The job will come, but it’s useless for you to bang your horns on it, it doesn’t depend on you, this company is wrong. I have just a little left over pasta and fasule with mussels, what do you say, shall I warm it up? That? No, that ‘na caccavella di pasta ‘e patane cu ‘a provola, for two days… and that’s fine, I’ll warm you up too. See well! Even to that vrnzola, but what do you care if she left you? Listen to me, that was a blessing! Such a thing is better to lose than to find.
Do a thing, eat this capa ‘e sausage that’s left to me and it’s a sin. Do you know what he told me a week ago? Ma’am, help me tell your son that he has to go on a diet soon, that he’s not even wearing his pants anymore. Did you understand? That wanted your harm! Believe me, it was your luck that left you. Don’t think about mamm, don’t think about it. Do you know what I do? Today I’ll get you the ingredients and for tonight I’ll bake you a nice casatiello, okay? Accuss I like you, when you smile. Well, same with the dough, I’ll make you a nice chiena pizza and two saltimbocca, okay? Of course, cu ‘e puparuoli fritti, of course. You must be happy with your life! Think of all those poor people who are under bombs! Poor Christians! pure ‘na jastemma to God if one doesn’t see well of his fortunes. Do you dip a little bread in this ragout? And go to mamm, go. Now that I remember, in that pot there is also a remnant of Genoese, even azzuppa ll. That Jesus takes anger if one is sad. He wants you to be healthy, happy and satisfied. As he says in the sacred scriptures? Don’t worry about what you will eat tomorrow, God will take care of it! Ti, throw away this roccoc and these pastas and almonds, and since we’re at it, let’s go down this fella and catt, this omelette and maccarune and these taralli nzogna and pepper. Then to digest you make yourself a nice lemon delight for mamm. If there’s one thing I’ve understood about life, it’s that as long as one breathes one has to take care of it.
Where you turn around, there are only problems and deceptions. It’s a vote, it’s the bills to pay, it doesn’t come with difficulty, it doesn’t come, it’s still a disease or a loss! One has to react to all these nasty things cu ‘a panza chiena. By the way, what do you say if I’ll also let you find a nice peppered mussels for tonight? Or do you prefer soup and mussels? Or doje clams a sat? You know what, I’ll prepare all these things for you and then you decide, okay? I’ll ask for nu purpo e ‘na vrancata di alici, accuss one I’ll do it Luciana style and the others are gilded and fried, and if they still have ‘o capitone, I’ll prepare that too, is it okay, mum? I won’t make you sautéed because that’s a little heavy and you’ll be left with ‘ncoppa ‘or stomach and then you won’t sleep. If anything, I’ll make it for you tomorrow along with a few zeppola and three or four panzarotti, and since I keep the oil in the middle I’ll even make a few pieces ‘e baccal e na fritturina ‘e calamari. Vabbu, hurry up and go find yourself a job that I have to do. Please, don’t make your blood bitter if you don’t have luck, it’s not your fault. Ti, put these fellas of sart di riso and stu babb in your bag, if you get hungry on the road at least have something to strip… go to mamm, go… and God bless you!
