Mansai a n’amico mio che j’hanno fatto
de lunedì mattina è annato a passà ’r badge
nun glie funzionava ha chiamato l’addetto
lui gli ha risposto nun è smagnetizzato
è che t’hanno licenziato
Nun poi capì a mi cuggino che gl’hanno fatto
circolavano voci di riduzione personale
la società ha chiamato tutti in una mega riunione
e a uno a uno quelli da buttà' fori
l’hanno chiamati pe’ nome
Anvedi che tempi ammazza che tempi
N’amica de mi cognata de venerdì sera
chiude er negozio prima d’annassene
er padrone glie dà una raccomandata
lei a casa la apre e sopra c’è scritto
grazie de tutto
non abbiamo più bisogno
Anvedi che tempi ammazza che tempi
A n’amico mio mentre lavorava
er personale gl’ha telefonato
voi annà via co’ n’anno de stipendio
e l’anno dopo lui gli ha risposto
io che me magno
Una che lavorava co’la mi regazza
finiti i mesi de prova era tutta contenta
ma nun gli hanno rinnovato er contratto
gli hanno detto in quei mesi nun sei stata all’altezza
però pe du' anni
senza contratto
era stata all’altezza
pure li straordinari
Anvedi che gente ammazza che gente
Davero de sti tempi tocca esse pure contenti
c’hanno aumentato l’ore semo sempre de meno
però armeno er ventisette i sordi li pijamo
Ancora pe’ quanto
guarda quelli all’Alitalia

HARD TIMES
Let me tell you what happened to one of my friends
a monday morning as he was punching in his timecard
it didn't work so he called the person in charge
he checked it and then said "it’s not demagnetized"
the truth is that you have been fired
You won’t believe what happened to one of my cousins
there were rumours about a lay off at work
his company called all the employees in a meeting
and then one at a time they singled out the ones who had to be fired
Hard times my friend, these are hard times
A friend of my sister in law was closing shop on a friday night
when the owner gave her a letter
once at home she opened it and on it there was written
"thanks for everything
your help is not needed anymore"
Hard times my friend, these are hard times
While he was at work one of my friends
was called by a guy from human resoruces
"if you leave the job we’ll give you an entire year worth of salary"
"and the years to come - he replied - what am i going to eat?
A woman who was working with my girlfriend
was very happy to have just finished her trial period
but the company didn't renew her contract
she was told "you are not up to the task"
but for the previous years, when she worked without a regular contract
she was definitely up to it
even during overtime.
Some people they are, my friend, some people
At times like these you have to be happy because , even though
they increase our working hours and there are always less workers
at least we still get the salary at the end of the month
How long? How long?
How long? How long?
Look what happened to the people who work for Alitalia

Chanson italienne – Che Tempi ! – Ned Ludd – 2007
Juste une petite note à propos de « Les temps sont difficiles »: c'est bien une allusion (et plus que çà) à la chanson de Léo Ferré... qui finira bien par figurer parmi les CCG.

SALES TEMPS !
Écoute ce qu'ils ont fait à un ami
Lundi matin, il est allé pointer sa carte
Elle ne passait pas, il a appelé l'employé
Il lui a répondu : “Elle n'est pas démagnétisée”
Il y a qu'ils t'ont licencié.
Tu ne sais pas ce qu'ils lui ont fait à mon cousin
Des bruits circulaient de réduction de personnel
La société a convoqué tout le monde à une méga-réunion
Et ils ont appelé un à un par leur nom
Ceux qu'ils foutaient dehors.
Sales temps ! Les temps sont difficiles !
Vendredi soir, une maie de ma belle-sœur
Ferme le magasin avant de s'en retourner
Son patron lui donne une recommandée
Elle l'ouvre chez elle et elle lit
Merci pour tout
Nous n'avons plus besoin de vous.
Sales temps ! Les temps sont difficiles !
Un de mes amis était au travail
Le service du personnel l'appelé
Vous devez partir avec un an de salaire plein
Et l'année prochaine, a-t-il répondu
Qu'est-ce que je mange ?
Une fille qui travaillait avec ma copine
À la fin de son stage était très contente
Mais ils ne lui ont pas renouvelé son contrat
Ils disaient que durant ces mois, tu n'a pas été à la hauteur
Mais pendant les deux ans
Sans contrat
Elle avait été à la hauteur
Même pour les heures sups.
Sales temps ! Les temps sont difficiles !
Mais quand même de ces temps-ci, faut pas faire le difficile
Ils ont augmenté les heures, même qu'il y en a toujours moins
Au moins chaque mois, il y a le salaire qui tombe
Pour combien de temps encore ?
Vois ce qui est arrivé à ceux d'Alitalia...
