Me chiamano pe’ paesi
To brag! I am highly sought after. In all the small towns of the district I am in great demand for my renowned skills.
Notwithstanding the fact that it could also be an inconvenient boast if the towns were few and very small.
My fame would turn out to be a miserable thing. So watch out it could be a classic boomerang bragging…
Ciaone
A big hello. It is not a goodbye. Means a movement away. Inability. It judges peremptorily a situation or behavior far from the possibility of being realized. Ciaone is also a bit prophetic. It tells us that something will never happen, or at least it will be very complicated. So… better to greet first, without skimping on the size of the greeting, because the object of this big greating is probably not close neither in time, nor in space. The ingredients are 60% irony. 10% contemptuous tone. 20% negative rating. The last 10% we leave to improvisation…
Ma che davero davero?!
Espressione articolata atta a significare gran stupore, incredulità, anche usata in termini di avvertimento, quando qualcuno sta superando un certo limite. Da notare l’uso raddoppiato rafforzativo del “davero”, indice di doppia incredulità e quindi doppia perdita di pazienza…
L’erba voglio non cresce nemmeno nel giardino del re.
I want want I want. We are taught from childhood that it is polite to ask for things please, and not claim, even if we feel we are in privileged positions…

Nel paese dei ciechi anche un guercio è re.
Who has no particular qualities seems to excel when around him there are people with qualities worse than his.
Beethoven said it once. If I remember…
(hey uk friends i didn’t want to offend you, it’s just an example!!! 🙂
Tra il dire e il fare c’è di mezzo il mare
Yesss… we are all capable of talking. But it is when we need to transform words into facts that the difficult comes.
An invitation to understand the difficulty of creating something that is said and at the same time a way to emphasize the space between an idea and its success.
Small variant: Between saying and doing there is “and”.
Saggezza gallinara…
Singing hen made the egg.
Hen that doesn’t pick has already picked.
Old chicken makes good soup.
Probably is the same in inglisc… don’t care… 🙂
The hens used to play an important role in everyday life, you could even rely on these remarkable pearls of wisdom… But let’s go into detail… Singing hen made the egg: We are in a company of friends, one of us emits a silent fart (wow what elegance!). This proverb tells us that usually the first one who says “Oh my god that stinks, who made a fart?” he is the one who did it…
Hen that doesn’t pick has already picked: If someone is not interested in something, it is perhaps because that something has already achieved. Useful to understand the psychology of people… Old chicken makes good soup: Here the value of experience is enhanced, and not just for food purposes…
Chi semina vento raccoglie tempesta
The consequences!!! The consequences!!! We must pay attention to how we behave.
Negative behaviors and wrong choices in our lives lead to consequences, which will turn against us sometimes with even greater intensity than our “windy” actions.
