I understand that they are interest for the loans from loansharking but...what's the difference between the two?

They are different terms. "Shy" is short for "Shylock," the guy who lends the money (comes from a character in Shakespeare). "Vig" is short for "vigorish," the interest on the loan.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
