Nun Te Scurdà

Don't Forget

Nun Te Scurdà

'E ssentevo when I was a little girl, they called it love'E ssentevo quanno ero figliola, 'o cchiammavano ammore
that fire that's born inside you and never dieschellu fuoco ca te nasce mpietto e ca maje se ne more
the friends talked quietly about something scandalous'e ccumpagne parlavano zitto 'e na cosa scurnosa
that a woman only does the moment she gets marriedca na femmena 'a fa sulamente 'o mumento ca sposa

and even though I never got marriede pure si sposa nun songo stata maje
I know how the blood and the heart beat really hardsaccio comme volle 'o sanghe e 'o core sbatte forte assaje
when the voice of passion calls to youquanno 'a voce d'a passione chiamma a te
when quietly in a corner you hear whispersquanno zitto int' 'a na recchia tu te siente 'e murmuliÀ

don't forget, don't forgetnun te scurda' nun te scurda'
don't forget because this life goes bynun te scurda' pecchÈ sta vita se ne va
don't forget, never younun te scurda', maje 'e te

don't forget, don't forgetnun te scurda' nun te scurda'
don't forget because if not, what are we here fornun t' 'o scurda' pecchÈ si no che campe a fa'
don't forget you, nevernun te scurda' 'e te maje
and so much of the love that fate put in my handse tanto 'e llammore ca 'a sciorta m'a miso int' 'e mmane
that I come and people call me a whore for thisca 'o vvengo e 'a ggente pe' chesto me chiamma puttana
I never knew I was imprisoned in this housenun'aggio maje saputo sta' carcerata int' 'a casa

to those who scorn me I say you want to seea chi me schifa dico vuo' vede'
that your body comes to you like mineca 'o cuorpo tu t' 'o vinne comme a me
you can't stand me and I already know thatnun me suppuorte e chest' 'o ssaccio giÀ
I'm the mirror where you'd never want to looki' songo 'o specchio addÙ nun te vulisse maje guarda'

don't forget, don't forgetnun te scurda' nun te scurda'
don't forget because this life goes bynun te scurda' pecchÈ sta vita se ne va
don't forget, never younunte scurda', maje 'e te

don't forget, don't forgetnun te scurda' nun te scurda'
don't forget because if not, what are we here fornun t' 'o scurda' pecchÈ si no che campe a fa'
don't forget you, nevernun te scurda' 'e te, maje.

mom, whore or ugly copy of a manmamma, puttana o brutta copia 'e n'ommo
this is a woman in this part of the worldchest'È na femmena int' 'a chesta parte 'e munno
that when she's born in this place she's destinedca quanno nasce a cchesto È destinata
and if she commands the people's hearts she's condemnede si 'a cummanna 'o core d' 'a ggente È cundannata.
