Piscatore 'E Pusilleco

Fisherman of this sea of PusillecoPiscatore 'e stu mare 'e Pusilleco
who every night I hear singingch 'ogne notte mme siente 'e canta
fisherman, these words are bitterpiscato, sti pparole so' lacrene
for Maria who is far away from me!pe' Maria ca luntana mme sta!

The sea sleeps...quiet, quietDorme 'o mare...voca, voca
All peace around me...Tutt'e pace attuorno a me...
But why,Ma pecche,
why did you leave mema pecche mm'he lassato
while I die, tonight, for you?mentr'io moro, stannote, pe' te?

Cassarella of the Cape of Pusilleco,Cassarella d' 'o Capo 'e Pusilleco,
the moon rises and comes to kiss yousponta 'a luna e te vene a vasa
How many nights I have lostQuanta notte aggio perzo
watching,guardanotte,
how many days I have seen dawn!quanta juorne aggio visto schiara!

The sea sleeps...quiet, quietDorme 'o mare...voca, voca
All peace around me...Tutt'e pace attuorno a me...
But why,Ma pecche,
why did you leave mema pecche mm'he lassato
while I die, tonight, for you?mentr'io moro, stannote, pe' te?

Quiet today, heart, that in Pusilleco's land,Zitto oje core, ca 'nterra Pusilleco,
I see a shadow that makes me a signveco n'ombra ca segno mme fa
A hand and a voiceNa manella e na voce
call me:mme chiamano:
between these arms, Maria wants to returnfra sti bracce Maria vo' turna
The sea sleeps...Tonight beauty comesDorme 'o mare...Oje belle viene
in the sky the moon rises and goes.'ncielo 'a luna saglie e va.

My life!Vita mia!
My life, you love meVita mia mme vuo' bene
That sleep and dream do not make me forget.Ca is e suonno nun farme sceta.
The sea sleeps...quiet, quietDorme 'o mare...voca, vo'
