Si T'o Sapesse Dicere
Ah… si putesse dicere
Chell' c'o core dice
Quant' sarria felice
Si t' o sapesse di'
E si putesse sentere
Chell' che 'o core sente
Dicisse eternamente
Voglio resta' cu te'
Ma 'o core sape scrivere
'O core e' analfabeta
E' comm' a nu' pueta
Ca nun sape canta'
Se 'mbrogia sposta e vvirgole
Nu punto ammirativo
Mette nu' cungiuntivo
Addo nun 'nce adda sta'
E tu che o staje a sentere
Te 'mbruoglie appriesso a isso
Comme succede spisso,e addio felicita'
If I Could Tell You
Ah... if I could tell
What the heart says
How happy I would be
If you knew
And if I could feel
What the heart feels
It would say eternally
I want to stay with you
But the heart knows how to write
The heart is illiterate
It's like a poet
Who doesn't know how to sing
If it moves commas and periods
An exclamation point
Puts a subjunctive
Where it shouldn't be
And you who are listening
You get confused next to it
As often happens, goodbye happiness
