Anema e Core

Soul and Heart

Anema e Core

We lost our peace and our dreams,Nuje ca perdimmo 'a pace'e 'o suonno,
Why don’t we ever say, why?...Num 'nce dicimmo, maje pecchè?...
Lips that kiss don’t want to,Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno,
These lips aren’t mine, oh no!Nun só' 'sti vvocche, oj né!
Still, I call you and you don’t answer,Pure, te chiammo a num rispunne,
Just to spite me...Pé ffà dispietto a mme...

Let’s stay like this, soul and heart,Tenimmoce accussì, ànema'e core,
Let’s not leave each other even for an hour,Nun 'nce lassammo cchiù manco pé n'ora,
This desire for you scares me...'stu desiderio 'e te, me fà paura...
Living with you!Campà cu tte!
Always with you!...Sempe cu tte!...
So I don’t die!...Pe' nun murì!...

What’s the point of saying bitter words,Che ce dicimmo a ffà, parole amare,
If love can live with just a breath!Si'o bbene, po' campà cu nu respiro!
If you’re also restless for this love,Si smanie pure tu pé chist'ammore,
Let’s stay like this... soul and heart!Tenimmoce accussi... ànema e core!

Maybe it’s true that crying is sweet,Forse sarrà ch'o chianto è doce,
Maybe it’s true that it feels good...Forse sarrà ca bbene fà...
When I feel happier,Quanno me sento cchiù felice,
It’s not happiness...Num è felicità...
Even if sometimes, you tell me,Pure si'e vvote, tu mme dice,
Distracted from the truth...Distratta à verità...

Let’s stay like this, soul and heart,Tenimmoce a accussi, ànema 'e core,
Let’s not leave each other even for an hour,Num 'nce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora,
This desire for you scares me...Stu desiderio 'e te, me fà paura...
Living with you!...Campà cu tte!...
Only with you...Sulo cu tte'...
So I don’t die!...Pe' nun murì!...

What’s the point of saying bitter words,Che ce dicimmo a ffà, parole amare,
If love can live with just a breath?Si'o bbene, pó campà cu nu respiro?
If you’re also restless for this love,Si smanie pure tu pé chist'ammore,
Let’s stay like this... soul and heart!Tenimmoce accussi... ànema e core!
