Anema e Core
Nuje ca perdimmo 'a pace'e 'o suonno,
Num 'nce dicimmo, maje pecchè?...
Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno,
Nun só' 'sti vvocche, oj né!
Pure, te chiammo a num rispunne,
Pé ffà dispietto a mme...
Tenimmoce accussì, ànema'e core,
Nun 'nce lassammo cchiù manco pé n'ora,
'stu desiderio 'e te, me fà paura...
Campà cu tte!
Sempe cu tte!...
Pe' nun murì!...
Che ce dicimmo a ffà, parole amare,
Si'o bbene, po' campà cu nu respiro!
Si smanie pure tu pé chist'ammore,
Tenimmoce accussi... ànema e core!
Forse sarrà ch'o chianto è doce,
Forse sarrà ca bbene fà...
Quanno me sento cchiù felice,
Num è felicità...
Pure si'e vvote, tu mme dice,
Distratta à verità...
Tenimmoce a accussi, ànema 'e core,
Num 'nce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora,
Stu desiderio 'e te, me fà paura...
Campà cu tte!...
Sulo cu tte'...
Pe' nun murì!...
Che ce dicimmo a ffà, parole amare,
Si'o bbene, pó campà cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pé chist'ammore,
Tenimmoce accussi... ànema e core!
Soul and Heart
We lost our peace and our dreams,
Why don’t we ever say, why?...
Lips that kiss don’t want to,
These lips aren’t mine, oh no!
Still, I call you and you don’t answer,
Just to spite me...
Let’s stay like this, soul and heart,
Let’s not leave each other even for an hour,
This desire for you scares me...
Living with you!
Always with you!...
So I don’t die!...
What’s the point of saying bitter words,
If love can live with just a breath!
If you’re also restless for this love,
Let’s stay like this... soul and heart!
Maybe it’s true that crying is sweet,
Maybe it’s true that it feels good...
When I feel happier,
It’s not happiness...
Even if sometimes, you tell me,
Distracted from the truth...
Let’s stay like this, soul and heart,
Let’s not leave each other even for an hour,
This desire for you scares me...
Living with you!...
Only with you...
So I don’t die!...
What’s the point of saying bitter words,
If love can live with just a breath?
If you’re also restless for this love,
Let’s stay like this... soul and heart!
