Luna Rossa

Red Moon

Luna Rossa

Vacantly abandoned,Vaco distrattamente abbandunato,
Eyes hidden under the hat,ll'uocchie sott' 'o cappiello annascunnute,
Hands in the pocket and collar raised,mane 'int' 'a sacca e bávero aizato,
I walk scanning the stars that are dry.vaco siscanno ê stelle ca só' asciute.

And the red moon speaks to me of you,E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te,
I ask her if she waits for me,i' lle domando si aspietta a me,
And she answers me: 'If you want to know,e mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé,
There's no one here.'ccá nun ce sta nisciuna."

And I call your name to see you,E i' chiammo 'o nomme pe' te vedé,
But all the people who speak of you,ma tutt''a gente ca parla 'e te,
Answer: 'Isn't it too late for you to know?risponne: "E' tarde che vuó' sapé?
There's no one here!'Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna!"

Red moon,Luna rossa,
Who will be sincere to me?chi mme sarrá sincera?
Red moon,Luna rossa,
She left the other nightse n'è ghiuta ll'ata sera
Without seeing me.senza mme vedé.

And I still say she waits for me,E i' dico ancora ch'aspietta a me,
Outside the boat tonight at three,for' 'o barcone stanott' ê ttre,
And pray to the Saints to see me.e prega 'e Sante pe' mme vedé.
But there's no one here!Mma nun ce sta nisciuna!

A thousand and more appointments I've had,Mille e cchiù appuntamente aggio tenuto,
Many more cigarettes I've lit,tante e cchiù sigarette aggio appicciato,
A thousand cups of coffee I've drunk,mille tazze 'e café mme só' bevuto,
A thousand bitter kisses I've tasted.mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato.

And the red moon speaks to me of you,E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te,
I ask her if she waits for me,I' lle domando si aspietta a me,
And she answers me: 'If you want to know,e mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé,
There's no one here.'ccá nun ce sta nisciuna."

There's no one hereCcá nun ce sta nisciuna
