Anema e Core
Nuje ca perdimmo 'a pace e 'o suonno
Nun ce dicimmo maje pecchè?
Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno
Nun so' sti vvocche oje ne'!
Pure, te chiammo e nun rispunne
Pe' fa dispietto a me
Tenimmoce accusì: Anema e core
Nun ce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora
Stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura
Campà cu te, sempre cu te, pe' nun murì
Che ce dicimmo a fa parole amare
Si 'o bbene po' campà cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore
Tenimmoce accussì anema e core!
Forse sarrà ca 'o chianto è doce
Forse sarrà ca bene fa
Quanno mme sento cchiù felice
Nun è felicità
Specie si è vvote tu mme dice
Distratta, 'a verità
Stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura
Campà cu te, sempre cu te, pe' nun murì
Che ce dicimmo a fa parole amare
Si 'o bbene po' campà cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore
Tenimmoce accussì anema e core!
Soul and Heart
We lost our peace and our dreams
Why don’t we ever say it?
Lips that kiss don’t want to
Aren’t these lips, oh baby!
Even when I call you, you don’t answer
Just to spite me
Let’s hold on like this: Soul and heart
We won’t let go, not 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 survive on a breath?
If you’re yearning for this love too
Let’s hold on like this, soul and heart!
Maybe it’s true that crying is sweet
Maybe it’s true that it does good
When I feel happier
It’s not happiness
Especially when sometimes you tell me
Distracted, the truth
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 survive on a breath?
If you’re yearning for this love too
Let’s hold on like this, soul and heart!
