Maria Mari'
Arápete fenesta,
Famme affacciá a maria,
Ca stóngo 'mmiez'â via
Speruto d''a vedé.
Nun trovo n'ora 'e pace,
'a notte 'a faccio juorno,
Sempe pe' stá ccá attuorno,
Speranno 'e ce parlá.
Oje marí', oje marí',
Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te,
Famme addurmí,
Nu poco abbracciato cu te.
Oje marí', oje marí',
Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te,
Famme addurmí,
Oje marí', oje marí'.
Pare che giá s'arape
Na sénga 'e fenestella,
Maria, cu 'a manella,
Nu segno a me mme fa.
Sòna chitarra mia!
Maria s'è scetata!
Na scicca serenata
Facímmole sentí.
Oje marí', oje marí',
Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te,
Famme addurmí,
Abbracciato nu poco cu te.
Oje marí', oje marí',
Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te,
Famme addurmí,
Oje marí', oje marí'!
Maria Mari'
Peek out the window,
Let me see Maria,
I'm standing in the middle of the street
Hoping to see her.
I can't find a moment of peace,
I turn night into day,
Always hanging around here,
Hoping to talk to her.
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
How much sleep I lose for you,
Let me fall asleep,
A little embraced with you.
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
How much sleep I lose for you,
Let me fall asleep,
Oh Maria, oh Maria.
It seems like a little window
Is already opening,
Maria, with her little hand,
She signals to me.
Play my guitar!
Maria has woken up!
Let's make her hear
A sweet serenade.
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
How much sleep I lose for you,
Let me fall asleep,
Embraced a little with you.
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
How much sleep I lose for you,
Let me fall asleep,
Oh Maria, oh Maria!
