I Want to Kiss You

I Te Vurria Vasa

Ah! What a lovely fresh airAh ! che bell'aria fresca
that smells like roses.ch'addora e malvarosa.
And you, sleeping thereE tu durmenno staje
on these rose branches.ncopp'a sti ffronne 'e rosa.

The sun slowly rises'O sole a poco a poco
in this little garden;pe 'stu ciardino sponta;
the wind passes and kisses'o viento passa e vasa
this little curl in front.'stu ricciulillo 'nfronta.

'I want to kiss you'...'I te vurria vasa'...
'I want to kiss you'...'I te vurria vasa'...
But my heart doesn'tMa 'o core nun m' 'o
tell me to wake you up.ddice 'e te sceta'.
'I want to fall asleep''I me vurria addurmi'
'I want to fall asleep''I me vurria addurmi'
next to your breathvicino 'o sciato tujo
for just an hour!n'ora pur'i'!

I feel your heartSento 'stu core tujo
beating like the waves.che sbatte comm' 'a ll'onne.
Sleeping, my angel,Durmenno, angelo mio,
who knows who you dream of!chi sa tu a chi te suonne!

Jealousy torments'A gelusia turmenta
this sick heart of mine;'stu core mio malato;
do you dream of me? Tell me...te suonne a me? Dimmello...
or do you dream of someone else?O pure suonne a n'ato?

'I want to kiss you'...'I te vurria vasa'...
'I want to kiss you'...'I te vurria vasa'...
But my heart doesn'tMa 'o core nun m' 'o
tell me to wake you up.ddice 'e te sceta'.
'I want to fall asleep''I me vurria addurmi'
'I want to fall asleep''I me vurria addurmi'
next to your breathvicino 'o sciato tujo
for just an hour!n'ora pur'i'!
