I Te Vurria Vasa
Ah ! che bell'aria fresca
ch'addora e malvarosa.
E tu durmenno staje
ncopp'a sti ffronne 'e rosa.
'O sole a poco a poco
pe 'stu ciardino sponta;
'o viento passa e vasa
'stu ricciulillo 'nfronta.
'I te vurria vasa'...
'I te vurria vasa'...
Ma 'o core nun m' 'o
ddice 'e te sceta'.
'I me vurria addurmi'
'I me vurria addurmi'
vicino 'o sciato tujo
n'ora pur'i'!
Sento 'stu core tujo
che sbatte comm' 'a ll'onne.
Durmenno, angelo mio,
chi sa tu a chi te suonne!
'A gelusia turmenta
'stu core mio malato;
te suonne a me? Dimmello...
O pure suonne a n'ato?
'I te vurria vasa'...
'I te vurria vasa'...
Ma 'o core nun m' 'o
ddice 'e te sceta'.
'I me vurria addurmi'
'I me vurria addurmi'
vicino 'o sciato tujo
n'ora pur'i'!
I Want to Kiss You
Ah! What a lovely fresh air
that smells like roses.
And you, sleeping there
on these rose branches.
The sun slowly rises
in this little garden;
the wind passes and kisses
this little curl in front.
'I want to kiss you'...
'I want to kiss you'...
But my heart doesn't
tell me to wake you up.
'I want to fall asleep'
'I want to fall asleep'
next to your breath
for just an hour!
I feel your heart
beating like the waves.
Sleeping, my angel,
who knows who you dream of!
Jealousy torments
this sick heart of mine;
do you dream of me? Tell me...
or do you dream of someone else?
'I want to kiss you'...
'I want to kiss you'...
But my heart doesn't
tell me to wake you up.
'I want to fall asleep'
'I want to fall asleep'
next to your breath
for just an hour!
