Anema e Core

Soul and Heart

Anema e Core

We who lost peace and sleep,Nuje ca perdimmo 'a pace e 'o suonno,
We never tell each other: why?Nun ce dicimmo maje: pecché?
Mouths that don't want to kiss,Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno,
I don't know these mouths today!Nun só 'sti vvocche oje né'!
Also, I call you and you don't answerPure, te chiammo e nun rispunne
Just to spite me.Pe' fá dispietto a me.

We hold each other like this: soul and heart,Tenímmoce accussí: ánema e core,
We don't leave each other, not even for an hour,Nun ce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora,
This desire for you scares me,Stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura,
Living with you,Campá cu te,
Only with you,Sulo cu te,
To not die!Pe' nun murí!
What do we gain from bitter words,Che ce dicimmo a fá parole amare,
If happiness can live with one breath.Si 'o bbene po' campá cu nu respiro.
If you also yearn for this love,Si smanie pure tu pe' chist' ammore,
We hold each other like this... soul and heart!Tenímmoce accussí....ánema e core!

This desire for you scares me,Stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura,
Living with you,Campá cu te,
Always with you,Sempe cu te,
To not die.Pe' nun murí.
What do we gain from bitter words,Che ce dicimmo a fá parole amare,
If happiness can live with one breath.Si 'o bbene po' campá cu nu respiro.
If you also yearn for this love,Si smanie pure tu pe' chist' ammore,
We hold each other like this... soul and heart!Tenímmoce accussí....ánema e core!
