Fenesta Ca Lucive

Shining Window

Fenesta Ca Lucive

Shining window that now doesn't shineFenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce
It means that my girl is sickSign'è ca Nénna mia stace malata
Her sister comes to the window and tells meS'affaccia la surella e mme lu dice
'Your girl is dead and buried'"Nennélla toja è morta e s'è atterrata"

She used to cry because she slept aloneChiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola
Now she sleeps accompanied by the deadMo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead!Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata!

Goodbye window, stay closedAddio fenesta, rèstate 'nzerrata
Because my girl can't show herself nowCa Nénna mia mo nun se pò affacciare
I won't pass by this street anymoreIo cchiù nun passarraggio da' 'sta strata
I'm going to the cemetery to wanderVaco a lo camposanto a passíare

My dear parish priest, take care of herZi' parrocchiano mio, tiene 'nce cura
Always keep a lamp litNa lampa sempe tienece allummata
Always keep a lamp lit!Na lampa sempe tienece allummata!
