Shining Window

Roberto Murolo

Fenesta Ca Lucive

Fenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce
Sign'è ca Nénna mia stace malata
S'affaccia la surella e mme lu dice
"Nennélla toja è morta e s'è atterrata"

Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola
Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata
Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata!

Addio fenesta, rèstate 'nzerrata
Ca Nénna mia mo nun se pò affacciare
Io cchiù nun passarraggio da' 'sta strata
Vaco a lo camposanto a passíare

Zi' parrocchiano mio, tiene 'nce cura
Na lampa sempe tienece allummata
Na lampa sempe tienece allummata!

Shining Window

Shining window that now doesn't shine
It means that my girl is sick
Her sister comes to the window and tells me
'Your girl is dead and buried'

She used to cry because she slept alone
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead!

Goodbye window, stay closed
Because my girl can't show herself now
I won't pass by this street anymore
I'm going to the cemetery to wander

My dear parish priest, take care of her
Always keep a lamp lit
Always keep a lamp lit!
