Canzone Appassiunata

I planted a little treeN'albero piccerillo aggiu piantato
Struggling to grow it with sweat and tearsCriscènnolo cu pena e cu sudore
A gust of wind already broke itNa ventecata giá mme ll'ha spezzato
And all the leaves change colorE tutte ffronne cágnano culore
Fruits have already fallen: And all of themCadute só' giá 'e frutte: E tuttuquante
Were sweet, and now they’ve turned bitterErano doce, e se só' fatte amare
But my heart says: Hey young loverMa 'o core dice: Oje giuvinotto amante
Hold on to the bitter things, cherish them more'E ccose amare, tiénele cchiù care

And bitter like you, I love you!E amara comme si', te voglio bene!
I love you and you make me dieTe voglio bene e tu mme faje murí

It was like a lovesick canaryEra commo canario 'nnammurato
This heart that sang morning and nightStu core che cantaje matina e sera
Wake up! I say and I don’t want to stay awakeScétate! Io dico e nun vò' stá sceta
And now, it doesn’t even sing in spring!E mo, nun canta manco a primmavera!
Those I love don’t make me happyChi voglio bene nun mme fa felice
Maybe it’s destined and written in the skyForse sta 'ncielo destinato e scritto
But I think an ancient saying goesMa I' penzo ca nu ditto antico dice
You can’t command the heartNun se cummanna a 'o core
And I stay quiet!E I' mme stó' zitto!
And I stay quiet, yes I love youE mme stó' zitto, sí Te voglio bene
I love you and you make me dieTe voglio bene e tu mme faje murí

I cry for love, and my tears fallChiagno p'ammore, e cade 'o chianto mio
Inside this head: the tears are piling upDint'a 'sta testa: 'o chianto 'a sta arracquanno
A beautiful rose blooms and I, for the thrillSchiòppa na bella rosa e I', pe' gulio
To the one who made me cry, I extend my handA chi mm'ha fatto chiagnere nce 'a manno
I say: My rose, forgive meLle dico: Rosa mia tu mme perduone
If you walk away without a conscienceSi te scarpesarrá senza cuscienza
There’s a saying that gives me reasonCe sta nu ditto ca mme dá ragione
Do good and forget, and if you do wrong, thinkFa' bene e scorda e si faje male penza

Think it over well, yes I love youPènzace buono sí Te voglio bene
I love you and you make me dieTe voglio bene e tu mme faje murí
