In the May Evening

Roberto Murolo

Na Sera 'e Maggio

Quanno vien'a 'appuntamento
Guarde 'o mare, guarde ffronne
Si te parlo nun rispunne
Staje distratta comm'a che
Io te tengo dinto core
Sóngo ancor 'nnammurato
Ma tu, invece, pienze a n'ato
E te staje scurdanno 'e me

Quanno se dice: Sí!
Tiènelo a mente
Nun s'ha da fá murí
Nu core amante
Tu mme diciste: Sí! Na sera 'e maggio
E mo tiene 'o curaggio 'e mme lassá?

St'uocchie tuoje nun só' sincere
Comm'a quanno mme 'ncuntraste
Comm'a quanno mme diciste
"Voglio bene sulo a te"
E tremmanno mme giuraste
Cu na mano 'ncoppo core
Nun se scorda 'o primmo ammore!
Mo te staje scurdanno 'e me

Quanno se dice: Sí!
Tiènelo a mente
Nun s'ha da fá murí
Nu core amante
Tu mme diciste: Sí! Na sera 'e maggio
E mo tiene 'o curaggio 'e mme lassá?

Tu mme diciste: Sí! Na sera 'e maggio
E mo tiene 'o curaggio 'e mme lassá?

In the May Evening

When the appointment comes
Look at the sea, look at the leaves
If I talk to you, you don't respond
You're distracted like that
I hold you in my heart
I'm still in love
But you, instead, think of someone else
And you're forgetting about me

When it's said: Yes!
Keep it in mind
A loving heart
Should not die
You told me: Yes! In the May evening
And now do you have the courage to leave me?

Your eyes are not sincere
Like when you met me
Like when you told me
'I love only you'
And trembling, you swore to me
With a hand on your heart
You don't forget the first love!
Now you're forgetting about me

When it's said: Yes!
Keep it in mind
A loving heart
Should not die
You told me: Yes! In the May evening
And now do you have the courage to leave me?

You told me: Yes! In the May evening
And now do you have the courage to leave me?
