Year: 1963


Tramonta 'a luna
E nuje, pe' recità ll'urdema scena,
Restammo mmane e mmane,
Senza tenè 'o curaggio 'e ce guardà.

Famme chello che vuò
Indifferentemente.
Tanto 'o ssaccio che sò:
Pe' tte nun sò cchiù niente!
E damme 'stu veleno,
Nun aspettà dimane,
Ca, indifferentemente,
Si tu m'accide nun te dico niente.

E ride pure,
Mentre me scippe 'a pietto chistu core.
Nun sento cchiù dulore
E nun tengo cchiù llacreme pe' tte.

Famme chello che vuò
Indifferentemente.
Tanto 'o ssaccio che sò:
Pe' tte nun sò cchiù niente!
E damme 'stu veleno,
Nun aspettà dimane,
Ca, indifferentemente,
Si tu m'accide nun te dico niente.

E indifferentemente
Io perdo a tte!

translated by Natalia Chernega


The moon rises
And, to play the last scene,
We still hold each other's hands
Without daring to look at each other.

Do what you want with me,
Indifferently.
I know who I am:
Now I'm nothing to you!
Well, give me this poison,
Don't wait for tomorrow,
Because, if indifferently
You kill me, I tell you nothing.

But you laugh
While you rip my heart out.
I feel no pain anymore
And I have no tears for you anymore.

Do what you want with me,
Indifferently.
I know who I am:
Now I'm nothing to you!
Well, give me this poison,
Don't wait for tomorrow,
Because, if indifferently
You kill me, I tell you nothing.

And, indifferently,
I'm losing you!
