Texts of the Neapolitan songs

Dormo 'a notte, e durmenn' io penzo tanto
Ca mm'addormo accussì 'mpruvvisamente,
E si mme sonno ca te tengo accanto,
Faccio 'nu suonno felice e cuntento.

Po', a poco a poco, mme sceto 'nfra tanto
Mme voto attuorno, ma nun veco niente
E 'int' ô silenzio me faccio 'nu chianto
E cu 'stu stesso chianto mm'addurmento.

I sleep at night, and in my dream I think so much
About falling asleep so quickly,
And if I dream that you are close to me,
I have a happy and joyful dream.

Then, little by little, I wake up while
I toss and turn but I see nothing around,
And in silence I cry,
And with these tears I fall asleep again.
