Amuri miu, senza arrispunniri,
Siddu stasira 'un pozzu scinniri,
Sugnu firmatu davanti a l'entrata;
Haju un pinseri d'arrinesciri,
Siddu tò matri arriva a nesciri.
Speru ca ti lassa sula,
C'avi cchiù d'un'ura ca t'aspettu ccà.

Dammi 'na manu c'appiccicu!
Ah, si putissi vulari, chi filicità!
Tenimi forti ca sciddicu!
Ma l'amuri mi suspinci e mi ci fa arrivà.
Ah, si ci arrivu p'un pizzicu,
'Sti labbruzza 'nzuccarati ti vurria vasà;
Arma mia, in quatti mura tu in casa sula,
No, nun ti scantà!
Stanotti durmemu 'nsemmula.

Li biddizzi to' scummogghiati,
Sangu miu, fatta di zuccaru.
Oh, chi furtuna: c'è 'u lustru 'i luna!
A la finestra avvicinamuci,
A 'u lustru 'i luna taliamuci.
Iu ti vasu e tu mi vasi,
Lu distinu vozi ca 'nn'am'a spusà.

Ora è l'alba e ha scinniri.
Sangu miu, curuzzu duci,
Comu t'hè lassà?
Lassami iri e 'un mi teniri!
Ora veni tò matruzza
E 'un pozzu stari ccà.
Sì, iu lu sacciu ca 'vveniri,
Ora mi 'nni vaju ma 'stu cori resta ccà.
Sangu miu, curuzzu duci, cori di 'stu cori,
Comu t'hè lassà?
Lassami iri e 'un mi teniri!

My love, don't worry,
If I can't get to you tonight,
I'll be waiting at the front door;
I'm thinking of trying again,
If your mum leaves the house.
I hope you'll be alone and have
More than an hour because I'm waiting here.

Give me your hand so I can climb!
Oh, if only I could fly, what happiness it would be!
Hold me tight, I'm slipping!
But love makes me come here.
Oh, if I come here for a moment,
I will kiss your sweet lips;
My love, you are alone within these four walls,
No, don't be afraid!
Tonight we'll be together.

Reveal your beauty,
My dear, you're as sweet as sugar.
Oh, what luck: the moon is shining!
We'll grow closer by your window,
In the moonlight, we will look at each other.
I will kiss you, and you will kiss me,
Fate wants us to get married.

The dawn is coming, and I have to go.
My dear, my sweetheart,
How can I part with you?
Let me go and don't hold me!
Your mum will be here soon,
And I won't be able to stay.
Yes, I know she's supposed to come,
I'm leaving now, but my heart remains here.
My dear, my sweetheart, my lovely,
How can I part with you?
Let me go and don't hold me!
