Mi votu e mi rivotu suspirannu,
Passu li notti 'nteri senza sonnu.

E li biddizzi to' vaju cuntimplannu,
Mi passa di la notti sinu a ghiornu.

Pri tia nun pozzu cchiù arripusari,
Paci nun avi cchiù 'st'afflittu cori.

Lu vò sapiri quannu t'aju a lassari?
Quannu la vita mia finisci e mori.

I walk and walk around, sighing,
I spend whole nights outdoors without sleeping.

I come here to admire your beauty,
And I stay here all night until morning.

Because of you, I can't sleep anymore,
My tormented heart finds no peace.

Do you want to know when I'll leave you?
When my life will end, and I will die.
