Stanotti, amuri mè, la tò finestra
È a 'u scuru e tu 'un ci sì mancu affacciata.
Ma unni ti trovi tu, picciotta bedda,
Junci lu cantu d'a mè sirinata!
A ttia 'u Signuri ti detti
Du occhi granni di mari
E 'na vuccuzza ca pari cirasa
E nun dici paroli d'amuri.
E quannu ogni sira tu veni
Mentri iu dormu 'nto sonnu,
Mi pari ca tuttu 'u munnu
S'avissi a firmari pi sempiri ccà.
E ora ca lu sa' ca chistu cori
Si tu 'un ci arridi nun pò arripusari,
Dunaci, bedda mè, tecchia d'amuri
Si un jornu lu vò vidiri campari!
A ttia 'u Signuri ti detti
Du occhi granni di mari
E 'na vuccuzza ca pari cirasa
E nun dici paroli d'amuri.
E quannu ogni sira tu veni
Mentri iu dormu 'nto sonnu,
Mi pari ca tuttu 'u munnu
S'avissi a firmari pi sempiri ccà.
перевод Чернега Натальи
Tonight, my love, your window
Is dark and you don't look out.
But wherever you are, beautiful girl,
Join my serenade!
The Lord has blessed you
With eyes as vast as the sea
And lips like cherries,
But you don't say the words of love.
And every evening, when you come to me
In my dreams,
It seems to me as if the whole world
Has frozen forever.
And now that you know my heart
Finds no peace unless I hear your laughter,
Give it a little love, my beauty,
If you want to see it beat one day!
The Lord has blessed you
With eyes as vast as the sea
And lips like cherries,
But you don't say the words of love.
And every evening, when you come to me
In my dreams,
It seems to me as if the whole world
Has frozen forever.
