Te voglio bene assaje - Roberto Murolo Übersetzung ins Englische

Te voglio bene assaje

Pecché quanno me vide
Te 'ngrife comm'a gatto?
Nenné che t'aggio fatto
Ca no mme può vede'?
Io t'aggio amato tanto
Si t'amo tu lo saje

Io te voglio bene assaie
E tu nun pienze a me
Io te voglio bbene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me

La notte tutte dormeno
Ma io che bbuò durmìre!
Penzanno a Nenna mia
Mme sento ascevolì
Li quarte d'ora sonano
A uno, a dduje, a tre

Io te voglio bene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me
Io te voglio bene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me

Guardame 'nfaccia e vide
Comme song'arredutto
Sicco, peliento e brutto
Nennella mia, pe tte
Cusuto a filo doppio
Cu te me vedarraje

Io te voglio bene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me
Io te voglio bene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me

Quanno sò fatto cennere
Tanno me chiagnarraje
Sempe addimannarraje
"Nennillo mio addò stà?"
La fossa mia tu arape
E llà me truvarraje

Io te voglio bbene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me
Io te voglio bbene assaje
E tu nun pienze a me

I love you very much

Why, when you see me
Do you cringe like a cat?
My dear, what have I done?
That you can not see me?
I have loved you so much
If you love me, you know it

I love you very much
And you don't think about me
I love you very much
And you don't think about me

At night everyone sleeps
But I, who can sleep!
Thinking of my Nenna
I feel faint
The quarter hours strike
At one, at two, at three

I love you very much
And you don't think about me
I love you very much
And you don't think about me

Look me in the face and see
How I have been
Dry, hairless and ugly
My Nenna, for you
Sewn with double thread
With you I will see you

I love you very much
And you don't think about me
I love you very much
And you don't think about me

When I am ashes
Then you will cry for me
You will always ask
"My Nennillo, where are you?"
Open my grave
And there you will find me

I love you very much
And you don't think about me
I love you very much
And you don't think about me
