Lyrics and translation Aurelio Fierro - 'A Luciana




'A Luciana
'A Luciana
Port ancor o' scialle 'e lusse,
Wearing a lustrous scarf,
Port ancora 'a pettenesse,
Wearing a comb as well,
Sta luciana quannne passa,
When this Luciana passes,
Nun te fa chiu' arraggiuna',
My mind becomes a haze,
'E vote incontro 'pe santa lucia,
And sometimes toward Saint Lucia,
'E che ma rette dinte 'o core mie,
She takes her place deep in my heart,
Si pense da ferma',
I think when she stands,
Si cerche e ce parla',
And I try to talk,
Chella me guarde stuorte
She treats me mean
E m'aggia sta',
And I fixate,
A sta luciana ca passa e spassa
On this Luciana who passes and strolls
Scialle 'e lusse pettenesse,
Her lustrous scarf and her comb,
Pena semmana ma faticasse,
Hardly a week goes by that I refrain,
Po 'a fermasse e le dicesse,
I stop and tell her,
Io nun ve cerco niente,
I don't want any more,
Ma dateme 'o permesso,
But just hear me out,
Ve do nu vase 'ncoppa
Let me just kiss you,
'A pettenesse,
Your beautiful comb.
'Mann ritte 'o pate è 'nziste,
Your father's stern and righteous,
'Mann ritte 'o frate è tuoste,
Your brother's firm and strong,
Tene 'o zio ch'e' cape n'testa,
Your uncle's wise and respected,
E' c'e' sta poco 'a pazzia,
And there's some craziness there,
Ma io che c"e pozzo fa
But what can I do
Chella me piace,
When you make me weak,
Voglio pazzia 'c'o fuoco
I want your fiery madness
E si me coce,
And if it burns me,
Me coce è c'aggia fa,
Let it burn, what can I do,
Ma s'anna rassigna',
If you just relax,
Io senza e chella
I can't survive
Nun pozzo campa',
Without you.
A sta luciana ca passa e spassa
On this Luciana who passes and strolls
Scialle 'e lusse pettenesse,
Her lustrous scarf and her comb,
Pena semmana ma faticasse,
Hardly a week goes by that I refrain,
E fermasse e le dicesse,
I stop and tell her,
Io nun ve cerco niente,
I don't want any more,
Ma dateme 'o permesso,
But just hear me out,
Ve do nu vase 'ncoppa
Let me just kiss you,
'A pettenesse,
Your beautiful comb.
Io nun ve cerco niente,
I don't want any more,
Ma dateme 'o permesso,
But just hear me out,
Ve do nu vase 'ncoppa,
Let me just kiss,
Ve do nu vase 'ncoppa,
Let me just kiss,
Ve do nu vase 'ncooppa,
Let me just kiss
'A pettenesse
Your beautiful comb.
