Lyrics and translation Beniamino Gigli - O Surdato 'Nnammurato




O Surdato 'Nnammurato
The Soldier in Love
Staje luntana da stu core,
Far away from this heart,
A te volo cu 'o penziero
I fly to you with my thoughts
Niente voglio e niente spero
I want nothing and hope nothing
Ca tenerte sempe affianco a me!
But to always have you by my side!
Si' sicura 'e chist'ammore
Be sure of this love
Comm'je so' sicuro 'e te...
As I am sure of you...
Oje vita, oje vita mia
Oh life, oh my life
Oje core 'e chistu core
Oh soul of this soul
Si' stata 'o primmo ammore
You were the first love
E 'o primmo e ll'urdemo sarraje pe' me!
And the first and the last you will be for me!
Quanta notte nun te veco,
How many nights I don't see you,
Nun te sento 'int'a sti bbracce,
I don't feel you in these arms,
Nun te vaso chesta faccia,
I don't kiss this face,
Nun t'astregno forte 'mbraccio a mme.
I don't hold you tight in my arms.
Ma scetannome 'a sti suonne,
But waking up from these dreams,
Mme faje chiagnere pe' te...
Makes me cry for you...
Oje vita, oje vita mia
Oh life, oh my life
Oje core 'e chistu core
Oh soul of this soul
Si' stata 'o primmo ammore
You were the first love
E 'o primmo e ll'urdemo sarraje pe' mme!
And the first and the last you will be for me!
Scrive sempe e sta' cuntenta:
Write always and be happy:
Io nun penzo che a te sola
I think only of you alone
Nu penziero me cunzola,
One thought consoles me,
Ca tu pienze sulamente a mme.
That you think only of me.
'A cchiù bella 'e tutt'e bbelle,
The most beautiful of all the beautiful ones,
Nun è maje cchiù bella 'e te...
Is never more beautiful than you...
Oje vita, oje vita mia
Oh life, oh my life
Oje core 'e chistu core
Oh soul of this soul
Si' stata 'o primmo ammore
You were the first love
E 'o primmo e ll'urdemo sarraje pe' mme!
And the first and the last you will be for me!
