Lyrics and translation Domenico Modugno - 'O specchio (Remastered)




'O specchio (Remastered)
The Mirror (Remastered)
' O Specchio
The Mirror
Di Pazzaglia - Modugno
By Pazzaglia - Modugno
'Nu guarde cchiu' dint"o specchio
You don't look in the mirror anymore
Te fa' paura... chisa'
It scares you... who's that?
Te si sciupata 'e stu specchio
You've wasted away in front of this mirror
Cchiu' janca ancora te fa'!
It makes you look even paler!
Ma, si tu vuo', vita mia
But, if you want, my darling
'E suonne 'e tant'anne fa'...
The dreams of so many years ago...
Pe' 'na fatata magia
Through a magical spell
Ponno pe' n'ora turna'!
Can return for an hour!
Si so passate ll'anne
If the years have passed
Si volano 'e staggione
If the seasons have flown by
Si cagnano 'e canzone...
If the songs have changed...
Tu no!...
You haven't!...
Si' sempe tu!
You're still the same!
Pe' mme
To me
Si' ancora bella
You're still beautiful
Pecche' te voglio bene
Because I love you
Che ne' sarra' dimane
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
Si tu... nun ride cchiu'!
If you... don't smile anymore!
Datte 'nu poco 'e cipria
Put on a little powder
Accuoncete 'e capille
Fix your hair
Appontate 'na spilla
Pin on a brooch
Viene vicino a mme!
Come close to me!
'E ne' po' ffa' stu specchio
And then this mirror will work its
Miracule d'ammore
Miracle of love
Si' tremma ancora 'o core
Your heart will beat again
E se 'n'ammora 'e te!
And it will fall in love with you!
Nun voglio cchiu' tene 'nchiuse
I don't want to keep these
Sti sciure 'e carta pecche'
Paper flowers locked up anymore because
'E sciure overe so' schiuse
The real flowers have blossomed
Dint"o ciardino pe tte
In the garden for you
'A Primmavera gia' luce
Spring is already shining
L'albero viola se fa'
The purple tree is in bloom
Vene 'nu passero e dice:
A sparrow comes and says:
Me so' mparato 'a vula'!
I've learned to fly!
Si so passate ll'anne
If the years have passed
Si volano 'e staggione
If the seasons have flown by
Si cagnano 'e canzone...
If the songs have changed...
Tu no!...
You haven't!...
Si' sempe tu!
You're still the same!
Pe' mme
To me
Si' ancora bella
You're still beautiful
Pecche' te voglio bene
Because I love you
Che ne' sarra' dimane
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
Si tu... nun ride cchiu'!
If you... don't smile anymore!
Datte 'nu poco 'e cipria
Put on a little powder
Accuoncete 'e capille
Fix your hair
Appontate 'na spilla
Pin on a brooch
Viene vicino a mme!
Come close to me!
'E ne' po' ffa' stu specchio
And then this mirror will work its
Miracule d'ammore
Miracle of love
Si' tremma ancora 'o core
Your heart will beat again
E se 'n'ammora 'e te!
And it will fall in love with you!
E se 'n'ammora 'e te!
And it will fall in love with you!
