Lyrics and translation Franco Simone - Cittu

Cittu

Cittu cittu
Nun ci crisciu ancora ancora ca si ttie
E sarà ca sta mme sonnu
Ma me votu e visciu tie
Cchiù bbeddhra de lu sule tie
La ucca de cirasa
Me stau cittu cittu
Ma taveru me voi mie?

Cittu cittu
Quante vote ieu passai de casa tua
E ccu bisciu ci per casu
Te ncurgivi tie de mie
Me fermava alla fanescia tua
Nu ssapia cci mm'ia inventare mai
E quannu te vidia
Nu rraggionava cchiui

Qua rimagnu qua
E dimmi moi quantu me voi
Ma nu mme ddumannare a mmie
Cci gg'è ca pensu ieu de tie
Nu ppensu nenzi
Nu bboiu nenzi
Soltantu tie

Ma nu mme ddumannare a mmie
Cci gg'è ca pensu ieu de tie
Nu ppensu nenzi
Nu bboiu nenzi
Soltantu tie

E bbasta cu mme ddisciutu de costi a ttie
Cu stu ndoru de rose
Ca nu spiccia mai
Nu tte lassa mai
Nu sse cunsuma mai

Cittu cittu
Quante vote ieu passai de casa tua
E ccu bisciu ci per casu
Te ncurgivi tie de mie
Me fermava alla fanescia tua
Nu ssapia cci mm'ia inventare mai
E quannu te vidia
Nu rraggionava cchiui

Qua rimagnu qua
E dimmi moi quantu me voi
Ma nu mme ddumannare a mmie
Cci gg'è ca pensu ieu de tie
Nu ppensu nenzi
Nu bboiu nenzi
Soltantu tie

E bbasta cu mme ddisciutu de costi a ttie
Cu stu ndoru de rose
Ca nu spiccia mai
Nu tte lassa mai
Nu sse cunsuma mai

Cittu cittu
Nun ci crisciu ancora ancora ca si ttie
E sarà ca sta mme sonnu
Ma me votu e visciu tie
Cchiù bbeddhra de lu sule tie
La ucca de cirasa
Me stau cittu cittu
Ma taveru me voi mie?

Cittu

My dear, my dear
I still don't believe that you are mine
And it may be that I'm dreaming
But I turn and see you
You are more beautiful than the sun
Your mouth is like a cherry
I stay quiet, my dear
But do you really want me?

My dear, my dear
How many times have I passed by your house
And hoped to see you by chance
And you would notice me
I would stop at your window
Not knowing what to say
And when I saw you
I couldn't think straight anymore

I'll stay here
And tell me how much you love me
But don't ask me
What I think of you
I don't even think
I don't even want
Only you

But don't ask me
What I think of you
I don't even think
I don't even want
Only you

And it's enough for me to talk to you from here
With this scent of roses
That never ends
Never leaves you
Never fades

My dear, my dear

I'll stay here
And tell me how much you love me
But don't ask me
What I think of you
I don't even think
I don't even want
Only you

And it's enough for me to talk to you from here

Never leaves you
Never fades
