Lyrics and translation Gigi D'Alessio - Donna Sofì

Donna Sofì

Currenn′o tiempe nun t'ha cunzumata
Sta faccia bella e sempe chellalà
Didnt′a chist'uocchie sent'addor′e mare
Tu ca piacive assaie pur′a mammà

E camminate e strad'e tutt′o munne
E a tutt'o munn′e a fatt'anammurà
Comme me piace e raccuntà a sta gente
Ca si napulitane comm′a mme

Donna Sofì parlate
E io sento che dicite o munno s'è cagnate
Ma tu si a stessa e tant'anne fa
Donna Sofì guardate
Sti figli so cresciute
E chi na vera mamma nun ll′ha tenut′a penzat'a tte
Che sti parol′inutile
So asciut'a dint′all'anema
Donna Sofì scusate
Mi perdonate
Chist′è pe tte

Sofi Woman (Donna Sofì)

Time has not consumed you
This beautiful face that is always so beautiful
In these eyes, I smell the sea
You who please even my mother very much

You have walked the streets of the whole world
And made the whole world fall in love
How I like to tell people
That you are Neapolitan like me

Sofi Woman, speak
And I feel like you're saying the world has changed
But you're the same as you were so many years ago
Sofi Woman, look
These children have grown
And those who never had a real mother think of you
These are useless words
That have dried inside my soul
Sofi Woman, I apologize
Please forgive me
This is for you
