Lyrics and translation Joan Baez - 'nu Bello Cardillo (Remastered, Live)

'nu Bello Cardillo (Remastered, Live)

Sto' criscenno no bello Cardillo
Quanta cose ca ll'aggi"a 'mpara
Ha da ire da chisto e da chillo
Li 'mmasciate isso mm'ha da porta
Siente cca bello mio: lloco 'nnante
Nc'e na casa, na nenna nce sta
Tu la vide ca nun e distante
Chella nenna haje ire a trova
Si la truove ca stace dormenno
Pe' na fata, gue, non la piglia
No rommore non fa co' li ppenne
Gue, cardi', tu ll'aviss"a sceta?
Si affacciata po' sta a lo barcone
Pe' na rosa ll'aviss"a piglia?
Gue, cardi', vi' ca lla tu te stuone
Va' vattenne cardi', nn"addura
Si la truove ca face ll'ammore
'Sto cortiello annascunnete cca
'Nficcancillo deritto a lo core
E lo sango tu mm'haje da porta
Ma si penza vatte' chiano chiano
Zitto zitto te nce haje da azzecca
Si afferra po' te vo' co' la mano
Priesto 'mpietto tu ll'haje da zompa

'And Cardillo (Remastered, Live)

I'm growing up in the beautiful Cardillo
How many things I have to learn
I have to go from this one to that one
He has to take me there
Listen here, my friend: over there
There's a house, a girl is there
You see her because she's not far away
That girl you have to go find
If you find her sleeping
Don't take her for a fairy
Don't make noise with
Hey, heart, did you wake her up?
If she's leaning out of the balcony
Send her a rose
Hey, heart, see how you're killing yourself
Go away, heart, don't smell
If you find her making love
Hide this knife here
Stick it straight into her heart
And you have to bring me the blood
But if you think go slowly
Quietly you have to hit her
If she grabs you, I want you with your hand
Quickly you have to jump on her
