Lyrics and translation Mario Lanza - Che Gelida Manina - Remastered




Che Gelida Manina - Remastered
Che Gelida Manina - Remastered
Che gelida manina
Such a cold little hand,
Se la lasci riscaldar.
If I may warm it up.
Cercar che giova?
What's the use of searching?
Al buio non si trova.
In the dark, you won't find it.
Ma per fortuna
But fortunately,
è una notte di luna,
It's a moonlit night,
E qui la luna
And here the moon
L′abbiamo vicina.
Is near us.
Aspetti, signorina,
Wait, young lady,
Le dirò con due parole
In just a few words I'll tell you
Chi son, e che faccio,
Who I am, what I do,
Come vivo. Vuole?
How I live. Would you like to know?
Chi son?
Who am I?
Sono un poeta.
I'm a poet.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
What do I do? I write.
E come vivo? Vivo!
And how do I live? I live!
In povertà mia lieta
In my happy poverty
Scialo da gran signore
I squander like a great lord
Rime ed inni d'amore.
Verses and hymns of love.
Per sogni e per chimere
For dreams and for chimeras
E per castelli in aria,
And for castles in the air,
L′anima ho milionaria.
My soul is a millionaire.
Talor dal mio forziere
Sometimes from my treasure chest
Ruban tutti i gioelli
Two thieves steal all the jewels,
Due ladri, gli occhi belli.
Two thieves, your beautiful eyes.
V'entrar con voi pur ora,
They entered with you just now,
Ed i miei sogni usati
And my usual dreams
E i bei sogni miei,
And my beautiful dreams
Tosto si dileguar!
Quickly vanished!
Ma il furto non m'accora,
But I'm not sad about the theft,
Poichè, v′ha preso stanza
Since sweet hope
La dolce speranza!
Has taken up residence there!
Or che mi conoscete,
Now that you know me,
Parlate voi, deh! Parlate.
Tell me about yourself! Please, speak.
Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir!
Who are you? Please tell me!
