Lyrics and translation Roberto Murolo - Passione

Passione

Cchiù luntana mme staje
Cchiù vicina te sento
Chisá a chistu mumento
Tu a che pienze... che faje
Tu mm′hê miso 'int"e vvéne
Nu veleno ch′è doce
Comme pesa 'sta croce
Ca trascino pe' te
Te voglio... Te penzo... Te chiammo
Te veco... Te sento... Te sonno
E′ n′anno
Ce pienze ch'è n′anno
Ca st'uocchie nun ponno
Cchiù pace truvá?
E cammino, cammino
Ma nun saccio addó′ vaco
I' stó′ sempe 'mbriaco
E nun bevo maje vino
Aggio fatto nu vuto
â Madonna d"a neve
Si mme passa 'sta freve
Oro e perle lle dó′
Te voglio... Te penzo... Te chiammo
Te veco... Te sento... Te sonno
E′ n'anno
Ce pienze ch′è n'anno
Ca st′uocchie nun ponno
Cchiù pace truvá?

Passion

The further away you are from me
The closer I feel you
I wonder at this moment
What you're thinking... what you're doing
You've put me under your spell
A sweet poison
How heavy is this cross
That I carry for you
I want you... I think of you... I call out to you
I see you... I hear you... I dream of you
A year
Think of it as a year
That these eyes of mine will not be able to
Find peace ever again?
I walk and I walk
But I don't know where I'm going
I'm always drunk
And I never drink wine
I made a vow
To Our Lady of the Snows
If this fever ever passes
I'll give her gold and pearls
I want you... I think of you... I call out to you
I see you... I hear you... I dream of you
A year
Think of it as a year
That these eyes of mine will not be able to
Find peace ever again?
