Lyrics and translation Vincenzo Bellini - Fenesta che lucive




Fenesta che lucive
Window That Once Shone
Fenesta che lucive e mo' nun luce
Window that once shone, now dark and cold
Sign'è ca nenna mia stace ammalata
A sign that my love lies ill and old
S'affaccia la sorella e me lo dice
Her sister looks out and tells me so
Nennella toja è morta e sotterrata
Your darling Nell is dead and laid below
Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola
She always wept because she slept alone
Mo' duorme co' li muorte accompagnata
Now with the dead, she rests, no more alone
Mo' duorme co' li muorte accompagnata
Now with the dead, she rests, no more alone
Va nella chiesa e scuopre lu tavuto
I go to the church and open the tomb
Vide nennella toja comm'è turnata
I see your darling Nell, now in her gloom
Da chella vocca che n'ascéano sciure
From that mouth where flowers once did bloom
Mo' n'esceno li vierme, oh che pietate
Now worms emerge, oh, such a bitter doom
Zi' parrucchiane mio, àbbice cura
My parish priest, please take heed
'Na lampa sempe tiénece allummata
Keep a lamp forever lit, I plead
'Na lampa sempe tiénece allummata
Keep a lamp forever lit, I plead
