Paroles et traduction Armando Valsani - Luna Rossa

Luna Rossa

Vaco distrattamente abbandunato...
Ll'uocchie sott'o cappiello annascunnute
Mane 'int'a sacca e bavero aizato...
Vaco siscanno e stelle ca so'asciute...

E'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te
Io lle domando si aspiette a me,
E mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuo'sape,
Cca nun ce esta nisciuna..."

E io chiammo 'o nomme pe'te vede,
Ma, tutt'a gente ca parla 'e te,
Risponne: "E tarde che vuo'sape?!
Cca nun ce sta nisciuna!..."

Luna rossa,
Chi mme sarra sincera?
Luna rossa,
Se n'e ghiuta ll'ata sera
Senza mme vede...

Mille e cchiu appuntamente aggio tenuto...
Tante e cchiu sigarette aggio appicciato...
Tanta tazze 'e cafe mme so' bevuto...
Mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato...

E'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te
Io lle domando si aspiette a me,
E mme risponne: "Si o vvuo' sape,
Cca nun ce sta nisciuna..."

E io chiammo 'o nomme pe'te vede
Ma, tutt'a gente ca parla 'e te,
Risponne: "E tarde che vuo'sape?!
Cca nun ce sta nisciuna!..."

E io dico ancora ch'aspetta a me,
For'o barcone stanott'e ttre,
E prega 'e Sante pe'mme vede...
Ma nun ce sta nisciuna...

Red Moon

I wander along, lost in thought...
My eyes hidden beneath my hat
My hands in my pockets and my collar turned up...
I wander searching for stars that have come out...

The red moon speaks to me of you
I ask her if she's waiting for me,
And she answers, "If you really want to know,
There is no one here..."

And I call out Your name to see
But everyone who speaks to me,
Responds, "It's too late, what do you want to know?!
There is no one here!..."

Red moon,
Who will be honest with me?
Red moon,
She left last night
Without seeing me...

A thousand and more times I've been stood up...
I've lit countless cigarettes...
I've drunk countless cups of coffee...
I've kissed a thousand bitter lips...

The red moon speaks to me of you
I ask her if she's waiting for me,
And she answers, "If you really want to know,
There is no one here..."

And I call out Your name to see,
But everyone who speaks to me,
Responds, "It's too late, what do you want to know?!
There is no one here!..."

And still I say she's waiting for me,
She'll be at the dock tonight at three,
And pray to the saints so she can see me...
But there is no one here...
