Paroles et traduction Beniamino Gigli - Dicitencello Vuje

Dicitencello Vuje

Dicitencello a 'sta cumpagna vosta
Ch'aggio perduto 'o suonno e 'a fantasia
C' 'a penzo sempe,
Ch'é tutta' 'a vita mia...
I' 'nce 'o vulesse dicere,
Ma nun 'nce 'o saccio di!

A' voglio bbene,
A' voglio bbene assaie,
Dicitencello vuie
Ca nun m' 'a scordo maie!

E' 'na passiona
Cchiù forte 'e 'na catena,
Ca me turmenta ll'anema
E nun me fa campá!

Dicitencello ch'è 'na rosa 'e maggio
Ch'è assaje cchiù bella 'e 'na jurnata 'e sole!
D"a vocca soia,
Cchiù fresca d' 'e vviole
I', ggià vulesse sentere
Ch'è nnammurata 'e me!

Te voglio bbene,
Te voglio bbene assaie
Si ttu, chesta catena,
Ca nun se spezza maie!
Suonno gentile,
Suspiro mio carnale
Te cerco comm'all'aria
Te voglio pe' campà!

Dicitencello Vuje

Tell your girl
I've lost my sleep and imagination
Because I think about her all the time,
She's my whole life...
I want to tell her this,
But I don't know how!

I love her,
I love her so much,
Tell her
That I'll never forget her!

It's a passion
Stronger than a chain,
That torments my soul
And won't let me live!

Tell her she's a May rose
That's much more beautiful than a sunny day!
From her mouth,
Fresher than violets
I long to hear
That she's in love with me!

I love you,
I love you so much
You are this chain,
That will never break!
Gentle dream,
My carnal sigh
I seek you like the air
I want you to live!
