Paroles et traduction Carlo Bergonzi, Enrico Pessina & Madrid Chamber Orchestra - Voce 'e notte

Voce 'e notte

Si ′sta voce te scéta 'int"a nuttata,
Mentre t′astrigne 'o sposo tujo vicino...
Statte scetata, si vuó' stá scetata,
Ma fa′ vedé ca duorme a suonno chino...
Nun ghí vicino ê llastre pe′ fá 'a spia,
Pecché nun puó sbagliá ′sta voce è 'a mia...
E′ 'a stessa voce ′e quanno tutt'e duje,
Scurnuse, nce parlávamo cu 'o "vvuje".
Si ′sta voce te canta dint"o core
Chello ca nun te cerco e nun te dico;
Tutt"o turmiento ′e nu luntano ammore,
Tutto ll'ammore ′e nu turmiento antico...
Si te vène na smania 'e vulé bene,
Na smania ′e vase córrere p"e vvéne,
Nu fuoco che t'abbrucia comm′a che,
Vásate a chillo... che te 'mporta 'e me?
Si ′sta voce, che chiagne ′int"a nuttata,
Te sceta 'o sposo, nun avé paura...
Vide ch′è senza nomme 'a serenata,
Dille ca dorme e che se rassicura...
Dille accussí: "Chi canta ′int'a ′sta via
O sarrá pazzo o more 'e gelusia!
Starrá chiagnenno quacche 'nfamitá...
Canta isso sulo... Ma che canta a fá?!..."

Your Voice in the Night

If this voice wakes you in the night,
While your husband holds you tight...
Stay awake, if you wish to stay awake,
But pretend to be sound asleep...
Do not go to the window to spy,
For you cannot mistake this voice of mine...
It′s the same voice as when we two,
In secret, spoke with each other in whispers.
If this voice sings to you in your heart
What I do not seek and do not tell you;
All the torment of a distant love,
All the love of an ancient torment...
If a longing to love comes over you,
A longing to run to the windows and look out,
A fire that burns you like that,
Kiss him... what do you care about me?
If this voice, that cries in the night,
Wakes your husband, do not be afraid...
See that the serenade is without a name,
Tell him that he is sleeping and that he can rest assured...
Tell him this: "He who sings in this street
Is either mad or dying of jealousy!
He must be weeping some infamy...
He sings alone... But why does he sing?!"
