Paroles et traduction Claudio Villa - Luna Rossa

Luna Rossa

Vaco distrattamente abbandunato,
Ll'uocchie sott' 'o cappiello annascunnute,
Mane 'int' 'a sacca e bávero aizato,
Vaco siscanno ê stelle ca só' asciute.

E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te,
I' lle domando si aspietta a me,
E mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé,
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna."

E i' chiammo 'o nomme pe' te vedé,
Ma tutt"a gente ca parla 'e te,
Risponne: "E' tarde che vuó' sapé?
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna!"

Luna rossa,
Chi mme sarrá sincera?
Luna rossa,
Se n'è ghiuta ll'ata sera
Senza mme vedé.

E i' dico ancora ch'aspietta a me,
For' 'o barcone stanott' ê ttre,
E prega 'e Sante pe' mme vedé.
Mma nun ce sta nisciuna!

Mille e cchiù appuntamente aggio tenuto,
Tante e cchiù sigarette aggio appicciato,
Mille tazze 'e café mme só' bevuto,
Mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato.

E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te,
I' lle domando si aspietta a me,
E mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé,
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna."

Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna

Red Moon

I wander distractedly, lost,
My eyes hidden under my hat,
My hands in my pockets and my collar raised,
I wander seeking the stars that have risen.

And the red moon speaks to me of you,
I ask it if you await me,
And it answers me: "If you want to know,
There is no one here."

And I call your name to see you,
But all the people who speak of you,
Answer: "Why do you wish to know so late?
There is no one here!"

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

And still I say that you await me,
Perhaps on the boat tonight at three,
And praying to the Saints to see me.
But there is no one here!

I made a thousand or more appointments,
I lit as many cigarettes or more,
I drank a thousand cups of coffee,
I kissed a thousand bitter mouths.

And the red moon speaks to me of you,
I ask it if you await me,
And it answers me: "If you want to know,
There is no one here."

There is no one here
