Paroles et traduction Domenico Modugno - 'U pisce spada

'U pisce spada

Dda'è, dda'è,
Lu vitti, lu vitti, lu vitti,
Piglia la fiocina,
Uccidilu, uccidilu, ahhh!
E pigliaru la fimminedda, drittu drittu 'n tra lu cori,
E chiangia di duluri.
Ahai ahai ai.
E la varca la strascinava
E lu sangu ci curriva,
E lu masculu chiangiva,
Ahai ahai ai.
E lu masculu paria 'mpazzutu,
Cci dicia:
"Bedda mia nun chiangiri, bedda mia nun chiangiri
Dimmi a tia chi haiu afari".
Rispunnia la fimminedda, cu nu filu, filu e vuci:
"Scappa, scappa amuri miu,
Ca sinnò t'accidinu!"
No, no, no, no, no,
Amuri miu,
Si tu mori vogliu muriri
'Nsemi a tia, si tu' mori amuri miu
Vogliu muriri.
Cu un sartu si truvau cu issa
Cucchiu cucchiu, cori a cori
E accussì finiu l'amuri di du' pisci sfurtunati.
Dda'è dda'è dda'è, lu vitti,
C'è puro lu masculu,
Uccidilu, uccidilu, uccidilu, ahhh!
Chist'è na storia
D'un pisci spada.
Storia d'amuri.

'U pisce spada

There, there.
I saw it, I saw it, I saw it,
Grab the harpoon,
Kill it, kill it, ahhh!
And they took the little woman straight into the heart,
And she cries in pain.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
And the boat dragged it
And the blood ran,
And the male cried,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
And the male seemed to have gone mad
He was saying:
"My love, don't cry, my love, don't cry
Tell me what to do".
The little woman replied, with a soft, gentle voice:
"Run, run my love,
Or else they'll kill you!"
No, no, no, no, no,
My love,
If you die, I want to die
With you, if you die, my love
I want to die.
They found themselves in a trap with a swordfish
Heart to heart, soul to soul
And that was the end of the love of two ill-fated fish.
Over there, over there, over there, I saw it,
Even the male,
Kill it, kill it, kill it, ahhh!
This is a story
Of a swordfish.
A love story.
