Paroles et traduction Enrico Caruso - Core 'ngrato

Core 'ngrato

Catarí, Catarí,
Pecché me dice sti parole amare?
Pecché me parle, e ò core me turmiente, Catarí?
Nun te scurdá ca tàggio dato ò core,

Catarí, nun te scurdá!
Catarí, Catarí,
Che vene a dicere
Stu parlá ca me dá spaseme?

Tu nun ce pienze a stu delore mio
Tu nun ce pienze, tu nun te ne cure.
Core, Core 'Ngrato,
T'haie pigliato à vita mia,

Tutt' é passato
E nun ce pienze cchiú!

Catarí, Catarí,
Tu nun ò saie ca 'nfino int' à na chiesa
Io só trasuto e aggio priato a Dio,
Catarí.
E llàggio ditto pure a ò cunfessore:

Í stó a suffrí pé chella llá!
Stó a suffrí, stó a suffrí
Nun se pó credere
Stó a suffrí tutte li strazie.

E ò cunfessore ch' é persona santa
M'ha ditto: figlio mio, lassala stá! lassala stá!
Core, Core 'Ngrato
T'haie pigliato à vita mia...

Core 'ngrato

Catarì, Catarì,
Why are you speaking these bitter words to me?
Why do you speak to me, and torture my heart, Catarì?
Don't you remember that I gave you my heart,

Catarì, don't forget!
Catarì, Catarì,
What do you mean
By these words that make me suffer?

You don't think about my pain
You don't think about it, you don't care.
Ungrateful heart, ungrateful heart,
You have taken my life,

Everything is gone
And you don't think about it anymore!

Catarì, Catarì,
You don't know that even in a church
I entered and prayed to God,
Catarì.
And there I also told the confessor:

I am suffering because of her!
I am suffering, I am suffering
It is unbelievable
I am suffering all the tortures.

And the confessor, who is a holy man
Said to me: my son, let her go! let her go!
Ungrateful heart, ungrateful heart
You have taken my life...
