Paroles et traduction Enrico Caruso - Mamma Mia Che Vo' Sape'

Mamma Mia Che Vo' Sape'

Canta pe' mme, stanotte, na canzone,
Tu ca si' bella e tiene 'a voce d'oro.
Canta pe' mme, stanotte, pecchè si moro,
Moro sentenno na bella canzone.

Canta na serenata 'e marenare
Ch"a tantu tiempo nun se canta cchiù.
Mare! Stanotte, quanta varche a mare!
Ma tu nun cante? Ma a che pienze tu?

Pecché tu chiagne si 'a nuttata è bella,
E si' figliola, e tiene 'a voce d'oro?
Canta pe' mme, pe' mme ca' mme ne moro,
Moro sentenno na canzone bella.

Canta, luntana mia, ca' si' turnata,
Ca' si' turnata e nun te ne puó' ghí.
Canta, pecché te tengo 'ncatenata,
Pecché tu sola mm'hê 'a vedé murí!

Mamma Mia Che Vo' Sape'

Sing for me, tonight, a song,
You who are beautiful and have a golden voice.
Sing for me, tonight, because if I die,
I will die hearing a beautiful song.

Sing a serenade of a sailor,
Who hasn't sung in so long.
Sea! Tonight, how many boats at sea!
But you do not sing? What are you thinking?

Why do you cry if the night is beautiful,
And if you are a young girl, and have a golden voice?
Sing for me, for me who am dying,
I will die hearing a beautiful song.

Sing, my faraway one, since you have returned,
Since you have returned and cannot leave.
Sing, because I have you in chains,
Because you alone make me want to see death!
