Paroles et traduction Franco Califano - Malafemmena

Malafemmena

Si avisse fatto a n′ato, chello ch'e fatto a mme
St′ommo t'avesse acciso, tu vuò sapé pecché?
Pecché 'ncopp′a sta terra,
Femmene comme a te non ce hanna sta
Pé n′ommo onesto comme a me!...
Femmena, tu si na malafemmena!
Chist'uocchie ′e fatto chiagnere...
Lacreme e 'nfamità.

Femmena, si tu peggio ′e na vipera,
M'e ′ntussecata l'anema,
Nun pozzo cchiù campà.

Femmena, ssi ddoce comme 'o zucchero,
Però sta faccia d′angelo
Te serve pe ′ngannà...

Femmena, tu si 'a cchiù bella femmena,
Te voglio bene e t′odio, nun te pozzo scurdà...

Te voglio ancora bene, ma tu nun saie pecchè...
Pecchè l'unico amore si stata tu pe me...
E tu pe nu capriccio, tutto ′e distrutto, ojnè,
Ma Dio nun t'o perdone chello ch′e fatto a mme!

Malafemmina

If I had done to another, what was done to me
That man would have killed you, do you want to know why?
Because on this earth,
There are no women like you for
An honest man like me!...
Woman, you are a wicked woman!
These eyes have made me cry...
Tears and infamy.

Woman, you are worse than a viper,
My soul is poisoned,
I can no longer live.

Woman, you are as sweet as sugar,
But that angel's face
Serves you to deceive...

Woman, you are the most beautiful woman,
I love you and I hate you, I cannot forget you...

I still love you, but you don't know why...
Because you have been the only love for me...
And you destroyed everything for a whim, oh,
But God will not forgive you for what you did to me!
