Paroles et traduction Gigi D'Alessio - Caro Renato

Caro Renato

Caro Renato
N′ata fenesta a Napule s'è chiuse
Te ne sì ghiut aier all′improvviso
A Dio nun ll'e vuluto fa aspettà

Caro Renato
Nu sacc e cose ce rimast e te
E so ricorde fatte sul e musica
'E te nun ce putimme maie scurdà
′Sti note parlano, pare che chiagnene
Se ne so accorte ca nun staie sunanno tu

E mo staie llà, staje cammenanno ′nzieme cu Totò
Tutt'elegante stev′a t'aspettà
Pecché stev arrivanno m′paradiso natu piezzo 'da città
E mo staie llà, stanno sunanno ll′angele cu te
'Nanz'a ′nu pianoforte ncopp′e nuvole
E pure Dio te vo' sentì e cantà

Io stongo ccà, parlann′e te
Tu ca staie llà, salutame a mammà

Dear Renato

Dear Renato
A window in Naples has closed
You suddenly left yesterday
You didn’t want to make God wait

Dear Renato
A bag of things remained of you
They are memories gathered in the music
We will never be able to forget you
These notes speak, they seem to cry
They have realized that it is not you playing

And now you are there, you are walking with Totó
He was waiting for you, all dressed up
Because they were arriving in heaven from a distant part of the city
And now you are there, the angels are playing with you
In front of a piano on the clouds
And even God wants to hear you sing

I am here, speaking of you
You who are there, say hello to mom for me
