Paroles et traduction Giuseppe di Stefano - Fenesta ca lucive

Fenesta ca lucive

Fenesta ca lucive e mo' nun luce
Sign'è ca nenna mia stace ammalata
S'affaccia la sorella e me lo dice
Nennella toja è morta e sotterrata

Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola
Mo' duorme co' li muorte accompagnata

Mo' duorme co' li muorte accompagnata

Va nella chiesa e scuopre lu tavuto
Vide nennella toja comm'è turnata
Da chella vocca che n'ascéano sciure
Mo' n'esceno li vierme, oh che pietate

Zi' parrucchiane mio, àbbice cura
'Na lampa sempe tiénece allummata

Mo' duorme co' li muorte accompagnata

Fenesta ca lucive

Window that lit and now does not
It is a sign that my love is sick
Her sister looks out and tells me
Your Nennella is dead and buried

She always cried that she slept alone
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead

Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead

Go to church and uncover the coffin
See how your Nennella has turned
From that mouth from which flowers grew
Now worms come out, oh what pity

My dear parishioner, take care
Keep a lamp always lit

Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead
