Paroles et traduction Giusy Attanasio - Du soru

Du soru

Nica nica ricordu ca io mi sinteva Chiù sula
Era l'unica fimmina i casa vuleva na soru
Di parari ogni tantu e sintirmi viri hai ragiuni
Picchi fimmini nzemi u Sapimu su nama capiri

Capitau pi casu na vota ca vinni a cantari
A Catania nda festa cu tia poi mi canuscii
Mi trasisti ndo cori e lu sai Comu ti vogghiu beni
Tutti i misi ti vegniu a truvari pi starini nzemi

Comu a du soru su non ni viremu stamu mali
Comu a du soru pari ca sancontrunu i pinseri
Picchì cu tia è na cosa ca parti do cori
Ivana o saj sta canzon è dedicata a tia

Comu a du soru ti telefunu ogni gnionnu
E poi risati quannu pari u to dialettu
Io tarispunnu ca non ti capisciu bona
E poi accummenciu e paru Chiù napulitana

E pi telefunu su ni sintemu e poi Capemu
Ca ce qualcosa ca sta turmintannu i sentimenti
Priparu i cosi e partu Comu fussi nentii
Picchì a na soru non si pò lassari sula

A Catania pi mia e nauttra Napoli
Su ci si tu
Ca mi tratti Comu ha regina a mia e mi maritu
Pi me figghia si Comu na zia
Pi mia si speciali
È naffettu ca nenti a stu munnu putissi canciari

Comu a du soru su non ni viremu stamu mali
Comu a du soru pari ca sancontrunu i pinseri
Picchì cu tia è na cosa ca parti do cori
Ivana o saj sta canzon è dedicata a tia

Comu a du Soru ti telefunu ogni gnionnu
E poi risati quannu pari u to dialettu
Io tarispunnu ca non ti capisciu bona
E poi accummenciu e paru Chiù napulitana

E pi telefunu su ni sintemu e poi Capemu
Ca ce qualcosa ca sta turmintannu i sentimenti
Priparu i cosi e partu Comu fussi nentii
Picchì a na soru non si pò lassari sula

Aggiu cantat comm parl tu sora mia
Chill dialett bell comm o mij
Ma che vot nun capisc
E laggiu vulut fa proprio p t fa capì ancora Chiù quant si important
T voglio ben
T voglio ben Ivana mia

Like a sister

I don't know why I felt alone
I was the only girl in the family and I wanted a sister
To talk to sometimes and have someone that understands why at times
Because us women together can understand ourselves better

It happened by chance one time that I went to sing
At a party in Catania where I met you and got to know you
You entered my heart and you know how much I love you
Every month I come to see you to be together

Like sisters, we feel bad when we don't see each other
Like sisters, it seems like our thoughts meet
Because with you it's something that comes from the heart
Ivana, you know this song is dedicated to you

Like sisters, I call you every day
And then I laugh when I hear your dialect
I pretend that I don't understand you
And then I start to speak more Neapolitan

And on the phone we understand each other and then we hear
That there's something that's bothering us
I prepare my things and leave as if it were nothing
Because a sister can't be left alone

For me, Catania is another Naples
You're there
You treat me like a queen and my husband
You're like an aunt to my daughter
You're special to me
It's an affection that nothing in this world could change

Like sisters, we feel bad when we don't see each other
Like sisters, it seems like our thoughts meet
Because with you it's something that comes from the heart
Ivana, you know this song is dedicated to you

Like sisters, I call you every day
And then I laugh when I hear your dialect
I pretend that I don't understand you
And then I start to speak more Neapolitan

And on the phone we understand each other and then we hear
That there's something that's bothering us
I prepare my things and leave as if it were nothing
Because a sister can't be left alone

I sang how you speak, my sister
That dialect, as beautiful as mine
But at times I don't understand
And I wanted to do it just to make you understand how much more important
I love you
I love you, my Ivana
