Paroles et traduction Mario Lanza - Fenesta Che Lucive

Fenesta Che Lucive

Fenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce...
Sign'è ca nénna mia stace malata...
S'affaccia la surella e che me dice?
Nennélla toja è morta e s'è atterrata...
Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata...
Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata...

Ah! nenna mia, si' morta, puvurella!
Chill'uocchie chiuse nun l'arape maje!
Ma ancora all'uocchie mieje tu para bella
Ca sempe t'aggio amata e mmo cchiu' assaje
Potesse a lo mmacaro mori' priesto
E m'atterrasse a lato a tte, nennella

Fenesta Che Lucive

Window, that once lit up and now no longer does...
Sign that my mother is sick...
Her sister looks out and what does she say?
Your mother is dead and buried...
She used to cry because she slept alone,
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead...
She used to cry because she slept alone,
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead...

Ah! my mother, you're dead, my poor one!
Those closed eyes will never open again!
But to my eyes you still appear beautiful
Because I've always loved you and now even more
If only I could die soon
And be buried next to you, my mother
