Rundinella - Massimo Ranieri traduction en anglais

Rundinella

Tutte ll′amice mieje sanno ca tuorne
Ca si' partuta e no ca mm′ha lassato
Só' giá tre ghiuorne
Nisciuno 'nfin′a mo s′è 'mmagginato
Ca tu, crisciuta ′ncopp"o core mio
Mm'ha ditto: addio!

Vulanno pe′ cittá nove e stramane
Tu no, nun puó sapé che te ne vène
Ogge o dimane
E si nun truove maje chi te vò' bene
Quanto te ne vogl′io
Ll'amice 'o ssanno
Che faje vulanno?

E torna rundinella
Torna a stu nido mo ch′è primmavera
I′ lasso 'a porta aperta quanno è ′a sera
Speranno 'e te truvá
Vicino a me

Torna! Ll′amice mieje sanno ca tuorne
Tutte se só' ′nfurmate e a tutte dico:
"Dint'a sti juorne!"
Uno sultanto, era 'o cchiù buono amico
Nun ll′aggio visto e nun c′è cchiù venuto
Fosse partuto?

E torna rundinella
Torna a stu nido mo ch'è primmavera
I′ lasso 'a porta aperta quanno è ′a sera
Speranno 'e te truvá
Vicino a me

E turna rundinella
Torna a stu nido mo ch′è primmavera
L'lasso 'a porta aperta quanno è ′a sera
Speranno ′e te truvà
Vicino a me

Swallow

All my friends know that you'll return
That you left and didn't abandon me
It's been only three days
No one has yet imagined
That you, raised in my heart
Said to me: goodbye!

Flying through new and foreign cities
You can't know what's coming to you
Today or tomorrow
And if you never find someone who loves you
How much I love you
My friends know that
What are you doing flying around?

And come back, swallow
Come back to this nest now that it's spring
I'll leave the door open when it's evening
Hoping to find you
Beside me

Come back! My friends know that you'll return
They've all asked about you, and I tell them all:
"Within these days!"
Only one, who was my best friend
I haven't seen him, and he hasn't come by
Could he have left?

And come back, swallow
Come back to this nest now that it's spring
I'll leave the door open when it's evening
Hoping to find you
Beside me

And come back, swallow
Come back to this nest now that it's spring
I'll leave the door open when it's evening
Hoping to find you
Beside me
