Paroles et traduction Massimo Ranieri - Voce 'e notte

Voce 'e notte

Si 'sta voce te scéta 'int"a nuttata
Mentre t'astrigne 'o sposo tujo vicino
Statte scetata, si vuó' stá scetata
Ma fa' vedé ca duorme a suonno chino
Nun ghí vicino ê llastre pe' fá 'a spia
Pecché nun puó' sbagliá 'sta voce è 'a mia
E' 'a stessa voce 'e quanno tutt'e duje
Scurnuse, nce parlávamo cu 'o "vvuje"

Si 'sta voce te canta dint"o core
Chello ca nun te cerco e nun te dico
Tutt"o turmiento 'e nu luntano ammore
Tutt"o Lammore
'E nu turmientantido

Dille accussí
Chi canta 'int'a 'sta via
O sarrá pazzo o more 'e gelusia!
Starrá chiagnenno quacche 'nfamitá
Canta isso sulo... Ma che canta a fá?

Voice of the Night

If this voice wakes you in the middle of the night
While your husband holds you close
Stay awake, if you want to stay awake
But pretend to be sleeping soundly
Don't go near the window to spy
Because you can't mistake this voice, it's mine
It's the same voice from when we were both alone
And spoke to each other with the intimate "you"

If this voice sings to you in your heart
What I don't seek or tell you
All the torment of a distant love
All the Love
Of a tormenting love

Tell him this
The one who sings in this street
Is either mad or dying of jealousy!
He'll be crying about some wickedness
He's just singing to himself... But why is he singing?
