Paroles et traduction Renato Carosone - Nu quarto 'e luna

Nu quarto 'e luna

Cielo, e che nuvole stasera
Pare ca 'o munno se nne more
Ma 'na speranza pe' stu core
Nun po' muri'

Nun ce vo' 'na luna chiena
Pe' capi' si me vuo' bene
M'è abbastato 'o ppoco 'e luna
Pe' tte capi'

Che m'ha saputo fa nu quarto 'e luna
Che m'ha saputo fa' chi voglio bene
E me turmenta sempe nu pensiero
Nunn'è 'o vero ca pienze sulo a me

Comme so' triste 'e note 'e sta canzone
E comm'è amaro 'o bbene 'e chi vuo' bbene
Nun me guarda', si chiagno, nun guarda'
Che m'ha saputo fa' 'nu quarto 'e luna!

Comme so' triste 'e note 'e sta canzone
E comm'è amaro 'o bbene 'e chi vuo' bbene
Nun me guarda', si chiagno, nun guarda'
Che m'ha saputo fa' 'nu quarto 'e luna!

Under a Crescent Moon

My, oh my, what clouds tonight
It seems like the world is dying
But there's still a flicker of hope in this heart
That just won't die

I don't need a full moon
To know if you love me
A mere sliver of moonlight
Will do just fine

To make this crescent moon enough
To let me know who I love
And yet a nagging thought torments me
That you don't think of me alone

How sad are the nights of this song
And how bitter is the love of one I love
Don't look at me if I cry, don't look
For a mere sliver of moonlight made me do it!

How sad are the nights of this song
And how bitter is the love of one I love
Don't look at me if I cry, don't look
For a mere sliver of moonlight made me do it!
