Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Dimme addo' staje

Dimme addo' staje

T'aspetto tutt"e sere ll'ore sane
E, tutt"e ssere, spero ca tu viene...
Ma è n'ombra ca s'accosta chianu chiano
'A notte scenne e tu mme staje vicino...
E sulo 'nzuonno sento 'a voce toja
Staje 'mbracci'a me, mentre chisà addó staje...
Dimme addó staje, dimme a chi pienze tu...
Stu core, 'o ssaje ca nun ragiona cchiù...
È n'anno, è n'anno... ch'aspetto a te
E sulo 'nzuonno veco a te, io veco a te...
Te dètte 'o core mio p'avé nu core
E tu mm'hê dato a me lacreme amare...
Nun te putevo dá brillante e oro
Comme vulive tu, pe' fá 'a signora...
Ma si stu core mio nun trova pace
Chest'oro, 'ncuoll'a te, nun tene luce...
È n'anno, è n'anno... ch'aspetto a te
E sulo 'nzuonno veco a te, io veco a te...

Where are you?

I wait for you every evening at the usual time
And, every evening, I hope you will come...
But it is a shadow that approaches slowly
The night falls and you are close to me...
And only in my dreams do I hear your voice
You are in my arms, while who knows where you really are...
Tell me where you are, tell me who you are thinking of...
My heart, you know it no longer reasons...
It has been a year, a year... that I have been waiting for you
And only in my dreams do I see you, I see you...
I gave you my heart to have a heart
And you gave me bitter tears...
I couldn't give you diamonds and gold
Like you wanted, to be a lady...
But if my heart finds no peace
This gold, around your neck, has no light...
It has been a year, a year... that I have been waiting for you
And only in my dreams do I see you, I see you...
