Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Era De Maggio

Era De Maggio

Era de maggio e te cadéano ′nzino
A schiocche a schiocche, li ccerase rosse
Fresca era ll'aria e tutto lu ciardino
Addurava de rose a ciento passe

Era de maggio, io no, nun mme ne scordo
Na canzone cantávamo a doje voce
Cchiù tiempo passa e cchiù mme n′arricordo
Fresca era ll'aria e la canzona doce
E diceva: "Core, core!"
Core mio, luntano vaje
Tu mme lasse, io conto ll'ore
Chisà quanno turnarraje!"

Rispunnev′io: "Turnarraggio
Quanno tornano li rrose
Si stu sciore torna a maggio
Pure a maggio io stóngo ccá
Si stu sciore torna a maggio
Pure a maggio io stóngo ccá"

E só′ turnato e mo, comm'a na vota
Cantammo ′nzieme la canzona antica
Passa lu tiempo e lu munno s'avota
Ma ′ammore vero no, nun vota vico
De te, bellezza mia, mme 'nnammuraje
Si t′arricuorde, 'nnanz'a la funtana
Ll′acqua, llá dinto, nun se sécca maje
E ferita d′ammore nun se sana

E te dico: "Core, core!"
Core mio, turnato io só'
Torna maggio e torna ′ammore
Fa' de me chello che vuó′!
Torna maggio e torna 'ammore
Fa′ de me chello che vuó'!"

It Was May

It was May and the cherries were falling
In clusters, the bright red cherries
The air was cool, the whole garden
Was fragrant with roses a hundred paces

It was May, I'll not forget it
We sang a song with two voices
The more time passes, the more I remember it
The air was cool, and the song was sweet
And it said: "Heart, heart!"
My heart, you're going far away
You're leaving me, I'm counting the hours
Who knows when you'll return!"

I answered: "I will return
When the roses bloom again
If this flower blooms in May
I'll still be here in May
If this flower blooms in May
I'll still be here in May

And I have returned, and now, like before
We sing the old song together
Time passes and the world turns
But true love, no, it doesn't change its path
I fell in love with you, my beauty
If you remember, by the fountain
The water inside it never dries up
And the wound of love never heals

And I tell you: "Heart, heart!"
My heart, I have returned
May has come again, and so has love
Do with me what you will!
May has come again, and so has love
Do with me what you will!"
