Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Era di maggio

Era di 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 fell down to you
As tufts, the red cherries
The air was fresh, and the whole garden
Smelled of roses a hundred steps away
It was May, no, I won't forget
We sang a song with two voices
The more time passes, the more I remember
The air was fresh and the song was sweet

And it said, "Heart, heart
My heart, you go far away
You leave me, I count the hours
Who knows when you'll be back?
I replied, "I'll be back
When the roses return
If this flower returns in May
I'll be here in May too
If this flower returns in May
I'll be here in May too."

And I came back and now, like once
We sing the old song together
Time passes and the world turns
But true love, no, it doesn't change
I fell in love with you, my beauty
If you remember, in front of the fountain
The water there never dries up
And the wound of love never heals

And I tell you, "Heart, heart
My heart, I'm back
May comes back and love comes back
Do with me what you want
May comes back and love comes back
Do with me what you want"
