Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Io, 'na chitarra e 'a luna

Io, 'na chitarra e 'a luna

Vattenne, core mio, vattenne sulo
P' 'e vvie sulagne
Chisà, te cagne mo ca sì figliulo
Chisà, te cagne
E, già ca tu sì nato cantatore
Va' e canta si staje triste o 'e buonumore

Canta pe' tte
Canta pe' tte
E nun chiammà a nisciuna
Tu, 'na chitarra e 'a luna

E nun te fà venì 'a malincunia
P' 'e vvie ca sanno
Chi, pe' 'ngannà, veneva 'ncumpagnia
Cu' mme cantanno
E, si mme tremma 'ncopp' 'e ccorde 'a mano
Sieguete a cammenà, va' cchiù luntano

Canta pe' tte
Canta pe' tte
Senza penzà a nisciuna
Tu, 'na chitarra e 'a luna

E si truove a quaccuno e dice: "e comme
Tu sulo, e chella"
E si te dice 'e chella pure 'o nomme
Tu, scordatella
E si chistu quaccuno fosse 'ammore
Cagnate nomme e di': "state in errore

Canto pe' mme
Canto pe' mme
Nun voglio cchiù a nisciuna
Io, 'na chitarra e 'a luna"

Io, 'na chitarra e 'a luna

I, a Guitar and the Moon

She left, my heart, she left alone
Along those lonely roads
Who knows, maybe she'll change now that she's free
Who knows, maybe she'll change
And, since you were born a singer
Go and sing whether you're sad or in good spirits

Sing for yourself
Sing for yourself
And don't call for anyone
You, a guitar and the moon

And don't let melancholy get to you
Along those roads that know
Who, to deceive, used to come along
Singing with me
And, if my hand trembles on the strings
Keep walking, go further away

Sing for yourself
Sing for yourself
Without thinking of anyone
You, a guitar and the moon

And if you find someone and they say: "and how
You alone, and with her"
And if they even tell you her name
You, forget her
And if this someone were love
Change your name and say: "you are mistaken

I sing for myself
I sing for myself
I don't want anyone anymore
I, a guitar and the moon"

I, a guitar and the moon
