Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Mmiez' 'O Grano

Mmiez' 'O Grano

E 'a sera, sotto e pásteno
De mméle annurche, passa
Stu core sempe gióvane
Ca ride e ch'arrepassa
E 'a luna, pazziánnose
Nu ramo e n'atu ramo
'Nterra, cu 'e file d'èvera
Ricama nu ricamo

Oje stella, sté', ch'aspiette nu signale
'O ggrano ammaturato è culor d'oro
E sti capille tuoje só' tale e quale
E 'o ssaje ca i' mme ne moro
Si 'mmiez'ô ggrano nun mme ffaje vasá

E tu nun duorme, è inutile
Stu core tujo mme sente
Quanno, pe' sott'a ll'albere
Passo annascostamente
E ghiésce fore pallida
Bella comm'a nisciuna
E 'a luna, zenniánnoce
Cufféa, 'sta 'mpésa 'e luna

Oje stella, sté', ch'aspiette nu signale
'O ggrano ammaturato è culor d'oro
E sti capille tuoje só' tale e quale
E 'o ssaje ca i' mme ne moro
Si 'mmiez'ô ggrano nun mme ffaje vasá

In the Midst of the Grain

It's evening, under the awning
Of my beloved annurche tree, there passes
This heart that remains forever young
That laughs and rejoices
And the moon, going crazy
From one branch to another
On the ground, with strands of ivy
Embroiders an embroidery

Hey star, wait, I'm waiting for a sign
The ripened grain is the color of gold
And your hair is just the same
And it knows that I'm dying
If you don't let me kiss you in the midst of the grain

And you won't sleep, it's useless
This heart of yours feels me
When, beneath the trees
I pass by secretly
And you come out pale
Beautiful like no other
And the moon, winking at us
Holds its breath, this weight of the moon

Hey star, wait, I'm waiting for a sign
The ripened grain is the color of gold
And your hair is just the same
And it knows that I'm dying
If you don't let me kiss you in the midst of the grain
