Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Palomma 'e notte

Palomma 'e notte

Tiene mente 'sta palomma
Comme ggira, comm'avota
Comme torna 'n'ata vota
'Sta ceroggena a ttentà

Palummè, chist'è 'nu lume
Nun è rosa o giesummino
E tu a fforza ccà vvicino
Te vuò mettere a vulà

Vattenne 'a lloco
Vattenne, pazzarella
Va', palummella, e torna
E torna a 'st'aria accussi' fresca e bella
'O bbi' ca i' pure
Mm'abbaglio chianu chiano
E ca mm'abbrucio 'a mano
Pe' te ne vulè caccià?

Caruli', pe' 'nu capriccio
Tu vuò fà scuntento a 'n'ato
E po', quanno ll'he lassato
Tu, addu n'ato, vuò vulà

Troppe core staje strignenno
Cu 'sti mmane piccerelle
Ma fernisce ca 'sti scelle
Pure tu te può abbrucià

Vattenne 'a lloco
Vattenne, pazzarella
Va', palummella, e torna
E torna a 'st'aria accussi' fresca e bella
'O bbi' ca i' pure
Mm'abbaglio chianu chiano
E ca mm'abbrucio 'a mano
Pe' te ne vulè caccià?

Torna, va', palomma 'e notte
Dint'a ll'ombra addò si nnata
Torna a 'st'aria 'mbarzamata
Ca te sape cunzulà

Dint' o scuro e pe' mme sulo
'Sta cannela arde e se struje
Ma c'ardesse a tutt' 'e dduje
Nun 'o ppozzo supportà

'O bbi' ca i' pure
Mm'abbaglio chianu chiano
E ca mm'abbrucio 'a mano
Pe' te ne vulè caccià?

Palomma 'e notte

This dove has a mind
How she turns, how she flies
How she comes back again
This kerosene lamp to try

Oh dove, this is a light
Not a rose or a jasmine
And you stubbornly close by
You want to take flight

Go away from there
Go away, you crazy one
Go, little dove, and come back
And come back to this air so fresh and beautiful
Oh my, I myself
Am slowly being dazzled
And I'm burning my hand
To get you away?

Darling, for a whim
You want to make someone unhappy
And then, when you've left them
You, to another one, want to fly

Too many hearts you are squeezing
With those little hands of yours
But pay attention, with these games
Even you can get burned

Go away from there
Go away, you crazy one
Go, little dove, and come back
And come back to this air so fresh and beautiful
Oh my, I myself
Am slowly being dazzled
And I'm burning my hand
To get you away?

Come back, go, oh dove of the night
Into the shadow where you were born
Come back to this perfumed air
That knows how to comfort you

In the dark and alone for me
This candle burns and melts
But if it burned all of us
I couldn't bear it

Oh my, I myself
Am slowly being dazzled
And I'm burning my hand
To get you away?
