Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Raziella

Raziella

A core a core cu Raziella mia
Stava assettato a chillu pizzo llà
Lu patre asceva, e schitto nc'era 'a zia
Ma, zittu zitto, se potéa parlà
La zia filava e poco nce senteva
Ca, pe' lu suonno, la capa lle pennéa
Io la manella de nenna mia pigliava
Che non voléa, ma se facéa vasà

Essa cantava co chella bella voce
Lu mandolino io mme mettéa a sonà
Essa diceva, cantanno doce doce
Aniello mio, io sempe t'aggi' 'a amà
La zia filava e poco nce senteva e
Pe' lo suonno, la capa lle pennéa
Ma, si â 'ntrasatta essa maje se scetava
Lu locco, subbeto, io mme metteva a fà

Ma chillu tiempo comme priesto è passato
Darrìa lo sango pe' fárelo tornà
Tanno ero alliéro e mo só' sbenturato
Schitto d'arraggio, 'e chianto aggi' 'a campà
Raziella mia, Raziella mme 'ngannava
Mentre d'occhiate e squase mm'abbottava
Ahi, disperato tanto mme só' arredutto
Che o moro acciso o mm'aggi' 'a vennecà

Raziella

Heart to heart with my Raziella
We waited at that little peak
Her father was out, only her aunt was there
But we could whisper quietly
Her aunt was spinning and couldn't hear us much
As she dozed off, her head shaking
I reached out and took my girl's little hand
She pretended not to, but let me kiss her

She sang with her beautiful voice
And I played my mandolin
She sang so sweetly
My Aniello, I will always love you
Her aunt was spinning and couldn't hear us much
As she dozed off, her head shaking
But when she woke up in the middle of the song
I pretended frantically to be crazy

But that time passed so quickly
I would give anything to bring it back
Then I was happy, now I am miserable
I can only live in anger and tears
My Raziella, Raziella deceived me
While she flirted and nearly kissed me
Oh, I am so desperately upset
That I will either die or get revenge
