Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Vierno

Vierno

È vierno: chiove, chiove 'a na semmana
E st'acqua assaje cchiù triste mme mantene
Che friddo, quanno è 'a sera, ca mme vène
Cu st'aria 'e neve, mo' ca manche tu
'Sta freva ca, manch'essa, mm'abbandona
'Sta freva, 'a cuollo, nun se leva cchiù!

Vierno! Che friddo 'int'a stu core
E sola tu ca lle puó dá calore
Te staje luntana e nun te faje vedé!
Te staje luntana e nun te cure 'e me!

Ca mamma appiccia 'o ffuoco tutte ssere
Dint'a 'sta cammarella fredda e amara?
"Ma che ll'appicce a fá, vecchia mia cara
S'io nun mme scarfo manco 'mbracci'a te?"
Povera vecchia mia, mme fa paura
È n'ombra ca se move attuorno a me!

Te staje luntana e nun te faje vedé!
Te staje luntana e nun te cure 'e me!

Winter

It's winter: it's been raining for a week
And this water keeps me even sadder
How cold it is when evening comes
With this snowy air, now that you're gone
This fever that won't leave me alone
This fever, on my neck, won't go away!

Winter! How cold in this heart
And only you can give it warmth
You are far away and won't show yourself
You are far away and don't care about me!

Why does my mother light the fire every evening
In this cold and bitter little room?
"But why light it, my dear old mother
If I don't even get warm in your arms?"
My poor old mother, she scares me
She's a shadow moving around me!

You are far away and won't show yourself
You are far away and don't care about me!
