Paroles et traduction Roberto Murolo - Zampugnaro 'nnammurato

Zampugnaro 'nnammurato

Nu bellu figliulillo zampugnaro
Che a Napule nun c'era stato ancora
Comme chiagneva, 'nnante a lu pagliaro
Quanno lassaje la 'nnammurata fora
E a mezanotte, 'ncopp'a nu traíno
Pe' Napule partette da Avellino

Ullèro, ullèro
Buono e sincero
Da lu paese, a Napule arrevato
Nce cammenava comm'a nu stunato

E succedette ca, na bella sera
Jette a suná a la casa 'e na signora
Tappéte, luce, pavimente a cera
Ricchezze maje nun viste anfin'a allora!
Ma se 'ncantaje, cchiù assaje de sti rricchezze
Pe' ll'uocchie d"a signora e de li ttrezze

Ullèro, ullèro
Fuje nu mistero
Quanno jette pe' vasá â signora 'e mmane
Zitto, sentette 'e dí, viene dimane!

Cielo, e comme fuje doce 'sta nuvena
Ca ll'attaccaje cu n'ata passione!
E se scurdaje 'e ll'ammore 'e Filumena
Ch'era fatecatora e bona bona
Ma ll'urdema jurnata ca turnaje
Chella signora, â casa, 'un ce 'a truvaje

Ullèro, ullèro
Sturduto overo
Avette ciento lire e 'sta 'mmasciata
Scurdatavella, chella è mmaretata

Lovestruck Zampogna Player

A handsome young zampogna player,
The likes of which Naples had never seen,
How he wept, before the manger,
When he left his sweetheart behind.
And at midnight, on a train,
He departed for Naples from Avellino.

Ullèro, ullèro
Good and sincere
From his village, having arrived in Naples,
He walked around like a man in a daze.

And it happened that, one beautiful evening,
He went to play at the house of a lady.
Carpets, lights, waxed floors,
Riches he had never seen before!
But he was more enchanted, much more than by these riches,
By the lady's eyes and her tresses.

Ullèro, ullèro
It was a mystery
When he went to kiss the lady's hand,
Quietly, he heard her say, "Come tomorrow!"

Heavens, how sweet was this news,
That it ignited him with another passion!
And he forgot the love of Filomena,
Who was hardworking and good.
But the last day he returned,
That lady, at the house, he couldn't find her.

Ullèro, ullèro
Truly stunned
He received a hundred lire and this message:
Forget about her, she's married.
