Paroles et traduction Sal da Vinci - 'o Surdato 'Nnammurato

'o Surdato 'Nnammurato

Staje luntana da stu core,
A te volo cu 'o penziero:
Niente voglio e niente spero
Ca tenerte sempe a fianco a me!
Si' sicura 'e chist'ammore
Comm'i' so' sicuro 'e te...
Oje vita, oje vita mia
Oje core 'e chistu core
Si' stata 'o primmo ammore
E 'o primmo e ll'ùrdemo sarraje pe' me!
Quanta notte nun te veco,
Nun te sento 'int'a sti bbracce,
Nun te vaso chesta faccia,
Nun t'astregno forte 'mbraccio a me?!
Ma, scetánnome 'a sti suonne,
Mme faje chiagnere pe' te...
Oje vita, oje vita mia
Oje core 'e chistu core
Si' stata 'o primmo ammore
E 'o primmo e ll'ùrdemo sarraje pe' me!
Scrive sempe e sta' cuntenta:
Io nun penzo che a te sola
Nu penziero mme cunzola,
Ca tu pienze sulamente a me
'A cchiù bella 'e tutt"e bbelle,
Nun è maje cchiù bella 'e te!
Oje vita, oje vita mia
Oje core 'e chistu core
Si' stata 'o primmo ammore
E 'o primmo e ll'ùrdemo sarraje pe' me!

The Neapolitan Soldier in Love

You’re far away from my heart,
I fly to you with my thoughts:
I want nothing and hope for nothing,
Except to always have you at my side!
Be certain of this love,
As I am certain of you...
Oh, my life, oh, my life,
Oh, heart of my heart,
You were my first love,
And you will be my first and my last!
How many nights have I not seen you,
Not felt you in these arms,
Not kissed this face,
Not held you close in my embrace?!
But when I awaken from these dreams,
It makes me weep for you...
Oh, my life, oh, my life,
Oh, heart of my heart,
You were my first love,
And you will be my first and my last!
Write to me often and be happy:
I think of no one but you,
One thought comforts me,
That you think only of me,
The most beautiful of all beauties,
No one is more beautiful than you!
Oh, my life, oh, my life,
Oh, heart of my heart,
You were my first love,
And you will be my first and my last!
