LELLA (De Angelis)

Te la ricordi Lella, quella ricca
La moje de Proietti er cravattaro
Quello che cia' er negozio su ar Tritone?
Te la ricordi? Te l'ho fatta vede
Quattr'anni fa e nun volevi crede
Che 'nsieme a lei ce stavo proprio io
Te lo ricordi poi ch'era sparita
E che la ggente e che la polizia
S'era creduta ch'era annata via
Co' uno co' più sordi der marito?

E te lo vojo di' che so' stato io
So' quattr'anni che me tengo 'sto segreto
Te lo vojo di', ma nun lo fa sape'
Nun lo di' a nessuno, tiettelo pe' te

Je piaceva anna' ar mare quann'è inverno
Fa' l'amore cor freddo che faceva
Però le carze nun se le tojeva
A la fiumara 'ndo ce sta er baretto
Tra le reti e le barche abbandonate
Cor cielo griggio a facce su da tetto
'Na matina ch'era l'urtimo dell'anno
Me dice co' la faccia indifferente:
"Me so stufata nun ne famo gnente
E tireme su la lampo der vestito..."

E te lo vojo di' che so' stato io
So' quattr'anni che me tengo 'sto segreto
Te lo vojo di', ma nun lo fa sape'
Nun lo di' a nessuno, tiettelo pe' te

Tu nun ce crederai, nun cio' più visto
L'ho presa ar collo e nun me so' fermato
Che quann'è annata a tera senza fiato
Ner cielo da 'no squarcio er sole è uscito
E io la sotteravo co' 'ste mano
Attento a nun sporcamme sur vestito
Me ne so' annato senza guarda' indietro
Nun c'io' rimorsi e mo' ce torno pure
Ma nun ce penso a chi ce sta là sotto
Io ciaritorno solo a guardà er mare...

E te lo vojo di' che so' stato io
So' quattr'anni che me tengo 'sto segreto
Te lo vojo di', ma nun lo fa sape'
Nun lo di' a nessuno, tiettelo pe' te...

LELLA (De Angelis)

Do you remember Lella, that rich lady
Proietti's the tie-seller's wife
The man who has a shop on Tritone?
Do you remember? I showed her to you
Four years ago and you didn't want to believe
That together with her there was me
Do you remember then she had disappeared
And that the people and the police
Believed she had left
With someone with more money than her husband?

And I want to tell you it was me
I have kept this secret for four years
I want to tell you, but don't let anyone know
Don't tell anyone, keep it to yourself

She loved to go to the sea in winter
To make love in the cold
But she never took off her stockings
By the stream where there is the bar
Among the nets and the abandoned boats
Under the gray sky looking down from the roof
One morning, the last of the year
She told me with an indifferent face:
"I'm fed up, let's not do this anymore
And pull up my zipper..."

And I want to tell you it was me
I have kept this secret for four years
I want to tell you, but don't let anyone know
Don't tell anyone, keep it to yourself

You won't believe me, but I haven't seen her again
I took her by the neck and didn't stop
When she fell to the ground without breath
A ray of sunshine broke through a crack in the sky
And I buried her with my own hands
Being careful not to stain my clothes
I left without looking back
I have no remorse and now I go back there again
But I don't think about who's down there
I go back there just to look at the sea...

And I want to tell you it was me
I have kept this secret for four years
I want to tell you, but don't let anyone know
Don't tell anyone, keep it to yourself...
