Paroles et traduction Sergio Bruni - Palomma 'E Notte

Palomma 'E Notte

Tiene mente ′sta palomma
Comme gira, comm'avota
Comme torna n′ata vota
Sta ceròggena a tentá!

Palummè' chist'è nu lume
Nun è rosa o giesummino
E tu, a forza, ccá vicino
Te vuó′ mettere a vulá!

Vatténn"a lloco!
Vatténne, pazzarella!
Va′, palummella e torna
E torna a st'aria
Accussí fresca e bella!

′O bbi' ca i′ pure
Mm'abbaglio chianu chiano
E che mm′abbrucio 'a mano
Pe' te ne vulé cacciá?

Carulí′, pe′ nu capriccio
Tu vuó' fá scuntento a n′ato
E po' quanno ll′hê lassato
Tu, addu n'ato vuó′ vulá

Troppi core staje strignenno
Cu sti mmane piccerelle
Ma fernisce ca sti scelle
Pure tu te puó' abbruciá!

Vatténn"a lloco!
Vatténne, pazzarella!
Va', palummella e torna
E torna a st′aria

Accussí fresca e bella!
′O bbi' ca i′ pure
Mm'abbaglio chianu chiano
E che mm′abbrucio 'a mano
Pe′ te ne vulé cacciá?

Palomma 'E Notte

These doves have minds of their own
How they spin, how they fly
How they return time and again
To tempt this little light!

Palomma, this is just a light
It's not a rose or a jasmine flower
And you, over and over
Want to fly here!

Go away from there!
Go away, little fool!
Go, little dove, and return
And return to this air
So fresh and beautiful!

And I, too
Am slowly going blind
And I'm burning my hand
Trying to get you away?

My darling, on a whim
You want to make another unhappy
And then when you've left him
You'll want to fly to another!

You're breaking too many hearts
With those little hands of yours
But finish what you've started
You might get burned yourself!

Go away from there!
Go away, little fool!
Go, little dove, and return
And return to this air

So fresh and beautiful!
And I, too
Am slowly going blind
And I'm burning my hand
Trying to get you away?
