Paroles et traduction Sergio Bruni - Reginella

Reginella

Te si' fatta na vesta scullata
Nu cappiello cu 'e nastre e cu 'e rrose
Stive 'mmiez'a tre o quatto sciantose
E parlave francese... è accussí?
Fuje ll'autriere ca t'aggio 'ncuntrata
Fuje ll'autriere a Tuleto, 'gnorsí

T'aggio vuluto bene a te!
Tu mm' e vuluto bene a me!
Mo nun ce amammo cchiù
Ma è vvote tu
Distrattamente
Pienze a me!

Reginè, quanno stive cu mico
Nun magnave ca pane e cerase
Nuje campávamo 'e vase, e che vase!
Tu cantave e chiagnive pe' me!
E 'o cardillo cantava cu tico
"Reginella 'o vò' bene a stu rre!"

T'aggio vuluto bene a te!
Tu mm' e vuluto bene a me!
Mo nun ce amammo cchiù
Ma e vvote tu, distrattamente parle e me!

Oje cardillo, a chi aspiette stasera?
Nun 'o vvide? aggio aperta 'a cajóla!
Reginella è vulata? e tu vola!
Vola e canta... Nun chiagnere ccá
T'hè 'a truvá na padrona sincera
Ch'è cchiù degna 'e sentirte 'e cantá
T'aggio vuluto bene a te!
Tu mm' e vuluto bene a me!
Mo nun ce amammo cchiù
Ma e vvote tu, distrattamente chiamm' a me!

Little Queen (Reginella)

You made yourself a low-cut dress
A hat with ribbons and roses
You were among three or four show-offs
And you were speaking French... is that right?
It was the other day that I met you
It was the other day in Toledo, yes indeed

I loved you!
You loved me!
Now we don't love each other anymore
But sometimes you
Absentmindedly
Think of me!

Little Queen, when you were with me
We ate nothing but bread and cherries
We lived on kisses, and what kisses!
You sang and cried for me!
And the goldfinch sang with me
"Little Queen loves this king!"

I loved you!
You loved me!
Now we don't love each other anymore
But sometimes you, absentmindedly, speak of me!

Oh goldfinch, who are you waiting for tonight?
Don't you see it? I've opened the cage!
Has Little Queen flown away? Then you fly too!
Fly and sing... Don't cry here
You have to find a sincere mistress
Who is more worthy of hearing you sing
I loved you!
You loved me!
Now we don't love each other anymore
But sometimes you, absentmindedly, call for me!
