Paroles et traduction Teresa De Sio - Suonno

Suonno

Già se stutano 'e lluci
Scure se fanno 'e vie
Suonno, vieni pe c' aiutà
Pigliace a mano

Trase trase, sicuro
Nui t'aspettammo già
A chi l'uocchie nun po' nzerà
Stalle vicino tu

E a fatica d'o munno
Tu facce scurdà
Chesta varca a dimane
Tu falla arrivà
Fai carè
N'ombra doce pe nun verè

Chi nun tene chiù voce
Manco pe' te chiammà
Suonno, vienilo a cunsiglià
Piglialo doce

Puortate ogni paura
Nun le cuntà bugie
Chi nun tene 'na cumpagnia
Stalle vicino tu
N' copp' 'e facce da gente
Te viene a pusà
Comm'a tante criature
Tu falle turnà
Fa carè
St'ombra doce pe' nun verè

Sleep

As the lights dim down
The streets grow dark
Sleep, come to my aid
Take me by the hand

Come, come, surely
We await you
He who cannot close his eyes
Stay close to him

And all the world's toil
You make me forget
This boat at dawn
You make it reach its destination
You make it land
A sweet shadow to help us avoid

He who has no voice left
Not even to call you
Sleep, come and counsel him
Hold him gently

Carry away every fear
Don't tell him lies
He who has no companion
Stay close to him
On people's faces
Come and rest
Like so many creatures
You make them return
You make them land
This sweet shadow to help us avoid
