Paroles et traduction Tito Schipa - Lecce mia

Lecce mia

Luna ca' uàrdi, ìentu ca' sienti
Erba te campu stelle lucenti
Rose te màggiu ca' frische 'ndurati
Comu li àsi ca iddha m'à dati
'Nc'ete nnu core pacciu t' amore

Lecce gentile e beddha ògghiu cu cantu
Quiddhu ca me sta sentu intr'a lu core
Nnu paradisu 'nterra si' pe' mie
Tuttu me pare beddhu a'nturnu a tìe
Cantu nna beddha strìa ca' passa e tice:
"Rusciuli russi, ci òle rusciuli"
Oh Lecce t'amu tantu e su' felice

Lecce gentile e beddha ògghiu cu cantu
Quiddhu ca me sta sentu intr'a lu core
Nnu paradisu 'nterra si' pe' mie
Tuttu me pare beddhu a'nturnu a tìe
Cantu nna beddha strìa ca' passa e tice:
"Rusciuli russi, carusi rusciuli"
Oh Lecce t'amu tantu e su' felice

My Lecce

Oh moon that you stare at, oh wind that you feel
Grass, field and bright stars
Roses of May, so fresh and lasting
As are my kisses that she's given me
Because there is in my heart the crazy man's love

Oh my gentle and beautiful Lecce, today I sing
The sound that I have within my heart
On the earth, you are paradise to me
Everything around you seems beautiful to me
I sing from a beautiful street that goes and comes
"Watermelons, watermelons, who wants watermelons?"
Oh Lecce, I love you so much and I'm happy

Oh my gentle and beautiful Lecce, today I sing
The sound that I have within my heart
On the earth, you are paradise to me
Everything around you seems beautiful to me
I sing from a beautiful street that goes and comes
"Watermelons, watermelons, children watermelons"
Oh Lecce, I love you so much and I'm happy
