Текст и перевод песни Alfio Antico - Amuri Anticu

Amuri Anticu

La strada lonca porta ricchi ricordi
La fine di la vita è sempri lu principii
Nun ti capita mai di disidirari cu nun c'è?
Chianciri e scurdarisi cu si nni va
Oh, ninfa ginirusa gingili mia

Stu tirrenu spissu esti lu me lettu
Mi fazzu lu cuscinu cu pietri e fraschi
Stidduzzi di lu cèlu, datimi luci
Ju cercu l'amata mia e nun la trovu
Ju cercu l'amata mia e nun la trovu

Vurria patiti li vaj di lu lini

Quannu pisanti mi sentu la testa
Ca paci nun trovu, né sirinità
Tagghiami di vina a vina
Amuri ca tra lu scuru si viri na luci
'Ncampagna iu camminu cu li me pinseri
Parlu che venti 'nsilenziu d'amuri

Vurria patiti li vaj di lu lini
Scippatu tuttu e stisu chianu chianu
Mintutu a moddu e mazziatu finu
A nzina ca nun'nna ristassi 'nfilu sanu
Poi addivintassi di tila e mussulinu
Fazzulettu ppi li to mani e visu

Ancient Love

The long road brings back rich memories
The end of life is always the beginning
Do you ever find yourself missing the things that are gone?
Mourning and forgetting those who have passed
Oh, my generous nymph

This land is often my bed
I make my pillow with stones and branches
Stars of the sky, give me light
I seek my beloved and cannot find her
I seek my beloved and cannot find her

I want to suffer the pains of linen

When I feel heavy in my head
Because I can't find peace or serenity
Cut me from vine to vine
Love that in the dark you see a light
In the countryside I walk with my thoughts
I speak silently like the wind of love

I want to suffer the pains of linen
Pulled all out and stretched out flat
Minced and beaten until fine
Until not a single thread remains
Then become linen and muslin
A handkerchief for your hands and face
