Текст и перевод песни Claudio Villa - Fenesta ca luciva

Fenesta ca luciva

Fenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce...
Sign'è ca nénna mia stace malata...
S'affaccia la surella e che me dice?
Nennélla toja è morta e s'è atterrata... Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata...

"Cara sorella mia, che me dicite?
Cara sorella mia che me contate?"
"Guarde 'ncielo si nun me credite.
Purzi' li stelle stanno appassiunate.
E' morta nenna vosta, ah, si chiagnite,
Ca quanto v'aggio ditto è beritate!"

"Jate a la Chiesia e la vedite pure,
Aprite lo tavuto e che trovate?
Da chella vocca ca n'ascéano sciure,
Mo n'esceno li vierme... Oh! che piatate!
Zi' parrocchiano mio, ábbece cura:
Na lampa sempe tienece allummata..."

Ah! nenna mia, si' morta, puvurella!
Chill'uocchie chiuse nun l'arape maje!
Ma ancora all'uocchie mieje tu para bella
Ca sempe t'aggio amata e mmo cchiu' assaje
Potesse a lo mmacaro mori' priesto
E m'atterrasse a lato a tte, nennella!

Addio fenesta, rèstate 'nzerrata
Ca nénna mia mo nun se po' affacciare...
Io cchiù nun passarraggio pe' 'sta strata:
Vaco a lo camposanto a passíare!
'Nzino a lo juorno ca la morte 'ngrata,
Mme face nénna mia ire a trovare!...

Fenesta ca luciva

Window that used to shine and now doesn't shine...
It means that my sweetheart is sick...
Her sister looks out and what does she say?
Your sweetheart is dead and has been buried... She always cried because she slept alone,
Now she sleeps accompanied by the dead...

"My dear sister, what are you telling me?
My dear sister, what are you talking about?"
"Look up at the sky if you don't believe me,
Even the stars are wilting!
Your sweetheart is dead, oh, if you cry,
Because what I have told you is true!"

"Go to the church and see for yourself,
Open the coffin and what will you find?
From that mouth that breathed flowers,
Now worms come out... Oh, what pity!
My parish priest, please take care:
Always keep a lamp lit..."

Ah! My darling, you are dead, poor thing!
Those closed eyes will never open again!
But you still look beautiful in my eyes,
Because I have always loved you and now even more
I could die of grief right now
And be buried next to you, my darling!

Farewell window, stay closed
Because my darling can't look out anymore...
I will no longer walk along this street:
I will go to the cemetery to walk!
Until the day when ungrateful death,
Makes me go and find my darling!...
