Текст и перевод песни Mario Lanza - Santa Lucia Luntana

Santa Lucia Luntana

Partono 'e bastimente
Pe' terre assaje luntane...
Cántano a buordo:
Só' Napulitane!
Cantano pe' tramente
'O golfo giá scumpare,
E 'a luna, 'a miez'ô mare,
Nu poco 'e Napule

Lle fa vedé...

Santa Lucia!

Luntano 'a te,
Quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
Se va a cercá furtuna...
Ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
Luntano 'a Napule
Nun se pò stá!

Santa Lucia, tu tiene
Sulo nu poco 'e mare...

Ma, cchiù luntana staje,
Cchiù bella pare...
E' 'o canto d"e Ssirene
Ca tesse ancora 'e rrezze!
Core nun vò' ricchezze:
Si è nato a Napule,
Ce vò' murí!

Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
Quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
Se va a cercá furtuna...
Ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
Luntano 'a Napule
Nun se pò stá!

Santa Lucia,
Luntano 'a te,
Quanta malincunia.

Santa Lucia Luntana

The ships are leaving
For far away lands...
They sing aboard:
Only Neapolitans!
They sing weepingly
The gulf is already disappearing,
And the moon, in the middle of the sea,
A little bit of Naples

Makes you see...

Santa Lucia!

Far from you,
How much melancholy!
The whole world turns,
To seek fortune...
But, when the moon rises,
Far from Naples
You can't be there!

Santa Lucia, you have
Only a little bit of sea...

But, the farther away you are,
The more beautiful you seem...
It's the song of the Sirens
That still weaves the nets!
Heart doesn't want riches:
If you were born in Naples,
You want to die there!

Santa Lucia!
Far from you,
How much melancholy!
The whole world turns,
To seek fortune...
But, when the moon rises,
Far from Naples
You can't be there!

Santa Lucia,
Far from you,
How much melancholy.
