Luna rossa - Massimo Ranieri перевод на английский

Luna rossa

Vaco distrattamente abbandunato...
Ll′uocchie sott"o cappiello annascunnute,
Mane 'int"a sacca e bávero aizato...
Vaco siscanno ê stelle ca só′ asciute...

Fischio...

E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te,
Io lle domando si aspiette a me,
E mme risponne: "Si ′o vvuó′ sapé,
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna..."
E i' chiammo ′o nomme pe' te vedé,
Ma, tutt"a gente ca parla ′e te,
Risponne: "E' tarde che vuó′ sapé?!
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna!..."

Luna rossa,
Chi mme sarrá sincera?
Luna rossa,
Se n'è ghiuta ll'ata sera
Senza mme vedé...

E io dico ancora ch′aspetta a me,
For"o barcone stanott′ê ttre,
E prega 'e Sante pe′ mme vedé...
Ma nun ce sta nisciuna...

Mille e cchiù appuntamente aggio tenuto...
Tante e cchiù sigarette aggio appicciato...
Tanta tazze 'e café mme só′ bevuto...
Mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato...

Fischio...

E 'a luna rossa mme parla ′e te,
Io lle domando si aspiette a me,
E mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé,
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna..."
E i′ chiammo ′o nomme pe' te vedé,
Ma, tutt"a gente ca parla ′e te,
Risponne: "E' tarde che vuó′ sapé?!
Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna!..."

Red Moon

I wander lost and alone...
My eyes hidden beneath my hat,
My hands in my pockets and my collar raised...
I wander, looking up at the stars that have come out...

I whistle...

And the red moon speaks to me of you,
I ask her if she waits for me,
And she answers me: "If you want to know,
There is no one here..."
And I call out your name to see you,
But all the people who talk about you,
Answer: "Why are you so late?!
There is no one here!..."

Red moon,
Who will be honest with me?
Red moon,
She left last night
Without seeing me...

And I still say she waits for me,
Outside the bar at midnight,
Praying to the saints to see me...
But there is no one there...

I've kept a thousand appointments and more...
I've lit one cigarette after another...
I've drunk so many cups of coffee...
I've kissed many bitter mouths...

I whistle...

And the red moon speaks to me of you,
I ask her if she waits for me,
And she answers me: "If you want to know,
There is no one here..."
And I call out your name to see you,
But all the people who talk about you,
Answer: "Why are you so late?!
There is no one here!..."
