Текст и перевод песни Roberto Murolo - Serenatella a 'na cumpagna 'e scola

Serenatella a 'na cumpagna 'e scola

Serenatella a na cumpagna ′e scola
Ca se chiammava...'o nomme no, nun mm′o ricordo
Tropp'anne só' passate, ′o tiempo vola
E mo só tante ca mme stanco ′e ccuntá!

Ma, comme fosse ajere, a me mme pare d'a vedé
O stesso banco, proprio a fianco a me
Serenatella a na cumpagna ′e scola
Ca si 'a guardavo, giá tremmavo, comm′ a che!

Vita, vita sbagliata!
Ch'aggiu perduto
Ch′aggiu lassato
Ma che ce penzo a fá?
Va' trova, mo, addó sta
Chella felicitá
Ca mme puteva accumpagná!

Cchiù tiempo passa e cchiù mme vène a mente
E, cchiù 'e na vota, sento ′a voce ca mme dice:
"Comm′è che allora nun capiste niente?!
Io te vulevo tantu bene, cride a me!"
"E i' pure - lle rispongo - te vulevo bene a te
Pecché nun ce capèttemo, pecché?!"

Cchiù tiempo passa e cchiù mme vène a mente
Ma ′o nomme... niente, nun mm'o pòzzo arricurdá!

Vita, vita sbagliata!
Ch′aggiu perduto
Ch'aggiu lassato
Ma che ce penzo a fá?
Va′ trova, mo, addó sta
Chella felicitá
Ca mme puteva accumpagná!

Serenatella a na cumpagna 'e scola
Ca mme ricordo, se chiammava giuventù

Serenade to a schoolmate

Serenade to a schoolmate
Whose name I don't remember anymore
So many years have passed, time flies
And now there are so many of them that I get tired of counting!

But, as if it were yesterday, it seems to me I can see
The same bench, right next to me
Serenade to a schoolmate
That if I looked at her, I would already tremble, like that!

Life, life gone wrong!
That I have lost
That I have left
But what's the point of thinking about it?
Go, find now where it is
That happiness
That could have accompanied me!

The more time passes, the more it comes to mind
And, more than once, I hear the voice that tells me:
"How is it that back then you didn't understand anything?!
I loved you so much, believe me!"
"And I too," I say to her "I loved you too
Why didn't we realize it, why?!"

The more time passes, the more it comes to mind
But the name... no, I can't remember it!

Life, life gone wrong!
That I have lost
That I have left
But what's the point of thinking about it?
Go, find now where it is
That happiness
That could have accompanied me!

Serenade to a schoolmate
That I still remember, she was called youth
