Текст и перевод песни Sergio Bruni - A serenata 'e pulecenella

A serenata 'e pulecenella

E stò aspettanno cu 'stu mandulino
Ll'ora che, 'a cielo, se ne trase 'a luna
Mme sò nascosto dint'a 'nu ciardino
Pe' nun 'o ffà assapè
Ca sò semp'io ca cerco scusa a te

Te voglio tantu bbene
Te voglio tantu bbene
T' 'o ddico zittu, zittu
Zittu, zitto, ca, si allucco, 'a gente
Ca nun sape niente
Pò sentì: "te voglio bbene"

Mme metto scuorno 'e fà sapè a ll'amice
Ca tinco tinco torno e faccio pace
Si 'appura 'a gente, Napule che dice?
Ca mm' 'e vvoglio fà fà
Sott'a chist'uocchie cierti 'nfamità?!

Te voglio tantu bbene
Te voglio tantu bbene
T' 'o ddico zittu, zittu
Zittu, zitto, ca, si allucco, 'a gente
Ca nun sape niente
Pò sentì: "te voglio bbene"

'Na vota ero 'o cchiù guappo 'e ll'Arenella
Tenevo 'nnammurate a mille a mille
E mo mme faje chiammà Pulecenella
Ma tu ce pienze o no
Ch'ero 'nu guappo, guappo overo? E mo

Te voglio tantu bbene
Te voglio tantu bbene
T' 'o ddico zittu, zittu
Zittu, zitto, ca, si allucco, 'a gente
Ca nun sape niente
Pò sentì: "te voglio bbene"

The Serenade of Pulcinella

And I'm waiting here with this mandolin
For the hour when the moon rises in the sky
I've hidden myself in this garden
So you won't know
That it's me again, looking for an excuse to see you

I love you so much
I love you so much
I'm telling you softly, softly
Softly, softly, because if I speak up, the people
Who don't know anything
Might hear: "I love you"

I'm ashamed to let my friends know
That I keep coming back and making peace
If people find out, what will Naples say?
That I'm letting you
Do such wicked things to me with those eyes?!

I love you so much
I love you so much
I'm telling you softly, softly
Softly, softly, because if I speak up, the people
Who don't know anything
Might hear: "I love you"

I was once the most handsome man in Arenella
I had thousands and thousands of lovers
And now you make me act like Pulcinella
But do you even think, or not
That I was a handsome, truly handsome man? And now

I love you so much
I love you so much
I'm telling you softly, softly
Softly, softly, because if I speak up, the people
Who don't know anything
Might hear: "I love you"
