lyrics

Luna Nova

Canzone marinaresca (1887)

S. DI GIACOMO - M.P. COSTA

La luna nova ’ncopp’a lu mare

stenne ’na fascia d’argiento fino;

dint’a la varca ’nu marenare

quase s’addorme c’’a rezza ’nzino…

Nun durmi’, scètete, oje marena’,

votta ’sta rezza, penza a vuca’!

[coro] Nun durmi’, scètate, oje marena’,

votta ’sta rezza, penza a vuca’!

Dorme e suspira ’stu marenare,

se sta sunnanno la ’nnammurata…

Zitto e cuieto se sta lu mare,

pure la luna se nc’è ’ncantata…

Luna d’argiento, lass’’o sunna’,

vaselo ’nfronte nun ’o sceta’…

[coro] Luna d’argiento, lass’’o sunna’,

vaselo ’nfronte, nun ’o sceta’…

Comme a ’stu suonno de marenare

tu duorme, Napule, viata a te!…

Duorme, ma, ’nzuonno, lacreme amare

tu chiagne, Napule!… Scètete, scè’!…

Puozze ’na vota resuscita’!…

Scètete, scètete, Napule, Na!…

[coro] Puozze ’na vota resuscita’!…

Scètete, scètete, Napule, Na!…

New Moon

The new moon o’er the sea

spreads a band of fine silver,

a fisherman rests in his boat,

almost asleep, his net at his breast.

Don’t sleep, awaken, O sailor,

Set the nets and row!

[chorus] don’t sleep, awaken o sailor,

Set the nets and row!

He sleeps and sighs

and dreams of his love…

the sea is calm and quiet,

even the moon is bewitched…

Silver moon, let him dream on,

kiss his brow, do not awaken him…

[chorus] Silver moon, let him dream on,

kiss his brow, do not awaken him…

Like this sailor’s sleep

Naples, you sleep, woe unto thee!…

You sleep, O Naples, but in your slumber you

weep,

bitter tears, Naples, awake!

May you awaken!…

Awake, awake Napoli Na’!…

[chorus] May you just once awaken!…

Awake, awake, Naples, Na’!…
