lyrics
Scétate – Russo-Costa 1887
Si duorme o si nun duorme, bella mia,
siente pe’ ’nu mumento chesta voce!
Chi te vo’ bene assaje sta ’miez’ ’a via
pe’ te canta’ ’na canzuncella doce…
Ma staje durmenno, nun te si’ scetata,
’sti ffenestelle nun se vonno apri’?!
È ’nu ricamo ’sta mandulinata,
Scétate bella mia, nun chi. durmi’…
’N cielo se so’ arrucchiate ciento stelle,
tutte pe’ sta’ a senti’ chesta canzone.
Aggio ’ntiso ’e parla’ li tre chiu’ belle,
dicevano: “Nce tene passione!”
E’ passione ca nun passa maje,
passa lu munno, essa nun passarra`
Tu certo a chesto nun ce penzarraje,
ma tu nasciste pe’ m’affattura’!
È ’nu ricamo ’sta mandulinata,
Scétate bella mia, nun chi. durmi’…
Wake up
Whether you’re sleeping or not, my beauty,
hark for a moment to this voice!
The man who loves you is here in the street
to sing you a sweet melody…
Why, still asleep, haven’t you woken,
won’t these little windows open for me?
’Tis a pretty tribute this mandolin air,
wake up, my beauty, sleep no more …
A hundred stars are gathered on high
all to give ear to this ditty of mine.
And I heard the three most beautiful
saying “What passion there is in this song!”
This is passion that will never fade,
the world will pass, but not this passion.
You won’t be giving it a thought,
but you were born to bewitch me!
