Voce 'e notte

Japan 2003 Ivari Ilja - Piano Voce 'e Notte (Russo-De Curtis) 1903 Voice in the night Si 'sta voce te sceta int'a nuttata, Mentre t'astringe o sposo tuio vicino, Statte scetata, si vuo sta scetata, Ma fa vede ca duorme a suonno chino. If this voice wakes you in the night While the man at your side is holding you Stay awake if you want to stay awake But pretend that you're fast asleep. ---- Nun gghi vicino'e llastre pe' ffa' spia, Pecche nun puo sbaglia: sta voce e'e mia E'a stessa voce e quanno tutt'e dduie Scurnuse, nce parlavamo c'o "vvuie". Don't go to the window to see who's there Because you can't mistake it that voice is mine The same voice as when we both Were strangers, both so formal. ---- Si 'sta voce, che chiagn'int' `a nuttata Te sceta'o sposo, nun ave paura, Vide ch'e senza nomme'a sserenata Dille ca dorme e ca se rassicura If this voice crying into the night Wakes your man, don't be afraid Because there are no names in my serenade Tell him to sleep, that everything's all right. ----- Dille accussi: "Chi canta inta sta via O sarra pazzo o more'e ggelusia Starra chiagneno quacce `nfamita Canta isso sulo. Ma che canta a ffa?" Tell him: "Whoever is singing down in the street Is either crazy or dying of jealousy He's probably crying over some betrayal, He sings alone. But what's he singing for?"
