Dicitencello Vuie

Tell Her

Dicitencello Vuie

Tell her to this companion of yoursDicitencello a 'sta cumpagna vosta
That I have lost sleep and imaginationCh'aggio perduto 'o suonno e 'a fantasia
Because I always think of her,Ca 'a penzo sempre,
Who is my whole life...Che é tutta 'a vita mia...
I would like to tell her,I' nce 'o vvulesse dicere,
But I don't know how to do it!Ma nun nce 'o ssaccio di!

I love her,A' voglio bbene,
I love her very much,A' voglio bbene assaie,
Tell her, you,Dicitencello, vuie
That I will never forget her!Ca nun m' 'a scordo maie!
It's a passionE''na passiona
Stronger than a chain,Cchiù forte 'e 'na catena,
That torments my soulCa me turmente ll'anema
And doesn't let me liveE nun me fa campá

ChorusRitornello

Tell her that she's a May rose,Dicitencello ch' è na rosa 'e maggio,
Much more beautiful than a sunny dayCh'è assaie cchiù bella 'e 'na jurnata 'e sole
Her voice, fresher than violetsD''a vocca soia, cchiù fresca d''e vviole
I would like to hearI' già vulesse sentere
That she's in love with me!Ch' è nnammurata 'e me!
A shining tear has fallen...'Na lacrema lucente v' è caduta...
Tell me a little what you think?Diciteme 'nu poco a che penzate?
With those sweet eyesCu' st'uocchie doce
You only look at me...Vuie sola me guardate...
Take off this mask,Levámmece 'sta maschera,
Let's tell the truth:Dicimmo 'a veritá:

I love you, I love you very muchTe voglio bbene, te voglio bbene assaie
You are this chainSi' ttu chesta catena
That never breaks!Ca nun se spezza maie!
Gentle sleep, my carnal sighSuonno gentile, Suspiro mio carnale
I search for you like airTe cerco comm'all'aria
I want you to live!Te voglio pe'campá!
