(Caterina)Translated into English by Veris Giannetti
You were my first love
How could I ever forget you,
The queen of my heart, Caterina,
With you I come alive
With you I die
Come on! Let me in.
Oh Caterina, help me understand
If you love me
Or think of me no more
Oh sweet lady
You just want to destroy me
Yet you are the most beautiful thing
There is.
Come down from there, please
I can’t take it anymore
I don’t understand, Caterina.
You won’t come to the window,
You won’t talk to me,
Oh how you make me suffer.
Oh Caterina, help me understand
Whether you love me
Or think of me no more
Oh sweet lady
You just want to destroy me
Yet you are the most beautiful thing
There is.
Oh, how my heart aches.
You’re destroying me,
Killing me without knowing.
Caterina! |

(The happy fisherman)Translated into English by Catherine Hurst-Hewett
Oh, what a life!
Hauling nets just to survive.
At the mercy of the sea
As I sweat for my daily bread.
But when I’m with you I feel like a king
And every morning I wake with a smile.
Even the sea sings along with me
When I sing out in happiness.
Because you’re so beautiful
And I cannot get enough of you.
At sea I sing for you
To you, “my only love”
I love you and you alone!
See what a life I’m forced to live!
Under the scorching sun.
I’m a fisherman,
My fate, I cannot change.
But you make me feel like a king
And every night I fall into peaceful slumber.
Even the sea sings along with me
When I sing out in happiness.
Because you’re so beautiful
And I cannot get enough of you.
At sea I sing for you
To you, “my only love”
I fell in love with you,
And you alone.
At sea I sing for you
Listen to me, darling
I love you and you alone! |

Comm’è scuro’o cielo
Comm’è futo 1’o mare
E chi pò capì
E chi pò durmì
Si ’stu core sta chiagnenno a tte
M’arricordo ll’aria
’Mbarzamata 2 ’e abbrile 3
si’ vulata via,
E nun mm’hê ditto addio
Dint’’o core so’ muorto pur’io
Da ’sta fenesta nun trase 4 ’o sole
Da quanno nun ce staje tu
E ’a nott’è trasuta 5 ’int’’o core
E ’o mare nunn’è cchiù bblu
E manco ’o viento
Dint’’o ciardino mme vasa cchiù
Si’ nun ce staje tu
Ogni notte i’ spero
’E te truvà vicino,
Ma tu nun ce staje
E nun turnarraje 6
Senza core i’campo grazie a Dio
Da ’sta fenesta nun trase ’o sole
Da quanno nun ce staje tu
E ’a nott’è trasuta ’int’’o core

Si nun cante tu

(The garden window)Translated into English by Catherine Hurst-Hewett
How dark is the sky,
How deep is the sea.
Yet who can understand?
Who can sleep?
If this heart is crying for you…
I remember the sweet smell
Of the April air
You left
Without a goodbye
And in my heart, I died with you.
The sun doesn’t shine through this window anymore
Now that you’ve gone
The dark of night has entered my heart
The sea is no longer blue
And the wind in the garden
Won’t kiss my face
If you’re not there with me.
Every night I live in hope
That you will come to me
But you’re not here,
and you’re never coming back.
And, but for the grace of God, my broken heart beats.
The sun doesn’t shine through this window anymore
Now that you’ve gone
The dark of night has entered my heart
The sea is no longer blue
And the wind in the garden
Won’t kiss my face
If you’re not there with me.
Even the goldfinch
Has stopped singing
Now that you sing no more. |

(The sea at Santa Lucia)Translated into English by Catherine Hurst-Hewett
Oh, how sweet the smell of the sea
On this night in May.
It takes me back to the sea at home,
Many years ago
When, casting my net,
I sang for you.
And the sun was enough for me
Together with a light breeze
To rock my little boat
Under this blue sky.
But those days are gone
And so have you.
Sea at Santa Lucia
I just can’t forget you.
You’re in my soul
Making me yearn.
Always the same old lies
I don’t want to hear.
I’d like to return
To Santa Lucia.
Oh, how sweet the smell of the sea
Tonight, that plays on our face like a kiss
It reminds me
Of my little home
On the seafront at Santa Lucia
My soul!
Sea at Santa Lucia
I just can’t forget you.
You’re in my soul
Making me yearn.
Always the same old lies
I don’t want to hear.
I’d like to return
To Santa Lucia.
Love of my life
You made me dream
You are in my soul
Who could forget you?
Always the same old lies
I don’t want to hear them again.
I’d like to return to Santa Lucia
With all my heart I long to return
to Santa Lucia. |

This coast from Coroglio to Mergellina
Is so beautiful,
The sea so calm,
It makes you want to sigh.
I long for you night and day,
I’m losing sleep over you,
But then I see you and I can rest
And want for nothing else.
If the moon rises
In the midst of the sea
We can sing out
To let the whole
World know
God cannot forget us.
What joy I feel in my heart
I’ve waited my whole life for you
You’re in my blood
You make me cry and sing.
And I sing for you
While the sun sets and the moon rises
You are my lucky star
How lucky I am to live here.
If the moon rises
In the midst of the sea
We can sing out
To let the whole
World know
God cannot forget us. |

(Joy and torment)Translated into English by Catherine Hurst-Hewett
Oh, how I love to sing in the moonlight,
Under this poetic sky
As sweet music drifts in from the sea,
Lighting up the night.
You should hear it.
I sing for Naples while she sleeps,
Under this sky, blown by this wind.
For this joy and torment
I always feel
Whenever I return.
How can you leave this sea behind?
This unforgettable sky
Where else would you find a sun like this?
Only here in Naples.
Oh, how I love to sing, guitar in hand
On the steps facing the sea,
In the light of the beguiling moon
As it appears and then fades,
And making us fall in love.
Yet these words cannot penetrate
Even the cruellest of hearts
But with this sun, this gulf and these people
We could put the troubles of the city behind us.
How can you leave this sea behind?
This unforgettable sky
Where else would you find a sun like this?
Only here in Naples.
Where else would you find a sea like this?
Only here in Naples
Here, under the Neapolitan sky
Only here in Naples
Here! |
