Low Window

Fenesta Vascia

Low window of a cruel mistressFenesta vascia 'e padrona crudele
How many sighs you've made me let out!Quanta suspire mm'haje fatto jettare!
This heart burns, like a candleMm'arde stu core, comm'a na cannela
Beautiful, when I hear you call my name!Bella, quanno te sento annommenare!
Today, take the lesson from the snow!Oje piglia la 'sperienza de la neve!
The snow? Cold and it gets eaten upLa neve? Fredda e se fa maniare
And you, why are you so harsh and cruel?!E tu comme si' tanta aspra e crudele?!
Dead I see myself and you won’t help me!?Muorto mme vide e nun mme vu? ' ajutare!?

I want to become a young manVorra addeventare no picciuotto
With a little jug to sell waterCo na langella a ghire vennenn'acqua
For me, huh? From these little palacesPe' mme nej? Da chisti palazzuotte
Beautiful women, oh! Who wants water?Belli ffemmene meje, ah! Chi v? ' acqua
A little girl spills it from up thereSe vota na nennella da ll? 'ncoppa
Who? This kid who goes selling water?Chi? 'sto ninno ca va vennenn'acqua?
And I respond, with careful wordsE io responno, co parole accorte
Yes, it's tears of love and not water!S? ' lacreme d'ammore e non? Acqua!
