Luna Caprese

Moon of Capri

Luna Caprese

Stars appeared at first eveningSò accumparute 'e stelle a primma sera
Swallowing all the light in the middle of the seaTutta tragara luce 'mmiezo 'o mare
A silver band under the moonlight'Na fascia argiento sotto e faragliune
And a mystery in this clear nightE nu'mistero int a 'sta notte chiara
Night of silence and I sing this songNotte 'e silenzio e io mo'chiesta canzone
Sung for those who have enchanted meCanta 'vulesse a chi m'ha affaturato

You, moon moon you, deceitful moonTu, luna luna tu, luna caprese
That makes lovers dream of loveCa faie sunna' l'amore 'e nnammurate
Lull my baby who is awakeAdduorme a nenna mia ca sta scetata
And make her fall in love at first sightE falla 'nnamura'pe na bucia
You, moon moon you, tricky moonTu, luna luna tu, luna buciarda
Make these pains of jealousy go awayFamme passa'sti pene 'e gelusia
And make my baby all mineE fa ca nena fosse tutta 'a mia,
You, moon moon you, moon of CapriTu, luna luna tu, luna caprese

And make my baby all mineE fa ca nenna fosse tutta 'a mia,
You, moon moon you, moon of CapriTu, luna luna tu, luna caprese

Listen to me singing this songOhie'cu me cantate 'sta canzone
You who suffer the pains of loveVuie ca sufrite 'e pene dell 'ammore,
Capri can sing with a wordCapri ve po' ncanta'cu na parola
