Tell Her

Dicitencello Vuje

Tell this companion of yoursDicitencello a 'sta cumpagna vosta
That I have lost sleep and fantasyCh'aggio perduto 'o suonno e 'a fantasia
That I always think, she's my whole lifeCha penzo sempe, ch'è tutta vita mia
I would like to tell herI' nce 'o vvulesse dicere
But I don't know how to say itMa nun ce 'o ssaccio dí

I love her'A voglio bene
I love her so much!'A voglio bene assaje!
Tell herDicitencello vuje
That I will never forget herCa nun mma scordo maje
It's a passionE' na passione
Stronger than a chainCchiù forte 'e na catena
That torments my soulCa mme turmenta ll'anema
And doesn't let me live!E nun mme fa campá!

Tell her she's a May roseDicitencello ch'è na rosa 'e maggio
Much more beautiful than a sunny dayCh'è assaje cchiù bella 'e na jurnata 'e sole
With her mouthDa 'a vocca soja
Fresher than violetsCchiù fresca de vviole
I already want to hearI' giá vulesse sèntere
That she's in love with me!Ch'è 'nnammurata 'e me!

I love her'A voglio bene

A shining tear has fallenNa lácrema lucente v'è caduta
Tell me a little: What are you thinking about?!Dicíteme nu poco: A che penzate?!
With those sweet eyesCu st'uocchie doce
You only look at meVuje sola mme guardate
Let's take off this maskLevámmoce 'sta maschera
Let's tell the truthDicimmo 'a veritá

I love youTe voglio bene
I love you so muchTe voglio bene assaje
You are this chainSi' tu chesta catena
That will never break!Ca nun se spezza maje!
Gentle sleepSuonno gentile
My carnal sighSuspiro mio carnale
I search for you like the airTe cerco comm'a ll'aria
I want you to live!Te voglio pe' campá!
