by Vincenzo Russo (1876 - 1904)

I' te vurría vasá
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
Ah! Che bell'aria fresca...
Ch'addore 'e malvarosa...
E tu durmenno staje, 
'ncopp'a sti ffronne 'e rosa!
'O sole, a poco a poco, 
pe' stu ciardino sponta...
'o viento passa e vasa
stu ricciulillo 'nfronte!
Chorus
  I' te vurría vasá...
  ma 'o core nun mm''o ddice
  'e te scetá!..
  I' mme vurría addurmí...
  vicino ô sciato tujo, 
  n'ora pur'i'!...

Tu duorme oje Rosa mia...
e duorme a suonno chino, 
mentr'io guardo, 'ncantato, 
stu musso curallino...
E chesti ccarne fresche, 
e chesti ttrezze nere, 
mme mettono, 'int''o core, 
mille male penziere!
  I' te vurría vasá... etc.

Sento stu core tujo
ca sbatte comm'a ll'onne!
Durmenno, angelo mio, 
chisà tu a chi te suonne...
'A gelusia turmenta
stu core mio malato:
Te suonne a me?...Dimméllo!
O pure suonne a n'ato?
  I' te vurría vasá... etc.
