Nuje ca perdimmo 'a pace e 'o suonno, nun ce dicimmo maje pecché? Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno, nun só' sti vvocche oje né'! Pure, te chiammo e nun rispunne pe' fa dispietto a me Tenímmoce accussí: anema e core nun ce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura Campá cu te, sempe cu te, pe' nun murí Che ce dicimmo a fá parole amare, si 'o bbene po' campá cu nu respiro? Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore, tenímmoce accussí anema e core! Forse sarrá ca 'o chianto è doce, forse sarrá ca bene fa Quanno mme sento cchiù felice, nun è felicitá Specie si ê vvote tu mme dice, distratta, 'a veritá Tenímmoce accussí anema e core! nun ce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura Campá cu te, sempe cu te, pe' nun murí Che ce dicimmo a fá parole amare, si 'o bbene po' campá cu nu respiro? Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore, tenímmoce accussí anema e core!
