by Domenico Titomaglio (1901 - 1972), as Tito Manlio

Anema e core
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
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!
