Dicitencello vuie

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG SPA

Dicitencello a 'sta cumpagna vosta
C'aggio perduto 'o suonno e 'a fantasia,
C' 'a penzo sempe,
Ch'è tutt' 'a vita mia!
I' nce 'o vvulesse dicere,
Ma nun nce 'o ssaccio dì.

'A voglio bbene,
'A voglio bbene assaje!
Dicitencello vuje
Ca nun mm' 'a scordo maje!
È 'na passione,
Cchiù forte 'e 'na catena,
Ca me turmenta ll'anema
E nun me fa campà!

'Na lacrema lucente v'è caduta,
Diciteme 'nu poco a che penzate?
Cu 'st'uocchie doce
Vuje sola me guardate!
Levammoce 'sta maschera,
Dicimmo 'a verità!

Te voglio bbene,
Te voglio bbene assaje!
Sì tu chesta catena
Ca nun se spezza maje!
Suonno gentile,
Suspiro mio carnale,
Te cerco comm'a ll'aria,
Te voglio pe' campà!

Dígale usted

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)

Dígale a esa amiga suya
que he perdido el sueño y la fantasía,
que en ella pienso siempre,
que es toda mi vida.
Y hay algo que quiero decirle
pero no sé cómo hacerlo.
 
La quiero mucho,
La quiero muchísimo.
Dígale usted
que nunca la olvidaré
Es una pasión,
más fuerte que una cadena,
que me atormenta el alma
y no me deja vivir.
 
Una lágrima reluciente veo caer,
dígame algo... ¿en qué está pensando?
Con esos ojos dulces,
que sólo me miran a mí.
Quitémonos la máscara,
digamos la verdad.
 
Te quiero mucho,
Te quiero más que mucho.
Eres tú la cadena,
que nunca se romperá.
Sueño gentil,
anhelo de mi carne,
te busco como al aire,
te necesito para vivir.
