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!
