Napoletano:

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!

I' te vurría vasá...
I' te vurría vasá...
ma 'o core nun mm''o ddice
'e te scetá...
'e te scetá!...
I' mme vurría addurmí...
I' mme vurría addurmí...
vicino ô sciato tujo,
n'ora pur'i'...
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...

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...

«Ah! Che bell'aria fresca...
Che profumo di malvarosa...
E tu stai dormendo
Su queste foglie di rosa
Il sole a poco a poco,
Spunta su questo giardino...
Il vento passa e bacia
Questo riccioletto sulla tua fronte!

Io vorrei baciarti

Io vorrei baciarti

Ma non mi regge il cuore

di svegliarti

di svegliarti

Io vorrei addormentarmi

Io vorrei addormentarmi

vicino al tuo respiro

un'ora anch'io

un'ora anch'io

Sento questo tuo cuore
Che sbatte come le onde
Mentre dormi, angelo mio
Chi sa chi stai sognando
La gelosia tormenta
Questo mio cuore malato
Sogni di me? Dimmelo!
Oppure sogni di un altro?

Français:

Ah! Quel bel air frais...

Quel parfum de primerose...

Et tu es en train de dormir,

Sur ces branches de rose!

Le soleil, peu à peu,

Coche sur ce jardin...

Le vent passe et embrasse

Cette petite boucle sur ton front!

Je voudrais t'embrasser...

Je voudrais t'embrasser...

Mais le cœur ne me dit pas

De te réveiller...

De te réveiller...!

Je voudrais m'endormir...

Je voudrais m'endormir...

Près de ton souffle,

Pour une heure moi aussi...

Pour une heure moi aussi...!

Je sens ton cœur,

Qui secoue comme les vagues!

En dormant, mon ange,

qui sait de qui tu rêves...

La jalousie tourmente

Mon cœur malade:

Tu rêves de moi?... Dit-moi!

Ou tu rêves d'un autre?

Je voudrais t'embrasser...

Je voudrais t'embrasser...

Mais le cœur ne me dit pas

De te réveiller...

De te réveiller...!

Je voudrais m'endormir...

Je voudrais m'endormir...

Près de ton souffle,

Pour une heure moi aussi...

Pour une heure moi aussi...!

English:

Ah! What a beautiful fresh air!

How smells the hollyhock!

And you are sleeping

On these petals of rose.

The sun slowly

Rises over this garden,

The wind ceases and caresses

The curl on your forehead.

I would like to kiss you,

I would like to kiss you,

But my heart don't let me

Wake you,

Wake you.

I would like to fall asleep,

I would like to fall asleep

Beside your breath

For one hour,

For one hour.

I feel your heart,

It beats like the waves.

You sleep, my angel,

Who knows, who is in your dream.

The jealousy torments

My diseased heart.

Do you dream about me? Tell me!

Or do you dream about another?

I would like to kiss you,

I would like to kiss you,

But my heart don't let me

Wake you,

Wake you

Napoletano:

Oje né', fa' priesto viene!
Nun mme fá spantecá
Ca pure 'a rezza vène
Ch'a mare stó' a mená

Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,/
Ajutame a tirá
Ca stu marenariello
Te vò' sempe abbracciá

Vicin'ô mare, facimmo 'ammore
A core a core, pe' nce spassá

Só' marenaro e tiro 'a rezza
Ma, p''allerezza, stóngo a murí

Vide ca sbatte ll'onna
Comm'a stu core ccá
De lacreme te 'nfonne
Ca 'o faje annammurá

Viene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
Nce avimm''a recrijá
Che scenne la serena
Io po' stóngo a cantá

Vicin'ô mare,

Oje né', io tiro 'a rezza
e tu statte a guardá
li pisce, p''a prijezza,
comme stanno a zumpá!

E vide, pure 'e stelle tu faje annammurá
ca stu marenariello,
tu faje suspirá

English:

Come on dear, hurry, come here!
Don't make wait and suffer
The fishing net is coming too
That i've cast

Stretch your thin arms
Help me to pull (the net)
That this young sailor
Always wants to hug you

We make love near the sea
Heart to heart, to have fun

I'm a sailor and i pull the net
But I feel like i'm almost dying of happiness

See, the lashing of the waves
Like the beat of this heart of mine
It washes you with tears
Because you make it fall in love (with you)

Come, on this shore
We'll have fun
Here comes the sunset (or the evening)
And I'm here singing


Hey dear, I pull the net
And you stay there and watch
How the fishes for joy
Are jumping

And look, you can make fall in love with you even the stars
This young sailor
You make sigh
