Canzone Amalfitana
Só' mure janche da 'o sole pittate,
feneste verde, luggette fiurite,
cunvente appise, viarelle scavate
ca, dint'a ll'acqua, se stanno a specchiá
Carulí', carulí'
guarda, guá', vide, vi'!
Parla d''e viente 'a rosa amalfitana
e ll'aria addora tanto...ca te stona;
mentre, p''o cielo, 'o suono 'e na campana
se stenne 'ncopp''a stesa 'e na canzone...
Carulí', Carulí',
jammo, ja', dimme sí!
E s'è dinchiuta 'e smeralde na grotta,
na varca...po', na pittura scarlatta,
na roccia penza ch'a mare se vótta;
stanno, 'e tterrazze 'e limone, a gialliá
Carulí', Carulí',
statte, sta', zitta, zi'...
Passa na varca a vela amalfitana,
ll'ora 'e mill'anne na campana sona,
mentre, 'e lampare d'oro, na cullana
se stenne sott''a stesa 'e na canzone...
Carulí', Carulí',
stu ssunná' fa svení...
'Ncopp'a stu duomo, 'nnanze a 'sta marina,
stammo a vedé che fa...che vò' 'sta luna!
Amalfian song
There are walls panted white by the sun
green windows, flowery balconies
hanging monateries, hand dug alleyways
that are mirrored in the water
Caroline, Caroline
look here, look, see this, see!
The talk of the winds about Amalfi’s rose
and the air full of aroma...that stuns you;
while there’s a bell’s sound in the sky
working on the composition of a song
Caroline, Caroline
come on, come, say yes to me!
As if it were an emerald filled cave,
a boat, then, a scarlet picture,
a rock thinking of diving in the sea,
they are, the lemon-filled terraces, ready to turn yellow!
Caroline, Caroline
are you, are, be quiet, be!
A sailing boat of Amalfi passes by
at the time of the millennium a bell is sounding,
while, the golden lamps, in a row
working on the composition of a song
Caroline, Caroline
this dream is going to fade!
In this cathedral, if front of this port,
let us see what to do...what this moon wants!
