Tell Ye her
Massimo:
Tell ye to that companion of yours
That I have lost my sleep and my fantasy,
I love her
That she is my whole life.
I would like to tell her,
But I'm unable to tell her.
[Chorus:]
I love her,
I love her a lot.
Tell ye her
That I('ll) never forget her.
It's a passion
Stronger than a chain,
That torments my soul
And doesn't let me live.
Noa:
I hear a melody without words
because your words drown out the pounding of my heart
one look of your eyes cause my strings to quiver
and my soul knows, your face is not turned to me
tell me why, tell me until when
your sad face and my quivering hands
tell me, come, hold me close
tell me that i... i'm the one.
Massimo:
A shiny tear has fallen from you,
Tell me: what are ye thinking about?
With these sweet eyes,
Only ye are looking at me.
Let's take this mask off,
Let's tell the truth.
Massimo & Noa:
I love you,
>Tell me why
I love you a lot.
>Tell me until when
You are this chain
>Your sad face
That never breaks.
>and my hands that quiver
Gentle dream,
>Tell me, come
Carnal sigh of mine,
>Hold me close
I seek you like air,
I want you so I can live.

Thank you/Grazie to [@MickG] for his assistance in translating the Neapolitan verses to English!
Note that most of the song refers to the addressee in the plural as a polite form (voi, vous in French, Sie in German, normally in Italian it's lei nowadays but it used to be voi), but the last section shifts to the singular.
