Original lyrics
'O surdato 'nnamurato
Staje luntana da stu core,
a te volo cu 'o penziero:
niente voglio e niente spero
ca tenerte sempe a fianco a me!
Si' sicura 'e chist'ammore
comm'i' so' sicuro 'e te...
Oje vita, oje vita mia...
oje core 'e chistu core...
si' stata 'o primmo ammore...
e 'o primmo e ll'ùrdemo sarraje pe' me!
Quand 'a notte nun te veco,
nun te sento 'int'a sti bbracce,
nun te vaso chesta faccia,
nun t'astregno forte 'mbraccio a me?!
Ma, scetánnome 'a sti suonne,
mme faje chiagnere pe' te...
Oje vita....
Scrive sempe e sta' cuntenta:
io nun penzo che a te sola...
Nu penziero mme cunzola,
ca tu pienze sulamente a me...
'A cchiù bella 'e tutt''e bbelle,
nun è maje cchiù bella 'e te!
Oje vita....

Translation
A Soldier in Love
You're far away from this heart,
I fly to you with my thoughts:
not wanting or expecting anything
just to have you always at my side!'
Be as sure of this love
as I am of you...
Oh darling1, oh my darling...
Oh heart of my heart...
You were my first love...
and you'll be the first and last for me!
When I don't see you at night,
don't feel you in these arms,
don't kiss your face,
don't hold you in my arms!
But, when I wake up from these dreams,
it makes me cry for you...
Oh darling*, oh my darling...
Oh heart of my heart...
You were my first love...
and you'll be the first and last for me!
Write to me always, and be happy:
I don't think of anything but you...
A thought comforts me,
that you only think about me.
The most beautiful of the beautiful,
will never be lovelier than you!
Oh darling*, oh my darling...
Oh heart of my heart...
You were my first love...
and you'll be the first and last for me!
- 1. Literally "vita" means life.
