Ti aspetto all'altare

Ma comm'è long'a nuttata pe chi dimane sposa.
Comme se rorme se 'o core cchiù forte siente 'e sbattere?
Stongo rint''o vico annascuso, priparo na sorpresa:
nfaccia 'o muro, cu quatto parole,
cu diece culure, aggio scritto pe tte:
 
"Amo', ti aspetto all'altare".
Appena arrivi 'a luntano te voglio vedé
cu quante lacrime ancora
tu nfunne ll'ultime passe venenno addu me.
Io e te vicino all'altare
liggimme 'e stesse parole giuranno 'e ce amá.
Saranno assaje pure lloro,
chi nun crereva a st'ammore e ce vene a guardá.
Mille telefoni accesi registrano 'a storia 'e st'ammore cu te,
e sta firma int''o libro d''a chiesa 'a dedico a te".
 
Mentre na musica sòna, t'affacce 'a stu balcone,
cantamme chella canzone, "Si' bella comm'è Napule".
Sta mmiezo 'e rrose na frase: "Tu si 'a cchiù bella sposa".
Nfaccia 'o muro, cu quatto parole,
sta scritto l'ammore ca je provo pe te:
 
"Amo', ti aspetto all'altare".
Appena arrivi 'a luntano te voglio vedé
cu quante lacrime ancora
tu nfunne ll'ultime passe venenno addu me.
Io e te vicino all'altare
liggimme 'e stesse parole giuranno 'e ce amá.
Saranno assaje pure lloro,
chi nun crereva a st'ammore e ce vene a guarda.
Mille telefoni accesi registrano 'a storia 'e st'ammore cu te,
e sta firma int''o libro d''a chiesa 'a dedico a te".
 
Nun ce crereva nisciuno,
eppure arint''a sta chiesa si asciuta cu mme.
Puortame ancora p''a mano,
si l'emozione me piglia, si cchiù forte 'e me.
 
Mille telefoni accesi registrano 'a storia 'e st'ammore cu te,
e stanotte 'o regalo ca je voglio è nu figlio cu te.
 
Ti amo!

I'll Wait for You at the Altar

The night is so long for who is getting married tomorrow.
How can you sleep when feel your heart beating harder?
I'm hidden in the alley, preparing a surprise:
on the wall, with nine words1
and ten colours, I've written for you:
 
"My love, I'll wait for you at the altar".
As soon as you you're arriving, I wanna look at you from a distance,
to see with how many tears
you make the last steps, while coming to me.
By the altar, you and me
read the same words and swear to love each other.
And those that didn't believe in this love, who are now coming to see us,
will be a lot, too.
Thousand phones switched on are recording this love story with you.
And I dedicate to you this signature on this church book.
 
While a music is playing, you go out on the balcony,
we sing that song, "Si' bella comm'è Napule".2
Among the roses is a sentence, "You are the most beautiful bride".
On the wall, with nine words,
I wrote about the love I feel for you:
 
"My love, I'll wait for you at the altar".
As soon as you you're arriving, I wanna look at you from a distance,
to see with how many tears
you make the last steps, while coming to me.
By the altar, you and me
read the same words and swear to love each other.
And those that didn't believe in this love, who are now coming to see us,
will be a lot, too.
Thousand phones switched on are recording this love story with you.
And I dedicate to you this signature on this church book.
 
No one believed it,
and yet you got out of this church with me.
Keep holding my hand,
if I get emotional, you are stronger than me.
 
Thousand phones switched on are recording this love story with you.
And this night, the gift I want is having a child with you.
 
I love you!
