Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Anema E Core by Andrea Bocelli from Italian to English.
Nule ca predimmo 'a pace e 'o suono
We never talked about peace and sound
Non ce dicemmo maje pecche?
We never told each other why
Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno
Mouths that don't want to speak
Nun so' sti vocche oje ne'
I don't know these mouths today
Pure, te chiammo e nun rispunne
Even if I call you and you don't answer
Pe' fa dispetto a me
Just to spite me
Tenimmoce accusi anima e core
We hold on like this, soul and heart
Nun ce lassammo cchiu, manco pe' n'ora
We don't leave each other, not even for an hour
Stu desiderio 'e te me fa paura
This desire for you scares me
Campà cu te, sempre cu te, pe' nun muri
Living with you, always with you, to not die
Che ce dicimmo a fa' parole amare
What do we say to make bitter words?
Si 'o bene po campa cu nu respiro?
Can love survive with just one breath?
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore
If you also yearn for this love
Tenimmoce accussì anema e core
We hold on like this, soul and heart
Forse sarrà ca 'o chianto è doce
Maybe it's that crying is sweet
Forse sarrà ca bene fa
Maybe it's that love hurts
Quanno mme sento cchiù felice
When I feel happiest
Nun è felicità
It's not happiness
Specie si è vvote tu mme dice
Especially when you sometimes tell me
Distratta, 'a verità
Distracted, the truth
Stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura
This desire for you scares me
Campà cu te, sempre cu te, pe' nun murì
Living with you, always with you, to not die
Che ce dicimmo a fa parole amare
What do we say to make bitter words?
Si 'o bbene po' campà cu nu respiro?
Can love survive with just one breath?
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore
If you also yearn for this love
Tenimmoce accussì anema e core
We hold on like this, soul and heart
Tenimmoce accussì anema e core
We hold on like this, soul and heart
