Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Strada 'Nfosa by Domenico Modugno from Italian to English.
Mme dice, 'Nun si' fatto pe' mme'
Mme says, 'Not made for' mme'
E t'annascunne 'a faccia
And she'll throw you in your face
'Sta lacrema lucente che vo'?
'This shiny tear that I want'?
'Mmiez'a 'na strada 'nfosa
'Mmiez'a 'na 'nfosa road
Ce simmo ditte addio
We said goodbye
Sola, pe' 'n'ata via
Alone, I'm leaving
Te veco partì
The old man left
'Mmiez'a 'na strada 'nfosa
'Mmiez'a 'na 'nfosa road
Chiagnenno, mm'he vasato
Chiagnenno, mm'i potted
E io, ca mme ne moro
And I'm dying
Te lasso partì
I leave you and left
Tu vuò restà, ma te ne vaje?
You want to stay, but are you leaving?
Te voglio bene e dico, 'Va''?
I love you and say, 'Go'?
'Mmiez'a 'na strada 'nfosa
'Mmiez'a 'na 'nfosa road
Sulo, comm'a 'na vota
Sulo, comm'a 'na vote
Sulo, cu 'stu destino
Sulo, cu 'this destiny
Ca mo' vo' accussì
Now I want to know
Pecché mm'he ditto addio
Because I said goodbye
'Na vota ire felice
'Na vote ire happy
E mo' nun ce capimmo cchiù
And now we didn't understand anymore
'Mmiez'a 'na strada 'nfosa
'Mmiez'a 'na 'nfosa road
Sulo, comm'a 'na vota
Sulo, comm'a 'na vote
Sulo, cu 'stu destino
Sulo, cu 'this destiny
Ca mo' vo' accussì
Now I want to know
