Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ninna Nera by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ninna nanna, ninna
Lullaby, lullaby
Questo figlio a chi lo do
Who do I give this son to?
Questo amore di una notte
This one night love
Questo figlio di mille botte
This son of a thousand beatings
Ninna nanna, ninna nera
Lullaby, black lullaby
Ninna nanna senza vela
Lullaby without sail
Senza vela e senza vento
Without sail and without wind
Per dormire conta fino a cento
To sleep, count to one hundred
Sogna e dormi per favore
Dream and sleep please
Sogna e dormi vieni e torni sogna e dormi per favore
Dream and sleep come and come back dream and sleep please
Sogna e dormi finché non viene il sole
Dream and sleep until the sun comes
Ninna nanna, ninna
Lullaby, lullaby
Questo bimbo che ne so
What do I know about this child?
Questo fiore di una sera
This flower of an evening
Questo fiore senza primavera
This flower without spring
Sogna e dormi per favore
Dream and sleep please
Sogna e dormi vieni e torni
Dream and sleep come and return
Sogna e dormi per favore
Dream and sleep please
Sogna e dormi per favore
Dream and sleep please
Ninna nanna, ninna nera
Lullaby, black lullaby
Ninna nanna senza vela
Lullaby without sail
Senza vela da spiegare
With no sail to unfurl
Ninna nanna in mezzo al mare
Lullaby in the middle of the sea
Ninna nanna, ninna nera
Lullaby, black lullaby
Ninna nanna senza vela
Lullaby without sail
Per vederla navigare
To see her sail
Ninna nanna da ricominciare
Lullaby to start again
Ninna nanna, ninna
Lullaby, lullaby
Questo figlio a chi lo do questo amore di una notte
This son to whom do I give this love of one night
Questo figlio di mille botte
This son of a thousand beatings
