Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Si' 'Na Cosa Grande by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Tu si' 'na cosa grande pe' mme
You are a great thing for me
'Na cosa ca me fa nnammura'
A thing that makes me fall in love
'Na cosa ca si tu guard'a mme
A thing that if you look at me
Je me ne moro accussi'
I die like this
Guardanno a tte
Looking at you
Vurria sape' 'na cosa da te
I would like to know something from you
Pecche' quanno i' te guardo accussi'
Because when I look at you like this
Si pure tu te siente 'e muri'
Even you feel like dying
Nun m'o ddice
You don't tell me
E nun m'o faje capi', ma pecche'
And you don't make me understand, but why
E dillo 'na vota sola
Say it just once
Si pure tu staje tremmanno
If even you are trembling
Dillo ca me vuoi bene
Say that you love me
Comm'io, comm'io
Like I, like I
Comm'io voglio bene a tte
Like I love you
Tu si' 'na cosa grande pe' mme
You are a great thing for me
'Na cosa ca tu stessa nun saje
A thing that you yourself don't know
'Na cosa ca nun aggio avuto maje
A thing that I have never had
Nu bene accussi', accussi' grande
A love so big, so big
Si pure tu te siente 'e muri'
Even you feel like dying
Nun m'o ddice
You don't tell me
E nun m'o faje capi', ma pecche'
And you don't make me understand, but why
E dillo 'na vota sola
Say it just once
Si pure tu staje tremmanno
If even you are trembling
Dillo ca me vuoi bene
Say that you love me
Comm'io, comm'io
Like I, like I
Comm'io voglio bene a tte
Like I love you
Tu si' 'na cosa grande pe' mme
You are a great thing for me
'Na cosa ca tu stessa nun saje
A thing that you yourself don't know
'Na cosa ca nun aggio avuto maje
A thing that I have never had
Nu bene accussi', accussi' grande
A love so big, so big
