'Na Sera 'e Maggio Lyrics in English Plácido Domingo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 'Na Sera 'e Maggio by Plácido Domingo from Italian to English.
Quanno vien'a 'appuntamento
When the appointment comes
guarde 'o mare, guard''e ffronne
Look at the sea, look at the leaves
si te parlo nun rispunne
If I talk to you, you don't answer
staje distratta comm'a che
You're distracted like that
Io te tengo dint''o core
I hold you in my heart
sóngo sempe 'nnammurato
I'm always in love
ma tu, invece, pienze a n'ato
But you, instead, think of someone else
e te staje scurdanno 'e me
And you're forgetting about me
Quanno se dice: ''Sí!''
When it's said: "Yes!"
tiènelo a mente
Keep it in mind
Nun s'ha da fá murí
A loving heart shouldn't die
nu core amante
You told me: "Yes!" one May evening
Tu mme diciste: ''Sí!'' na sera 'e maggio
And now do you have the courage to leave me?!
e mo tiene 'o curaggio 'e mme lassá?!
Your eyes are not sincere
St'uocchie tuoje nun só' sincere
Like when you met me
comm'a quanno mme 'ncuntraste
Like when you told me
comm'a quanno mme diciste
"I love only you..."
''Voglio bene sulo a te''
And trembling, you swore to me
E tremmanno mme giuraste
With a hand on your heart
cu na mano 'ncopp''o core
"You don't forget the first love!..."
''Nun se scorda 'o primmo ammore!''
Now you're forgetting about me
Mo te staje scurdanno 'e me
When it's said: "Yes!"
Quanno se dice: ''Sí!''
Keep it in mind
tiènelo a mente
A loving heart shouldn't die
Nun s'ha da fá murí
You told me: "Yes!" one May evening
nu core amante
And now do you have the courage to leave me?!
Tu mme diciste: ''Sí!'' na sera 'e maggio
You told me: "Yes!" one May evening
e mo tiene 'o curaggio 'e mme lassá?!
And now do you have the courage to leave me?!
Tu mme diciste: ''Sí!'' na sera 'e maggio
You said to me: ''Yes!'' in the evening of May
e mo tiene 'o curaggio 'e mme lassá?!
and now he takes care of me and leaves me there?!
