AMMORE LUNTANE
 
Partiette da Toscana e ghiette luntane
addo’ nascette pateme e famiglia
me’ songhe annammurate e stu’ paisane
chi e’ sape si’ me’ sposa e me’da’ figli
 
Truvaie fatica a Ischia dinte a st’ufficio
pe’ sta’ nu’ poco chiu’ vicino a isse
faciette tutti chisti sacrificie
cercanne e ce’ parla’ e vederce spisse
 
Ma oggi torno a Toscana cu’ stu’ dulore
da chistu giuvinotto cu’ sta’ speranza
e sape ca’ io o voglio bene cu’ tutt’o core
ma chi e’ sape addo’ fernesce stu’ romanzo

MY FAR AWAY LOVE
 
I left Tuscany and I went afar
where my parent and my family was born
I fell in love with this Paisano of mine
who known if he will marry me and give me children
 
I found work in Ischia in this office
to be much closer to him
I made this big sacrifice
to try to talk to him and to see each other often
 
But today I’m returning to Tuscany broken hearted
from this nice guy with the hope
he knows that I love him with all my heart
but who knows where this romance will end.
