| State appicecat 'nata vot' | Still entangled, another time, in silent flame, |
| Sul mo t’accuorg ke sbagliat | Only now you glimpse the errant shadow cast, |
| Te chiamav e nun o rispunniv | You called—your voice adrift, he did not heed, |
| Accussì le fatt sospettà | Thus the seeds of doubt, sown in frost-laced grass, |
| Non sopporti la sua gelosia | You cannot bear his jealousy’s cold hands, |
| Possessiva quasi da follia | His love—a storm, delirious, all-consuming, |
| Quello schiaffo te lo sei voluto | That slap—you summoned it, a bitter fruit, |
| Nun capisc va mpazzi pe te | You fail to see: he’s lost his mind for you, |
| Dai | Go on, |
| E chiammalo, sta vot faccio ij o nummer | Call him—this time I’ll be the pulse behind the number, |
| Appicecat è inutile | These tangled quarrels—chaff before the wind, |
| Pecchè già saje ca te ven a cercà | For already he knows: your beacon draws him near, |
| Lui ama te | He loves you— |
| E pure tu ce tien | And you, too, hold your ember close, |
| Si legge nei tuoi occhi | It glimmers in your eyes, like rain on glass, |
| Ca tu nun te fir e stà | You cannot help but wander, restless, stay, |
| E chiammalo rincell vien subit | Call him—the word will fly, a falcon, swift, |
| Nun aspettà cchiù e n’attim | Do not tarry—lose no moment to the dusk, |
| Circel scusa fatt purdunà | Circle back, ask pardon—let forgiveness bloom, |
| E' un grande amore | This is a love vast as cathedral vaults, |
| E se domandi al cuore ti dirà la verità | And if you query your heart, it will yield truth undimmed, |
| Vo sapè che so' chist’uocchj nfus | You long to know the riddle in those drowning eyes, |
| Iss ngopp a casa nun è scis | He stayed at home—he never left the shade, |
| Se ne pent pur iss sta male | Remorse devours him, guilt chills his marrow, |
| Ha giurato che lui cambierà | He has sworn by dawn’s light he will be remade, |
| Gli dirai che non è una bugia | You will tell him—no, this is no woven lie, |
| Stavi a casa dall’amica tua | You were at your friend’s, safe as a candle flame, |
| Lui ti crederà e con un bacio | He will believe you, and seal it, mouth to brow, |
| Ti dirà che mai lo rifarà | He will vow never to darken hope again, |
| Dai | Go on, |
| E chiammalo sta vot faccio ij o nummer | Call him—this time I’ll be the pulse behind the number, |
| Appicecat è inutile | These tangled quarrels—chaff before the wind, |
| Pecchè già saje ca te ven a cercà | For already he knows: your beacon draws him near, |
