Anema E Core
Fausto Cigliano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nuje ca perdimmo 'a pace e 'o suonno,
nun ce dicimmo maje pecchè?
Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno,
nun so' sti vvocche oje ne'!
Pure, te chiammo e nun rispunne
pe' fa dispietto a me
Tenimmoce accusì:
anema e core,
e nun ce lassammo cchiù,
manco pe' n'ora,
stu desiderio 'e te
mme fa paura,
campà cu te,
sempre cu te,
pe' nun murìiiiiiii.
Che ce dicimmo a fa
parole amare,
si 'o bbene po' campà
cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pe'
chist'ammore,
tenimmoce accussì
anema e core!
Eh Si smanie pure tu pe'
chist'ammore,
tenimmoce accussì
anema e core!

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from the classic Neapolitan song "Anema e core" tell the story of two lovers who have lost their peace and sleep and wonder why they can't stay away from each other. They hear voices around them, but they don't care, as they are consumed by their desire for each other. Even if they call each other and don't answer to spite each other, they can't resist the urge to be together. The fear of living without each other is so overwhelming that their desire for each other becomes scary. They express that they don't need to use harsh words or hurtful expressions when trying to communicate because the love they share is deep enough to withstand the test of time.


The song speaks about the timeless nature of love, the inexplicable feeling of attraction, and the power of commitment. The tune has become a classic and remains a popular love song throughout the world, even beyond Italy. The melody is both romantic and joyful, and the lyrics are simple yet powerful, evoking a sense of pure and passionate love that transcends language and culture.
