Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ll'uocchie sott'o cappiello annascunnute
mane 'int'a sacca e bavero aizato...
Vaco siscanno e stelle ca so'asciute...
E'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te
io lle domando si aspiette a me,
e mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuo'sape,cca nun ce esta nisciuna..."
E io chiammo 'o nomme pe'te vede,
ma, tutt'a gente ca parla 'e te,
risponne: "E tarde che vuo'sape?!
Cca nun ce sta nisciuna!..."
Luna rossa,
chi mme sarra sincera?
Luna rossa,
se n'e ghiuta ll'ata sera
senza mme vede...
Mille e cchiu appuntamente aggio tenuto...
Tante e cchiu sigarette aggio appicciato...
Tanta tazze 'e cafe mme so' bevuto...
Mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato...
E'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te
Io lle domando si aspiette a me,
e mme risponne: "Si o vvuo' sape,
cca nun ce sta nisciuna..."
E io chiammo 'o nomme pe'te vede
ma, tutt'a gente ca parla 'e te,
risponne: "E tarde che vuo'sape?!Cca nun ce sta nisciuna!..."
E io dico ancora ch'aspetta a me,
for'o barcone stanott'e ttre,
e prega 'e Sante pe'mme vede...
Ma nun ce sta nisciuna...

The lyrics to Mario Frangoulis's song "Luna Rossa" describe a man wandering distractedly with his eyes hidden under a cap, his hands in his pockets, and his collar raised. He walks while gazing at the stars that twinkle above him. Along the way, he sees a red moon, and he asks the moon if his lover is waiting for him. The moon answers that there is no one waiting for him. He then calls out his lover's name, but everyone who speaks about her says that no one is waiting for him.
The man recalls how many appointments he has kept, how many cigarettes he has smoked, how many cups of coffee he has drunk, and how many bitter kisses he has given. Despite his longing for his lover, he finds himself alone without anyone to care for him. The theme of the song is one of lost love, missed opportunities, and loneliness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man with a heavy heart, searching desperately for a sign of hope and love.

Vaco distrattamente abbandunato...
I am aimlessly wandering around...
Ll'uocchie sott'o cappiello annascunnute
My eyes are hidden under the hat...
mane 'int'a sacca e bavero aizato...
My hands in my pockets and collar raised...
Vaco siscanno e stelle ca so'asciute...
I am admiring the stars that have come out...
E'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te
The red moon speaks to me about you...
io lle domando si aspiette a me,
I ask if you are waiting for me...
e mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuo'sape,
And it answers me: "If you want to know...
cca nun ce esta nisciuna..."
...there is no one here..."
E io chiammo 'o nomme pe'te vede,
And I call your name to see...
ma, tutt'a gente ca parla 'e te,
But everyone who talks about you...
risponne: "E tarde che vuo'sape?!

Cca nun ce sta nisciuna!..."

Luna rossa,
Red moon,
chi mme sarra sincera?
Who will be sincere to me?
Luna rossa,
Red moon,
se n'e ghiuta ll'ata sera
If the other night has gone by
senza mme vede...
Without seeing me...
Mille e cchiu appuntamente aggio tenuto...
I have kept a thousand and more notes...
Tante e cchiu sigarette aggio appicciato...
I have smoked so many cigarettes...
Tanta tazze 'e cafe mme so' bevuto...
I have drunk so many cups of coffee...
Mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato...
I have kissed a thousand bitter lips...
E io dico ancora ch'aspetta a me,
And I still say that you are waiting for me...
for'o barcone stanott'e ttre,
On the boat tonight at three,
e prega 'e Sante pe'mme vede...
And pray to the saints to see me...
Ma nun ce sta nisciuna...
But there is no one here...
