Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nisciuno sape l'intenzione mia.
A sape sule chi s'add'affaccià,
A sape sule chi vo' bbene a me.
Nun t'affaccià si siente a voce mia
Nun t'affaccià si siente a serenata
Ije mo' nun canto pe tté, canto pe' n'ata
Ca' nun s'affaccia si t'affacce tu.
E na' catena 'e vase long'assaje,
Chist'é l'ammore ca' ni' ha 'ngatenate,
Chist'é l'ammore ca' suspira e canta.
Nun t'affaccià si siente a voce mia
Nun t'affaccià si siente a serenata.
