Lyrics
Partono 'e bastimente
pe' terre assaje luntane…
CЎntano a buordo:
sі' Napulitane!
Cantano pe' tramente
'o golfo giЎ scumpare,
e 'a luna, 'a miez'ґ mare,
nu poco 'e Napule
lle fa ved©…
Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
se va a cercЎ furtuna…
ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
luntano 'a Napule
nun se pІ stЎ!
E sІnano…Ma 'e mmane
trmmano 'ncopp''e ccorde…
Quanta ricorde, ahimm©,
quanta ricorde…
E 'o core nun 'o sane
nemmeno cu 'e ccanzone:
Sentenno voce e suone,
se mette a chiagnere
ca vІ' turnЎ…
Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
se va a cercЎ furtuna…
ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
luntano 'a Napule
nun se pІ stЎ!
Santa Lucia, tu tiene
sulo nu poco 'e mare…
ma, cchi№ luntana staje,
cchi№ bella pare…
E' 'o canto d''e Ssirene
ca tesse ancora 'e rrezze!
Core nun vІ' ricchezze:
si nato a Napule,
ce vІ' mur!
Santa Lucia!
Luntano 'a te,
quanta malincunia!
Se gira 'o munno sano,
se va a cercЎ furtuna…
ma, quanno sponta 'a luna,
luntano 'a Napule
nun se pІ stЎ!
Lyrics translation
Depart ' and bastimente
on ' terre assaje luntane…
CYntano in buordo:
Yes, Napulitane!
They sing pe ' tramente
'O Gulf GIY expensive,
it's on the moon, in the middle of the sea,
nu poco ' e Napule
lle fa ved©…
Saint Lucia!
Luntano ' to you,
what a mess!
If it turns ' O munno sano,
it's going to cercY storm…
but, when the moon rises,
luntano ' a Napule
nun se Pi stY!
E sInano...Ma ' e mmane
trmmano 'ncopp' and ccorde…
How much memory, ahimm©,
how much do you remember…
It's a healthy core.
not even cu ' and ccanzone:
Sentenno voice and sound,
if it starts to whine
that vI'tourny…
Saint Lucia!
Luntano ' to you,
what a mess!
If it turns ' O munno sano,
it's going to cercY storm…
but, when the moon rises,
luntano ' a Napule
nun se Pi stY!
Saint Lucia, you have
sulo NU poco ' e mare…
but, CCHI№ luntana staje,
cchi№ beautiful looks…
It's the song D"E Ssirene
we still weave and retrace!
Core nun vI ' riches:
you were born in Napule,
you're dead!
Saint Lucia!
Luntano ' to you,
what a mess!
If it turns ' O munno sano,
it's going to cercY storm…
but, when the moon rises,
luntano ' a Napule
nun se Pi stY!
