Senza Mamma E Nnammurata

(Album: More Greatest Hits - 1961)

Sperduto comm'ê cane 'mmiez'â via
Chiagne 'stu core mio addulurato
Smuóvete pure tu, Madonna mia
Pecché 'na 'nfama sulo mm'ha lassato
Vurrìa murì, so' troppo sfurtunato

Mme pare d' 'a vedé cu 'o manto 'e sposa
Cu 'a vesta janca e 'a faccia culor rosa
Se 'mmeretava, quann'essa è spusata
'na botta ô core, chella scellerata

Oh mama, why am I so all alone?
Why is there no one I can call my own?
Why do the days an nights
All seem the same?
Why don't you answer
When I call your name?
All I ever want, to live again

You were my song, my [?]
My guiding light
You were the one
Who taught me wrong from right
So much of you is with me, though you're gone
Angela mia, how can I go on?
