Translation of the song Ánema e core artist Connie Francis

Tenímmoce accussí

Let us stay together

ánema e core.

heart and soul.

Nun ce lassammo cchiù,

Do not leave me alone,

manco pe' n'ora.

not even for an hour.

Stu desiderio 'e te

I want you so much

mme fa paura.

it frightens me.

Campá cu te,

Living with you,

sempe cu te,

always with you,

pe' nun murí.

and never to die.

Che ce dicimmo a fá

At times we speak

parole amare,

hurtful words,

si 'o bbene po' campá

but might it not get better

cu nu respiro?

with a breath?

Si smanie pure tu

If you too suffer

pe' chist'ammore,

from this love,

tenímmoce accussí

let us stay together

ánema e core.

heart and soul.

~~~~~

Open up the doors

Open up the doors

leading to heaven—

leading to heaven—

a heaven,

a heaven,

mine and yours,

mine and yours,

ánema e core.

ánema e core.
