Pinsendi a te

English translation

Thinking of you

Soggu soru senza un cani chi mi possia cunsurà,

I am alone with not even a dog to comfort me,

soggu in zercha d'un amori chi aggiu auddu tempu fa.

I’m looking for a love that I had a while ago.

Ma una luzi vegg'azzesa, m'avvizinu p'abbaiddà,

But I see a light on, so I get close to watch

e una bozi a l'imprubisu m'è dizendi: via di qua!

and a voice of a sudden tells me: “out of here!”

E lu pinsamentu meu vora pianu finza a te;

And my thought is flying slowly until it reaches you;

abbrazzaddi e ippassizendi cantu zi vurìami bè.

hugging and strolling, how much we loved each other.

Mi jurabi pa la vidda: no ti possu mai lassà;

You swore on your life: I could never leave you;

in un lampu sei ipparidda, soru un sognu pari abà.

in a flash, you disappeared; now you’re just a dream for me.

Aggiu in cabbu tanti cosi chi no soggu cosa fà,

I have so many things on my mind that I don't know what to do,

a dugnunu i la carrera eu mi pongu a dumandà:

down the street, I’m asking everybody:

si pai casu la vididdi mi dividdi d'avvisà.

if by chance you see her, you must let me know.

Pregu sempri a la Madonna chi mi la fozzia abbrazzà.

I always pray to Our Lady to make me embrace her.

Ma lu pinsamentu meu vora pianu finza a te

But my thought is flying slowly until it reaches you;

abbrazzaddi e ippassizendi cantu zi vurìami bè.

hugging and strolling, how much we loved each other.

Mi jurabi pa la vidda: no ti possu mai lassà;

You swore on your life: I could never leave you;

torra, torra, amori meu, no ti possu immintiggà.

come back, come back, my love, I can’t forget you.

Ma lu pinsamentu meu vora pianu finza a te

But my thought is flying slowly until it reaches you;

abbrazzaddi e ippassizendi cantu zi vurìami bè.

hugging and strolling, how much we loved each other.

Mi jurabi pa la vidda: no ti possu mai lassà;

You swore on your life: I could never leave you;

torra, torra, amori meu, no ti possu immintiggà.

come back, come back, my love, I can’t forget you.
