Ninna nanna marinare
'Ngopp a varca, miezo o mare
Lo te parl e nun respunn
Te si perze miez o suonn
Te vurria magna' de vas
Ma ho paura e te sceta'
Cosi' guarde da luntane
Co'stu core innammurat
Quann aggia' spetta
D'averti questa sera
Co' sta luna c***na?
Quann aggia' sogna'
Di dirti quanto t'amo
Co' stu' core 'man--ma tu--
Sogni qui nel blu...
Ninna nanna marinare
Tu si bell comme o' mare
A vote calm, senza creste
A vote tutta na' tempesta
Ma tu suonn d'ate cose
E chissa se t'arricuord
Che tra a luna e mieze e stelle
Lo t'aspette a braccia aperte
Quann aggia' spetta
D'averti questa sera
Co' sta luna c***na?
Quann aggia' sogna'
Di dirti quanto t'amo
Co' stu' core 'man--ma tu--
Sogni qui nel blu...
Ninna nanna nanna nanna
Ninna nanna nanna nanna...
Translation:
Sleep, sleep sailor
On the boat, in the middle of the sea
I speak to you, but you don't answer
You are lost in your dreams
I want to devour you with kisses
But I am afraid to awaken you
So I gaze at you from afar
With this heart in love
How long must I wait
To have you this evening
With this full moon?
How long must I dream
Of telling you how much I love you
With my heart in my hand?
But you dream in the blue...
Sleep, sleep sailor
You are beautiful like the sea
Sometimes calm without crests
Sometimes just like a storm
But you are dreaming of other things
And who knows if you will remember
That between the moon and the stars
I am waiting for you with open arms
How long must I wait
To have you this evening
With this full moon?
How long must I dream
Of telling you how much I love you
With my heart in my hand?
But you dream in the blue...
