Mamma la luna, comu gira e camina
trapassa i monti, lu mare e la marina
Mamma, mamma cci 'ma fattu fare
nfucatu mmissi quannu era vagnone
Lu sonnu nnaggiu persu chianu chianu
la vita mia la morte va chiamannu
Lu core nu riggetta pe lu ffannu
lu sentimentu è sciutu già luntanu
MOTHER MOON
Mother, the moon, how she turns and walks
passing over mountains, the sea and the shore
Mother, mother what have you made me do
I should have drowned when I was a child
Sleep I have lost it slowly slowly
my life calls for death
My heart won't stop for the worry
feeling is already far away.
