Chiove
(Bovio & Nardella)
Tu staie malata, e cante, tu stai murenno e cante.
You are ill & you sing, you are dying & you sing.
So' nove journe, nove ca chiove, chiove, chiove
& for nine days it has been raining...
E se fa fredda ll'aria, e se fa cupo 'o cielo
The air grows cold & the sky grows dark,
e tu, dint' 'a 'stu ggelo, tu sola cante e muore.
& you, in this cold, sing alone & die.

Chi si? Tu 'a canaria.
Who are you? You are a songbird.
Chi si? Tu si l'Ammore
Who are you? You are Love,
ca pure quanno more canta canzone nove
who even in death sings new songs.
Ggiesu! ma comme chiove!
Jesus! How it rains!

Tu, comme a 'na Madonna cante 'na ninna nonna
Like a Madonna you sing a lullaby
pe' 'n'angiulillo 'ncroce ca vo senti 'sta voce
for the little angel on the cross who wants to hear your voice.
'Sta voce sulitaria ca dint' 'a notte canta.
The lonely voice that sings in the night.
E tu, comm' 'a 'na santa tu sola sola e muore.
& you, like a saint alone you die

Chi si? Tu si 'a canaria etc.
