Dear HTLALers,
could somebody help me out with an English translation of the following song, please? It's a song from Puglia I believe. Here's the original lyrics (you can listen a fascinating cover by Radicanto here): Beddha ci stai luntanu e bbo mme viti nfacciate alla fenescia de lu punente ci senti friddu suntu li mei suspiri ci senti cautu ete stu care ardente ci onde iti a mare nu lle timire suntu te lacrime fiumi currenti e cci pe l’aria senti uci e lamenti su jeu ca te te chiamu e nnu me senti allu paese meli se fila l’oru a ddhrai se mangia sempre pane te cranu I've found an Italian translation by Mauro De Filippis to ease the task. Bella, se stai lontano e vuoi vedermi affacciati alla finestra di ponente se senti freddo sono i miei sospiri se senti caldo è questo cuore ardente se vedi le ondi in mare non le temere sono di lacrime fiumi correnti e se nell’aria senti voci e lamenti sono io che ti chiamo e non mi senti al mio paese si fila l’oro li si mangia sempre pane di grano I really appreciate in advance any help.

Something like this:
Beautiful girl, if you are far away and want to see me look out of the west window if you feel cold, it's my sighs if you feel hot, it's my burning heart if you see waves on the sea don't fear them they are flowing rivers of tears and if you hear voices sobbing in the air it's when I call you and you don't hear in my country we spin gold but there we always eat bread 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I don't speak Salentino, but I did listen to the link and I keep hearing "fiumi
d'argentu" rather than "fiumi currenti", which would (presumably) be "fiumi d'argento" and so "they are silver rivers of tears" rather than "they are flowing rivers of tears". I found several other copies of the original text and translations, and they all go with "currenti". This video clearly says "currenti" and this one even emphasises it. So maybe I'm just mishearing that link, or the artist took some liberties? 1 person has voted this message useful |
