E com' hê fari ca la notti 'un dormu?
Nun sacciu cgi rimediu circari ; Pigghiu la paparina pri lu sonnu, E cerccu si mi pozzu addurmintari. Mentri chi dormu tu mi veni 'n sonnu ; Tutta scantatu mi fa 'rrisbigghiari. Mi bastanu li peni di lu jornu ; 'Mmenu la notti fammi arripusari ! |
And what am I to do then that at night I find no sleeping?
I know not of what remedy to ask it. Of poppy-juice my slumber I am seeking, But all in vain it is that I thus task it. For while I sleep I see thee in my dreamiing, And naught I find when startled from my pillow. Thou mak'st me suffer 'nough by day, I'm deeming ; At least by night let me forget my sorrow ! |
