Ablacsia's video: Accordone - Pianefforte e notte - Reginella

S. di Giacomo - "Pianefforte 'e notte" L. Bovio/G. Lama - "Reginella" Marco Beasley, voce Guido Morini, pianoforte CD: Accordone - "Il salotto Napoletano" 2003 (live recording) PIANEFFORTE 'E NOTTE: Nu pianefforte 'e notte sona, luntanamente, e 'a museca se sente pe ll'aria suspirà. È 'll'una: dorme 'o vico ncopp' a sta nonna nonna 'e nu mutivo antico 'e tanto tiempo fa. Ll'anema mia surtanto rummare e sta fenesta. Aspetta ancora, e resta, ncantannose, a penzà. REGINELLA: Te si' fatta na vesta scollate, nu cappiello cu 'e nastre e cu 'e rrose stive mmiezo a tre o quattro sciantose e parlava francese: è accussi? Fuje ll'autriere ca t'aggio ncuntrata, fuje ll'autriiere a Tuledo, ngnorsi! T'aggio voluto bbene a te, tu m'hai voluto bbene a mme, Mo' nun nc'amammo cchiù, ma 'e vvote tu distrattamente parl' 'e me? Regine', quanno stive cu mmico nun magnave ca pane e cerase, nuje campavamo 'e vvase, che vvase, tu cantave e chiagnive pe mme... e 'o cardillo cantava co' ttico: "Reginella, 'o vuo' bbene a stu rre?" T'aggio voluto bbene a te... Oi cardillo a chi aspiette stasera? Nun 'o vide, aggio apiert' 'a gajola? Reginella 'e volata, e tu vola, vola e cante, nun chiagnere cchiù! T' 'e a truvà na patrona sincera, ch'è cchiù degna 'e sentire cantà! T'aggio voluto bbene a te... Translation: A PIANO AT NIGHT A piano is playing far into the night: Across the air the music domes sighing. It's one in the morning: the song Rocks the streeet to sleep To the strains of an old melody From long, long ago. My soul remains alone at this window, Waiting still rapt deep in thought. REGINELLA: You bought yourself a decollté dress And a hat with bands and roses; You were with a few other chanson singers And were speaking French, isn't that so? It was just yesterday that I spied you, Yesterday in the Toledo it was. I loved you so much And you loved me too. Now we love no longer, But maybe you think, Just in passing, of me? Reginella, when you were with me, You ate only bread and some cherries; Our life was for kissing, and what for kisses! You sang and you cried for me... And your goldfinch sang with you too: "Reginella, do you love your king?" I loved you so much... O goldfinch, for whom are you waiting tonight? Did you not see that I opened your cage? Reginella has fled, and you too should fly, Fly forth and weep no more! Find yourself an honest mistress Who values your song more highly! I loved you so much... pictures: 2. G.
