A ghiuorne a ghiuorne parte nu vapore...
A ghiuorne 'ammore mio se vótta a mare!

Narrow stairs
long
long
long
long
narrow
narrow
where is she
young lover

she hasn't come out yet
zuc
zuc
zuc
zuc
little clogs
little clogs
along this narrow
and dilapidated street

I would like to go away,
I'm telling you and believe me
where only who is tired of crying can go

narrow stairs
go up to heaven
or go down to the bottom of the sea
look for her
find her
bring her to me
that foolish little girl

She has fallen in love with a painter
who paints Capri and speaks a foreign language
I have heartache in my breast
And I feel this thought has killing me!

Shortly will depart a boat
Shortly my love will go away by the sea
