my earth is burning

like a great greek tragedy
only more accessible

the godfather trilogy
is one good part of this good break

so is nino rota's brucia la terra


Brucia la luna n'cielu // The moon is burning in the sky
E ju bruciu d'amuri // and I am burning with love
Focu ca si consuma // The fire that is consumed
Comu lu me cori // like my heart

L'anima chianci // My soul cries
Addulurata // Painfully

Non si da paci // I'm not at peace
Ma cchi mala nuttata // What a terrible night

Lu tempu passa // The time passes
Ma non agghiorna // but there is no dawn
Non c'e mai suli // There is no sunshine
S'idda non torna // if she doesn't return

Brucia la terra mia // My earth is burning
E abbrucia lu me cori // and my heart is burning
Cchi siti d'acqua idda // What she thirsts for water
E ju siti d'amuri // I thirst for love

Acu la cantu // Who will I sing
La me canzuni // my song to

Si no c'e nuddu // If there is no one
Ca s'a affacia // who shows herself
A lu barcuni // on the balcony

Brucia la luna n'cielu // The moon is burning in the sky
E ju bruciu d'amuri // and I am burning with love
Focu ca si consuma // The fire that is consumed
Comu lu me cori // like my heart



Acu la cantu la me canzuni
