Brucia la luna n'cielu
e ju bruciu d'amuri.
Focu ca si consuma
comu lu me cori.
L'anima chianci,
addulurata,
non si da paci.
Ma cchi mala nuttata!
Lu tempu passa
ma non agghiorna.
Non c'e mai suli
s'idda non torna.
Brucia la terra mia
e abbrucia lu me cori.
Cchi siti d'acqua idda
e ju siti d'amuri.
Acu la cantu
la me canzuni
si no c'e nuddu
ca se affacia a lu barcuni.
Brucia la luna n'cielu
e ju bruciu d'amuri....

Burning is the moon in the sky
And I am burning of love
The fire is almost consumed
Like my heart
The soul cries
In pain
There's no peace
What a terrible night!
The time passes
But there is no dawn
There is no sunshine
If she doesn't return
My earth is burning
And also is burning my heart
She thirsts for water
And i thirst for love
Who will i sing
My song
If don't know of nobody
Who shows herself to the balcony
Burning is the moon in the sky
And I am burning of love...
