Quando viene 'appuntamento
When the appointment comes
Guard 'o mare, guard 'e fronne
Look at the sea, look at the leaves
Si te parlo nun rispunne
If I talk to you, you don't respond
StaI distratto comme a che
You're distracted like someone else
Io te tengo dint' 'o core
I hold you in my heart
Song sempe 'nnammurata
I'm always in love
Ma tu invece pienze a' n'ato
But you instead think of another
E te staie scurdanno 'e me
And you’re forgetting about me
Quanno se dice sì
When you say yes
Tienelo a mente
Keep it in mind
Nun s'adda fa murì nu core amante
A loving heart should never die
Tu me diciste sì
You said yes to me
Na sera 'e maggio
One evening in May
E mo' tiene 'o curaggio
And now you have the courage
'E me lassà
To leave me
Tu me diciste sì
You said yes to me
Na sera 'e maggio
One evening in May
E mo' tiene 'o curaggio
And now you have the courage
'E me lassà
To leave me
