  1. Vaco distrattamente abbandunata

    I walk abandoned, distracted

  2. Ll'uocchie sott' 'o cappiello annascunnute

    The eyes hidden under the hat

  3. Mane 'int' 'a sacca e bávero aizata

    Hand in the bag and head held high

  4. Vaco siscanno ê stelle ca só' asciute

    I’m listening to the stars that have come out

  5. E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te

    And the red moon speaks to me of you

  6. Io lle domando si aspiette a me

    I ask her if she's waiting for me

  7. E mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé

    And she replies: 'If you want to know,

  8. Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna"

    Here there’s no one'

  9. E i' chiammo 'o nomme pe' te vedé

    And I call your name to see you

  10. Ma, tutt"a gente ca parla 'e te

    But, everyone talks about you

  11. Risponne: "E' tarde che vuó' sapé?!

    She responds: "It's late, what do you want to know?!

  12. Ccá nun ce sta nisciuna!"

    There's no one here!"

  13. Luna rossa

    Red moon

  14. Chi mme sarrá sincera?

    Who will be sincere with me?

  15. Luna rossa

    Red moon

  16. Se n'è ghiuta ll'ata sera

    She left last night

  17. Senza mme vedé

    Without seeing me

  18. E io dico ancora ch'aspetta a me

    And I still say to wait for me

  19. For' 'o barcone stanott'ê ttre

    Outside the boat tonight at three

  20. E prega 'e Sante pe' mme vedé

    And pray to the Saints to see me

  21. Ma nun ce sta nisciuna

    But there's no one here

  22. Mille e cchiù appuntamente aggio tenuto

    I've had a thousand and more appointments

  23. Tante e cchiù sigarette aggio appicciata

    I've lit a ton of cigarettes

  24. Mille tazze 'e café mme só' bevuto

    I've drunk a thousand cups of coffee

  25. Mille vucchelle amare aggio vasato

    I've kissed a thousand bitter lips

  26. E 'a luna rossa mme parla 'e te

    And the red moon speaks to me of you

  27. Io lle domando si aspiette a me

    I ask it if you're waiting for me

  28. E mme risponne: "Si 'o vvuó' sapé

    And it replies: 'If you want to know'

  29. Ma nun ce sta nisciuna"

    But there's no one here

  30. La luna roja me habla de ti

    The red moon tells me about you

  31. Yo le pregunto si me esperas a mi

    I ask her if you're waiting for me

  32. Y me responde:

    And she replies:

  33. "Si quieres saber

  34. Ma nun ce sta nisciuna"
