Jose Carreras, "Malafemmena"

Описание: Josep Carreras, "Malafemmena", by Antonio de Curtis, from the new CD "25 Meraviglioso", December 2013 (with lyrics and translation)

Si avisse fatto a n'ato
chello ch'e fatto a mme
st'ommo t'avesse acciso,
tu vuo sape pecche?
Pecche 'ncopp'a sta terra
femmene comme a te
non ce hanna sta pe n'ommo
onesto comme a me!...

Femmena
Tu si na malafemmena
Chist'uocchie 'e fatto chiagnere..
Lacreme e 'nfamita.
Femmena,
Si tu peggio 'e na vipera,
m'e 'ntussecata l'anema,
nun pozzo cchiu campa.
Femmena
Si ddoce comme 'o zucchero
pero sta faccia d'angelo
te serve pe 'nganna...
Femmena,
tu si 'a cchiu bella femmena,
te voglio bene e t'odio
nun te pozzo scurda...

Te voglio ancora bene
Ma tu nun saie pecche
pecche l'unico ammore
si stata tu pe me...

E tu pe nu capriccio
tutto 'e distrutto,ojne,
Ma Dio nun t'o perdone
chello ch'e fatto a mme!...

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

If you would have done to another man
what you did to me
this other man would have killed you
do you want to know why?
because ...
in this land women like you
don't want to stay
with a honest man like me

Woman
you are a bad woman
you made these eyes
to cry tears and infamy
woman
you are worst that a viper
you have destroyed my soul
I can't live anymore
woman
you are as sweet as sugar
but your face of angel
serves you to deceive
woman
you are the most beautiful
woman
I love you and I hate you
I can't forget you

I still love you
but you don't know why
It's because you were
to me my only love

And you have destroyed
all in me due to a caprice
May God not fogrive you
what you did to me
