Malaterra [English translation]

If I see you, my heart starts beating

And I don't know how to make it stop

Because you are .. you are the love

That I only find here

With my open eyes, I tryed to ring you

Day and night (and evening)

And I was watching you without being able(or allowed) to touch you

You dark Malaterra

I would like to stay here forever

Just in order to cuddle you

Those alleys that go down

Like a woman's hair

To kiss you

As if you were my mom

To taste this salt

That I can't find in another city

Tell me why

When I'm with you

I go back to being a child

And I feel the warmth in my soul

I don't make it to understand

If I see you suffer

Malaterra, if they hurt you

I feel like dying

You made lot of people write songs

Even the ones who can't read or play

You made lot of poets come up

Who made everyone sing

And even if I am far away

I am Napolitan

Because I am the son of this sea

I am Malaterra and love

I would like to be here forever

Only watching

When the sun caresses these houses

And the prostitutes fall asleep

This sky there

I don't find it in another city

This moon is covered

And the cold that can't scratch

Before dying

Just make me feel

That this fire doesn't burn the hope

Of these children to grow

You, slave to yourself

A queen to me

Malaterra you are sugared tears

And I know why

Even for me
