Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Passione

Ivari Ilja - Piano Moscow 2008 Passione (Tagliaferri/Valente) 1935 Cchiù luntana mme staje, The further from me you are cchiù vicina te sento... The closer to you I feel... Chisà a chistu mumento Who knows in this moment tu a che faje!... what you’re you’re doing! Tu m’e’ miso ’int’’e vvene, You’ve poured into my veins nu veleno ch’è doce... a sweet poison Comme pesa ’sta croce How heavy is this cross ca trascino pe’ te!... that I bear for you!... Te chiammo... I want think of call you... te sonno... I see you, I hear you, I dream of you... E’ n’anno, ’nce pienze ch’è n’anno Just think -- it’s been a year, a whole year ca stu’occhie nun ponno cchiù pace truvà!... That these eyes have known no peace! E cammino, cammino... And I walk and walk ma nun saccio addo’ vaco... But I don’t know where I’m going... I’ sto’ sempe ’mbriaco I’m always drunk e nun bevo maje vino... though I never drink wine... Aggio fatto nu vuto I’ve made a vow a’ Madonna d’a neve: to Our Lady of the Snow si mme passa ’sta freve, that if this fever passes oro e perle lle do’... I’ll offer her gold and pearls... Te chiammo... I want think of call you... te sonno... I see hear dream of you... E’ n’anno, ’nce pienze ch’è n’anno Just think -- it’s been a year, a whole year ca stu’occhie nun ponno cchiù pace truvà!... That these eyes have known no peace!
