Italian Language/Oi Marie

Expert: Maria - 9/13/2007

Question

I have fallen in love with the tune of "Oi Marie," but I cannot find

the English translation anywhere. Do you know an accurate

translation -- or can you translate your own Neapolitan lyrics?

By the way, I am neither a spammer nor homeworker nor tattoist.

Answer

Hello Henry,

You can see below my translation of the Neapolitan song lyrics “Maria Marì” by Russo (text) - Di Capua (music), also

known as “Oi Marì” from the first words of its refrain.

Please note that I put the original Neapolitan text into brackets so that you can see it.

Finally a little remark: the Neapolitan dialect is not standard Italian, as you certainly know, though they have the

same origin.

Best regards from Italy,

Maria

Open, o window!( Aràpete fenèsta).

Let Mary appear,(famm' affaccià a Maria)

As I’m in the middle of the street(ca stongo mmiez' 'a via)

Hoping to see her!(speruto d''a vedè).

I don’t have a moment's peace (Nun trovo n'ora 'e pace)

I turn my night into day ('A nott' 'a faccio juorno),

To be always here (sempe pe stà ccà attuorno)

Hoping to talk to her!(speranno 'e ce parlà!)

Maria

O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mari', oi Mari)

How much sleep I lose over you!(Quanta suonno ca perdo pe’ te)

Let me sleep (Famm' addurmi)

Just hugging you ! (abbracciato nu poco cu te)

O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Marì, oi Marì)

How much sleep I lose over you! (Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te)

Let me sleep (Famm' addurmì),


In the middle of this little garden ('Mmiez'a stu ciardeniello),

A hollyhock smiles at us …( ce ride 'a malvarosa...)

A bed of rose-petals (Nu lietto 'e fronne 'e rosa)

I made for you … (aggio fatto pe' te...)

Come here as the night is sweet (Viene che 'a notte è doce)

The sky is like a mantle…( 'o cielo ch'è nu manto...)

You are sleeping and I’m singing (Tu duorme e io te canto)

A lullaby by your side …('a nanna a fianco a te...)

It seems that there is a small opening (Pare ca già s'arape)

Of the window (na senga 'e fenestella)

Mary waves to me (Maria ca na manella

She waves to me!(nu segno a me me fa)

Play, my guitar ! (Sona, chitarra mia)

Mary woke up (Maria s' è scetata)

A beautiful serenade (Na bella serenata)

Let’s sing her !( facimmela sentì).

O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mari', oi Mari)

How much sleep I lose over you! (Quanta suonno ca perdo pe’ te)

Let me sleep (Famm' addurmi)

Just hugging you ! (abbracciato nu poco cu te)


How much sleep I lose over you! (Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te)

Let me sleep (Famm' addurmì),
