E tu che suocchie (And you with those eyes)

Nin mi guardà n'ghe s'uocchie Pasquarosa
ca io pe te ci perse lu riposa

e tu n'ghi s'uocchie
Mi fi squaj
à lu core
mi fi m'pazzì d'amore
mi fi murì pe te


Nin mi guardà n'ghe s'uocchie Rusinelle
ca i pe te ci perse lu cirvelle

e tu n'ghi s'uocchie
Mi fi squaglià lu core
mi fi m'pazzì d'amore
mi fi murì pe te

 
 Don’t look at me with those eyes Pasquarosa
 
Because of you I lose my rest

 And you with those eyes
 
You make my heart melt
 
You make me go mad with love
 
You make me die for you


 
Don’t look at me with those eyes of yours Rosinella
 Because of you I have lost my brain

 
And you with those eyes
 
You make my heart melt
 
You make me go mad with love
 
You make me die for you
