FENESTRE -FINESTRE- WINDOWS]

Neapolitan [language of my maternal side]
FENESTRE
Apra ‘e fenestre
Vuoglio sentí
cantà o mare
vuoglio chiangà cu lluna
a soja malinconia

Apra e fenestre
Lassa vení a nnote
fa trasí e stelle
no core
Lassa fora a morte

STANDARD ITALIAN

FINESTRE
Apra le finestre
voglio sentir’cantare
il mare.
voglio piangere
colla luna
la sua malinconia .

apra le finestre
lascia venire la notte
fa entrare le stelle
nel mio cuore
lascia fuori la morte

WINDOWS

Open the windows
I want to hear the sea
speak to me
again
I want to cry with the moon
Iit’s melancholy

Open the windows
let the night in
let the stars come
into my heart
let them keep Death
away

— Geremia, Jan 12, 2013
