From The Godfather Part III

Anthony (Michael Corleone's son) plays this "tradional Sicilian song" for his father. The music was written by Nina Rota


Sicilian Lyrics
===============

Brucia la luna n'cielu
E ju bruciu d'amuri
Focu ca si consuma
Comu lu me cori

L'anima chianci
Addulurata

Non si da paci
Ma cchi mala nuttata

Lu tempu passa
Ma non agghiorna
Non c'e mai suli
S'idda non torna

Brucia la terra mia
E abbrucia lu me cori
Cchi siti d'acqua idda
E ju siti d'amuri

Acu la cantu
La me canzuni

Si no c'e nuddu
Ca s'a affacia
A lu barcuni

Brucia la luna n'cielu
E ju bruciu d'amuri
Focu ca si consuma
Comu lu me cori

English Translation
====================

The moon is burning in the sky
And I am burning with love
The fire that is consumed
Like my heart

My soul crys
Painfully

I'm not at peace
What a terrible night

The time passes
But there is no dawn
There is no sunshine
If she doesn't return

My earth is burning
And my heart is burning
What she thirsts for water
I thirst for love

Who will I sing
My song to

If there is no one
Who shows herself
On the balcony

The moon is burning in the sky
And I am burning with love
The fire that is consumed
Like my heart
