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
