I Te Vurria Vasa
Domenico Modugno
I Would Like to Kiss You
Ah! What a beautiful fresh air...
With the scent of wild roses...
And you, sleeping,
On these rose petals!
The sun, little by little,
Emerges for this garden...
The wind passes and kisses
This little curl on your forehead!
I would like to kiss you...
I would like to kiss you...
But my heart doesn't tell me
To wake you up...
To wake you up!...
I would like to fall asleep...
I would like to fall asleep...
Close to you,
Just for an hour...
Just for an hour!...
You sleep today, my Rose...
And you sleep deeply,
While I watch, enchanted,
Your little face...
And these fresh cheeks
And these black braids,
Fill my heart
With a thousand bad thoughts!
I would like to kiss you...
I would like to kiss you...
But my heart doesn't tell me
To wake you up...
To wake you up!...
I would like to fall asleep...
I would like to fall asleep...
Close to you,
Just for an hour...
Just for an hour!...
I feel your heart
Beating like the waves!
Sleeping, my angel,
Who are you dreaming of...
Jealousy torments
My sick heart:
Are you dreaming of me?... Tell me!
Or are you dreaming of someone else?
I would like to kiss you...
I would like to kiss you...
But my heart doesn't tell me
To wake you up...
To wake you up!...
I would like to fall asleep...
I would like to fall asleep...
Close to you,
Just for an hour...
Just for an hour!...
