Munastero e Santa Chiara
Roberto Murolo
Monastery of Santa Chiara
Tomorrow?...but I wanted to leave tonight!
Far away, no...I can't resist anymore!
They say only the sea remains,
It's the same as before...that blue sea!
Monastery of Santa Chiara...
I have a dark, dark heart...
But why, why every evening,
I think of Naples as it was,
I think of Naples as it is now?!
Fountain of Capemonte,
This heart is breaking,
When I hear people say
That this town has become a mess,
This town...but why?
No...it's not true
No...I won't believe it
And I die with this urge to return to Naples
But what should I do?
I'm scared to go back!
Scared? yes...if it were all true?
If people had told the truth?
All the wealth of Naples was the heart!
They say even that is lost now!
Monastery of Santa Chiara
Closed within four walls,
How many sincere women,
Lost their love,
Got married to Jesus!
Fountain of Capemonte
Now, they lose a lover,
They already have another hundred,
Because, an innocent woman,
People say, there's no more!
And I die with this urge to return to Naples!
But what should I do...
I'm scared to go back!
