Desiderio 'e sole [English translation]

How dark is the sky in this country!

The clouds are blacker here!

Our spring is another thing!

Who is far away from home, can't forget it!

The sun,

The sun is beautiful!

It rises, caresses you and goes down!

My love, my love,

The sadness grips my heart.

I never hear any song in this country,

I never hear any friendly voice!

My love, my love,

I'm dying of nostalgia!

Even a flower never can blossom in this country!

How I want the sun's heat!

Sun that splits the stones and warms the houses!

The day when you write me a letter

And give me a hope to see you again,

The sun will rise in this dark sky

And will give the heat to my heart!

My heart,

My stupid heart

That always suffers for you!

My love, my love,

The sadness grips my heart.

I never hear any song in this country,

I never hear any friendly voice!

My love, my love,

I'm dying of nostalgia!

Even a flower never can blossom in this country!

How I want the sun's heat!

Sun that splits the stones and warms the houses!
