TEXTO IN NEAPOLITAN DIALECT
TRE ROSE
Testi: Gigi Pisano
Sound: Giuseppe Cioffi
Tre rose, te dette, tre rose
Ogni rosa parlava d´ammore
Tre rose, e dicette a ´stu core
´E truvato ´na sposa pe´ tte
Ma è triste ´o destino d´ ´e rrose,
E chiù triste è ´o destino pe´ mme:
´O ssaccio,
´O ssaccio
Me lasse
e te pierde ... Marì
Ah
Se so´ sfrunnate `e rrose
Ah..
Te si scurdata ´e me.
Ma ´stu core mio me dice
Spera ... Maria ritorna a tte.
Tre rose, me diste, tre rose
Ogni rosa ´na spina ce steva.
Tre rose, e ´na spina teneva
´O veleno annascuso pe´me.
Veleno che´ tocca e distrugge
E ha distrutta ´sta vita...pecchè
Me lasse,
Me lasse,
´O ssaccio e me sento ´e murì.
Ah
Se so´ sfrunnate ´e rrose
Ah...
Te si scurdata ´e me
Ma ´stu core mio me dice:
Spera,....Maria ritorna a tte.

LYRICS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
THREE ROSES
Lyrics: Gigi Pisano
Music: Giuseppe Cioffi
Three roses, I gave you three roses,
And each rose was speaking of love
Three roses, and I said to my heart
You have found the bride for you!
But is sad the destiny of three roses
And my fate is even sadder
I know it
I know it
You will leave me and
I will lose you....Maria
Ah
If the roses loose the leaves
Ah
You have forgotten me
But my this hear tells me
Hope ...... Maria will come back to you.
Three roses you gave me, three roses
Each rose had a thorn.
Three roses, and a thorn held
With a hidden poison for me
A poison that touches and destroys
And destroyed my life, because
You will leave me and
I will lose you....Maria
I know it and I want to die
Ah
The roses have lost their leaves
Ah
You have forgotten me
But my heart tell me
Hope ..... Maria will come back to you
