The famous classical tenor Roberto Alagna, a Sicilian, singing an old Sicilian song: And you're still sleeping...E vui durmiti ancora, a Sicilian serenade song
I'm sorry, but the English just doesn't do justice to the beauty and tenderness of the original.
The sun is already rising in the sea,
and you my beautiful one, are still sleep.
The birds are tired of singing
and are chilled as they wait here outside.
They set themselves down on this little balcony
and wait for the moment that you appear.
Without you the flowers have no life
and all dangle their petals down,
each one of them not wanting to blossom.
Until you open this balcony door,
the buds will hide themselves inside the petals
and wait for you to you appear.
Enough ... don't sleep any more!
In the midst of them, behind this street
I also wait for you ....
and in order to see your face, so beautiful,
I pass by outside here every night
and wait for the moment that you appear.
