Lovely!! Thanks Galata. :)

"Waves of the Danube", written by the Romanian composer Ivanovici.

I had first heard this piece in a Kusturica film, played by the accordion.
I can't get it out of my head since.

The accordeion is definitely a great instrument, I don't understand why did it go out of fashion:

O SARRACINO
Literally, The Saracene
(meaning a dark-skinned boy)

Tene 'e capille ricce ricce...
He has very curly hair
Ll'uocchie 'e brigante e 'o sole 'nfaccia...
The eyes of a brigand, the sun on his face

Ogne figliola s'appiccia si 'o vede 'e passá...
Every .... gets on fire looking at him passing by...

Na sigaretta 'mmocca...
A sigarette in his mouth
Na mana dint''a sacca...
A hand into his pocket
e se ne va, smargiasso, pe' tutt''a cittá...
he goes around arrogantly through the town

o sarracino, o sarracino
bellu guaglione!
beautiful boy
O sarracino,
o sarracino,
tutt''e ffemmene fa suspirá...
Every ..... breathes/sighs for him

E' bello 'e faccia,
He has a beautiful face
è bello 'e core:
He has a fine heart
sape fá 'ammore...
He knows how to make love
E' malandrino,
He is a scamp
è tentatore...
He is a tempter
Si 'o guardate ve fa 'nnammurá.
If you look at him, you fall in love.

E na bionda s'avvelena,
A blonde poisons herself
e na bruna se ne more...
A brunette dies for him...
E' veleno o calamita?
It is a poison, or a calamity?
Chisto a 'e ffemmene che lle fa?
This guy, what does he do to women?


Ma na rossa, ll'ata sera,
But a red ...., the other night
cu nu vaso e cu na scusa,
with a kiss, and with a plea
t'ha arrubbato anema e core!
stole your soul and heart
Sarracino nun si' cchiù tu!...
Sarracino, you are no more the same one...

In order to have you

Girasoli a testa in giù
Sunflowers with the head towards the ground
avviliti, come me
hopeless, just like me
come posso immaginare
how can I imagine
tutta la vita senza te
the whole life without you
per averti
in order to have you
farei di tutto
I'd do anything
tranne perdere la stima di me stesso
except losing my self esteem
e se è questo
and if it's that
che tu mi chiedi
what you're asking me to do
io ti perdo ma stavolta resto in piedi
I lose you, but this time I stay on my feet (I'm standing)
anche se qui dentro me qualcosa muore
even if something is dying inside of me

si per averti - per averti
yes, in order to have you - to have you
farei di tutto
I'd do anything
ma rinuncio con dolore
but I'm giving up with pain in my heart
si per averti - farei di tutto
yes, in order to have you - I'd do anything
ma non ti voglio, non ti voglio
but I don't want you, I don't want you
senza amore.
without love (without you loving me).

Tu due cuori non li hai
You don't have two hearts
e a me non basta la metà
and one half is not enough for me
se tu scegliere non sai
if you don't know how to choose
scelgo io che male fa...
I'll choose for you, what's the difference...

Ma senza voglia
But without desire
e senza futuro
and without a future
vado incontro tutto solo a un cielo nero.
I fight all alone against a black sky.

Io non mi vendo
I'm not selling myself
ma sto morendo
but I'm dying
morsicato da un serpente e senza siero
bitten by a snake and without a (healing) serum
disperato ma però un uomo vero.
desperate, but at least I'm a real man.

Si per averti farei di tutto
Yes, in order to have you, I'd do anything
ma non voglio avere un animo più brutto
but I don't wanna have an uglier heart
si per averti farei di tutto
Yes, in order to have you, I'd do anything
tranne perdere la stima di me stesso
except losing my self esteem.

But Love, No

But love, no
my love can not
gone with the wind like roses
so strong to not give up,
to not die.

I'll watch over it,
I'll protect it
from all those poisonous ambushes
that tear the heart out,
poor love.

Maybe you will go
to look for other caresses
poor me!
And if you'll come back
you'll find every beauty already flowered
in me.

But love, no
my love can not
dissolve in the hair's gold
till the end, love will remain alive in me,
just for you.

Looking at the roses bloom this morning,
I think, tomorrow will be dried.
And all the things
are like roses,
living one day,
an hour and no more!

Maybe you will go
to look for other caresses
poor me!
And if you'll come back
you'll find every beauty already flowered
in me.

But love, no
my love can not
dissolve in the hair's gold
till the end, love will remain alive in me,
just for you.
