Tendernesses

Tenerezze
by Ferrucio Greco

Calabrese English
Nu paru d'anni, forse mancu, avie
mi ricuordu, ogne vota succedie
ca si ppe' ncunu dulure io ciangie
mamma intr'a vrazza sue mi stringie;

m'addimmannave addre mi dulie
e quannu gridannu io cciu' dicie
mi cce vasava: u chiantu finiscie
e u dulure passava e si nne jie.
Just a couple of years, maybe less, was I
I remember, every time it happened
that if for some pain I wept,
mamma would take me in her arms and embrace me;

She would ask me where it hurt
and when I loudly told her
she would kiss me there: the tears would end
and the pain would pass and it would go.
