Grande performance de Beniamino Gigli ao interpretar o clássico de Giambattista De Curtis (G. de Curtis), denominado Carmela, de 1894..

Linda letra e bela melodia nesta canção que se tornaria um clássico da música popular napotitana.

A letra foi feita em homenagem a uma bela jovem que De Curtis conhecera em um Hotel em Sorrento, e que carregava um cesto com fruta, a quem brincando perguntou o que ela fazia, além de carregar aquela cesta.

A jovem respondeu alegre e com grande senso de humor que também dormia. E aí nasceu a música.

Great performance of Gigli on singing this beautiful song, composed by G. De Curtis.

This composition was based in real fact, when G. De Curtis, during hostage in a Sorrento Hotel, met a beautiful girl that was loading a basket of fruit in his arms, and asked her:

"What do you do besides to load fruit?"
For his surprise, the girl replied with great smile and mood sense:

I also sleep.

Gigli in one of his great performance.

Carmela
(G. de Curtis - 1894)

Fore mura ce sta na picciotta,
'mmiez'ê spine s'ha fatto na casa,
'ncopp' 'e ffronne s'addorme la notte
e na rosa cchiù bella nun c'è.

Duorme, Carmè,
'o cchiù bello d' 'a vita è 'o ddurmí.
Sònnate a me,
'mparaviso cu tico vogl'í.

Nu vasciello venette 'a luntano,
e pusaje a Surriento na Fata,
'ncopp' 'o scoglio addó' sta Tramuntano,
'mparaviso stu sito nun c'è.

Viene, Carmè',
t'arricuorde? 'Sta fata tu si'.
Torna cu me,
'ncopp''o scoglio vulimmo murí.

Carmela Translation
(G. de Curtis)

Out of the walls, there is a girl
In the middle of the thorn there is a house
On the leaves sleeps the night
And a rose more beautiful there is not

Sleep CARMELA
The more beautiful thing in the life is to sleep
Dream of me
In paradise I want to walk with you

A ship come from distant
And it left in Sorrento a fairy
On the reef where is Tramontano
In paradise there is not this place

Come here Carmela,
Do you remind? This fairy is you
Come with me
On the reef I want to die
