El gran tenor napolitano Fernando De Lucia (1860 - 1925) interpreta esta hermosa canción anónima, inspirada en una de las historias de amor más tristes y apasionadas de todos los tiempos, el romance entre la bella Caterina La Grua Talamanca, esposa de Don Vincenzo Barone di Carini, y Ludovico Vernagallo, que terminó trágicamente con la muerte de Caterina a manos de su propio padre.

Fenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce...
sign'è ca nénna mia stace malata...
S'affaccia la surella e mme lu dice:
Nennélla toja è morta e s'è atterrata...
Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata...

  • is this italian? can someone tell me what the song is about??

  • De Lucia, uno stupendo strumento vocale emesso con una raffinatezza fuori dal mondo.

    Uno fra i più grandi esempi artistici della Napoli che fu.

  • Un angel canto en la Tierra !!! Maravillosa voz.

  • Que maravilla escuchar estas melodias en la voz de un cantante superior.

  • Now THIS is great singing.......no shouting, no manufactured tone, or artifice, simply a sincere unfussed performance of a beautiful Neapolitan song, brought gloriously to life by the unhurried thoughtfulness of a fine musical intelligence infused with warmth, dignity and humanity. Thank you for this posting.

  • E pensare che era un mio prozio e non ne sapevo nulla fino a pochi anni fa....porto lo stesso cognome infatti..

  • Fenesta ca lucive e mò nun luce

    segn' è ca nenna mia stace malata.

    S'affaccia la surella e me lu dice:

    "Nennella toja è morta e s'è atterrata.

    Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola

    mò dorme cu li muorte accumpagnata."

  • You are right - De Lucia was baritonal but not a bass. Michael Henstock choses this key - a semitone too low in many people's opinion (and mine)

  • Buen dìa,

    Seria posible escribir todo el testo ?

    Gracias

  • This is the best rendition I ever heard. De Lucia is truly unsurpassable, especially for his "pianissimo", so wistful and tender. But I have my doubts about the speed at which the old 78rpm has been remastered. Here his voice sounds almost baritonal. De Lucia 1902 version with piano accompaniment (G&T) is even better.

    Thanks for sharing.
