The moment that our eyes first met,

’O mumento ca ll’uocchie nuoste s’incontrajeno,

The whole world disappeared,

’O munno sano sparette,

In one breath, I saw forever,

Int’a nu respiro, vedette pe sempe,

And suddenly, you were here.

E tutt’a nu tratto, tu stive ccà.

There was something in your smile, love,

Ce steva cocche cosa dint’ô surriso tuo, ammore,

Like a place I’d always known,

Comme nu posto ca avevo sempe cunusciuto,

And from that day, my Biontina,

E a chillo juorno, Biontina mia,

I would never walk alone.

Nun camminavo cchiù sulamente.

We were young, but somehow our hearts knew

Erammo giuvane, ma ’e core nuoste già sapevano

What the passing years would prove…

Chello ca ll’anne avarrieno dimustrato…

Biontina, you are my rock,

Biontina, tu sì ’a roccia mia,

My reason, my everything,

’A raggione mia, tutte cose pe mme,

The steady hands that held me close

’E mmane sicure ca m’hanno astritto

Through every storm that life could bring.

Dint’a ogne tempesta ca ’a vita puteva purtà.

And after fifty years beside you,

E doppo cinquant’anne affianco a te,

My heart still beats the way it did then,

’O core mio votte ancora comme tannu,

I will love you through this lifetime,

T’aggio amà pe tutta sta vita,

And I’ll find you in the next again.

E te truvarraggio n’ata vota dint’a chella appriesso.

We built a life from faith and courage,

Nuie avimmo custruito na vita cu ’a fede e ’o curaggio,

From sacrifice and dreams,

Cu sacrificio e suonne,

And even when the road was broken,

E pure quanno ’a via era spezzata,

You kept believing in me.

Tu cuntinuave a credere ’n me.

We have carried one another

Ce simmo purtate l’uno cu ll’ata

Through the darkness and the pain,

Mmiez’ô scuro e ô dulore,

And every time the world tried to break us,

E ogne vota ca ’o munno pruvava a spezzarce,

We rose together once again.

Nzieme ce simmo aizate n’ata vota.

Every line upon our faces

Ogne segno ncopp’ê facce nostre

Tells the story of a love that time could never change…

Conta ’a storia ’e n’ammore ca ’o tiempo nun puteva maje cagnà…

Biontina, you are my rock,

Biontina, tu sì ’a roccia mia,

My reason, my everything,

’A raggione mia, tutte cose pe mme,

The steady hands that held me close

’E mmane sicure ca m’hanno astritto

Through every storm that life could bring.

Dint’a ogne tempesta ca ’a vita puteva purtà.

And after fifty years beside you,

E doppo cinquant’anne affianco a te,

My heart still beats the way it did then,

’O core mio votte ancora comme tannu,

I will love you through this lifetime,

T’aggio amà pe tutta sta vita,

And I’ll find you in the next again.

E te truvarraggio n’ata vota dint’a chella appriesso.

If I were given a thousand lives,

Si me dessero mille vite,

I would choose you every time,

Te scegliarria ogne vota,

I would search through every endless night

Te cercarria pe ogne notte senza fine

Until your eyes met mine.

Fin’a quanno ll’uocchie tuoie s’incontrassero cu ’e mie.

And when this world can hold us no longer,

E quanno stu munno nun ce po’ tené cchiù,

When heaven calls us home,

Quanno ’o cielo ce chiamma a casa,

Listen for my voice, Biontina,

Siente ’a voce mia, Biontina,

You will never be alone.

Nun sarraje maje sola.

Biontina, you are my rock,

Biontina, tu sì ’a roccia mia,

The greatest part of who I am,

’A parte cchiù bella ’e chello ca songo,

You gave your heart, you gave your life,

M’hê dato ’o core, m’hê dato ’a vita,

And made me a better man.

E m’hê fatto addeventà n’ommo meglio.

Fifty years could never be enough

Cinquant’anne nun putarranno maje bastà

For a love that has no end,

Pe n’ammore ca nun tene fine,

So I will love you through this lifetime,

Accussì t’aggio amà pe tutta sta vita,

And I’ll find you in the next again.

E te truvarraggio n’ata vota dint’a chella appriesso.

Yes, I will love you through this lifetime,

Sì, t’aggio amà pe tutta sta vita,

With every breath inside my chest,

Cu ogne respiro dint’ô pietto mio,

You were my first glimpse of forever,

Tu fuste ’a primma visione ’e ll’eternità,

You will be my last request.

Tu sarraje ll’urdemo desiderio mio.

When my final day has found me

Quanno sarrà arrivato ll’urdemo juorno mio

And I leave this world behind,

E lasso stu munno arreto,

I’ll be waiting there, Biontina,

T’aspettarraggio llà, Biontina,

For your eyes to meet with mine.

Pecché ll’uocchie tuoie s’incontrino cu ’e mie.

In this life and in the next one,

Dint’a sta vita e dint’a chella appriesso,

Wherever our souls may be,

Addó ce portano ll’aneme nostre,

With all my heart, for all of time,

Cu tutt’ô core, pe tutt’ô tiempo,

You will be the life in me.

Tu sarraje ’a vita dint’a me.
