Question
I have fallen in love with the tune of "Oi Marie," but I cannot find
the English translation anywhere. Do you know an accurate
translation -- or can you translate your own Neapolitan lyrics?
By the way, I am neither a spammer nor homeworker nor tattoist.

Hello Henry,

You can see below my translation of the Neapolitan song lyrics Maria Mar by Russo (text) - Di Capua (music), also
known as Oi Mar from the first words of its refrain.
Please note that I put the original Neapolitan text into brackets so that you can see it.
Finally a little remark: the Neapolitan dialect is not standard Italian, as you certainly know, though they have the
same origin.
Best regards from Italy,
Maria
Open, o window!( Arpete fensta).
Let Mary appear,(famm' affacci a Maria)
As Im in the middle of the street(ca stongo mmiez' 'a via)
Hoping to see her!(speruto d''a ved).
I dont have a moment's peace (Nun trovo n'ora 'e pace)
I turn my night into day ('A nott' 'a faccio juorno),
To be always here (sempe pe st cc attuorno)
Hoping to talk to her!(speranno 'e ce parl!)

O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mari', oi Mari)

How much sleep I lose over you!(Quanta suonno ca perdo pe te)
Let me sleep (Famm' addurmi)
Just hugging you ! (abbracciato nu poco cu te)
O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mar, oi Mar)
How much sleep I lose over you! (Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te)
Let me sleep (Famm' addurm),
O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mar, oi Mar)
In the middle of this little garden ('Mmiez'a stu ciardeniello),
A hollyhock smiles at us ( ce ride 'a malvarosa...)
A bed of rose-petals (Nu lietto 'e fronne 'e rosa)
I made for you (aggio fatto pe' te...)
Come here as the night is sweet (Viene che 'a notte doce)
The sky is like a mantle( 'o cielo ch' nu manto...)
You are sleeping and Im singing (Tu duorme e io te canto)
A lullaby by your side ('a nanna a fianco a te...)
It seems that there is a small opening (Pare ca gi s'arape)
Of the window (na senga 'e fenestella)
Mary waves to me (Maria ca na manella
She waves to me!(nu segno a me me fa)
Play, my guitar ! (Sona, chitarra mia)
Mary woke up (Maria s' scetata)
A beautiful serenade (Na bella serenata)
Lets sing her !( facimmela sent).
O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mari', oi Mari)
How much sleep I lose over you! (Quanta suonno ca perdo pe te)
Let me sleep (Famm' addurmi)
Just hugging you ! (abbracciato nu poco cu te)
O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mar, oi Mar)
How much sleep I lose over you! (Quanta suonno ca perdo pe' te)
Let me sleep (Famm' addurm),
O Mary, O Mary! (Oi Mar, oi Mar)
