'O Surdato 'Nnamurato (A Soldier in Love) in English/Neapolitan by Amanda Pascali

One of the oldest universities in the world, Federico II in Naples, established in 1224, asked me to perform a Neapolitan song translation for their annual Fulbright meeting. Being a Fulbright fellow myself, I gladly accepted and got to work on translating one of the most beautiful Neapolitan songs in my opinion.
This is 'O Surdato 'Nnamurato (in Neapolitan language, A Soldier in Love). The Neapolitan words were written by Aniello Califano and the music was composed by Enrico Cannio in 1915. The song describes the sadness of a soldier who is fighting at the front during World War I, and who pines for his beloved. The English lyrics were written by me in 2024

Stumbled across you years ago, and enjoyed your content ever since. As a younger person, you include some music that isn't contemporary. Thank you for sharing.
