Salvatore Cardillo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salvatore Cardillo (18741947) was the Italian songwriter whose richly scored sentimental Napuletano classic "Core 'ngrato" ("Ungrateful heart") written in 1911 for Enrico Caruso, has remained a staple of the Italian tenor concert repertoire, famous in recordings by Corelli, Domingo, and Pavarotti.

The actor Dominic Chianese gave a rendition of "Core 'ngrato" on the third-season finale of The Sopranos.



Catari, Catari…
pecché me dici sti
parole amare,
pecché me parle
e 'o core me turmiente, Catari?
Nun te scurdà ca
t'aggio dato 'o core,
Catari, nun te scurdà!
Catari, Catari, ché vene a dicere
stu parlà ca me dà spaseme?
Tu nun'nce pienze a stu dulore mio,
tu nun'nce pienze,
tu nun te ne cure

Core, core 'ngrato,
t'aie pigliato 'a vita mia,
tutt'è passato e
nun'nce pienze chiù.



Catari, Catari...
tu nun 'o ssaje ca
fino e 'int'a na chiesa
io só' trasuto e aggiu
pregato a Dio, Catari.
E ll'aggio ditto pure a 'o cunfessore:
"Stó' a suffri pe' chella lla...
Stó' a suffri, stó' a suffri nun se pò credere...
stó' a suffri tutte li strazie!"
E 'o cunfessore, ch'è perzona santa,
mm'ha ditto: "Figliu mio
lassala sta, lassala sta!..."

Core, core 'ngrato,
t'aie pigliato 'a vita mia,
tutt'è passato e
nun'nce pienze chiù.



Tutt'è passato e
nun'nce pienze chiù!
