Speak Softly, Love (Brucia la Terra) - "Love Theme from The Godfather" piano cover

"Speak Softly, Love" or "Brucia la Terra" in Sicilian is a popular song published in 1972, with music by Nino Rota and English lyrics by Larry Kusik. The song was first introduced as an instrumental theme in Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film The Godfather, based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name. The Sicilian lyrics were first used in The Godfather Part III (1990), when Michael Corleone's son Anthony sings it in honor of his father. English lyrics by Larry Kusik: Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all because You came into my world with love so softly love. Sicilian lyrics by Giuseppe Rinaldi: Brucia la luna n'cielu e ju bruciu d'amuri Focu ca si consuma comu lu me cori L'anima chianci, addulurata Non si da paci cchi sta mala nuttata Brucia la terra mia e abbrucia lu me cori Cchi siti d'acqua idda e ju siti d'amuri Lu tempu passa ma non agghiorna Non c'e mai suli, s'idda non torna Acu la cantu, la me canzuni? Si no c'e nuddu, ca s'a affacia a lu barcuni Brucia la terra mia e abbrucia lu me cori Chi siti d'acqua idda E ju siti d'amuri Acu la cantu la me canzuni? Si no c'e nuddu, ca s'a affacia.
