Window with these new blinds, all radiant with tacks of gold - you hide from me my beautiful Nennarella. Let me see her; if not, I will die.

Let me see her; if not, I will die. Let me see her; if not, I will die. English translation © 2014 Dennis Criteser The tradition of Neapolitan songs has its roots in the 13th century, and came into full bloom in the period from 1830-1950, when an annual song competition would honor the best song each year. Between 1963 and 1965, Roberto Murolo released a 12-album anthology of Neapolitan songs ranging from 1200 through the early 1960s. Volume 1 included songs from the 13th through the 18th centuries.
