Lyrics and translation Nino Taranto - Chella llà




Chella llà
Chella llà
St'ammore me teneva 'ncatenato
This love had me chained
Ma ho detto basta e mi so' liberato,
But I said enough and freed myself,
Me pare cchiu' turchino 'o mare
The sea seems bluer to me
Me pare cchiu' lucente 'o sole,
The sun seems brighter to me,
E core canta p'a felicità.
And my heart sings for joy.
Chella lla', chella lla'
That one there, that one there
Mo' va dicenno 'ca me vo' lassa'
Now she's saying she wants to leave me
Se crede 'ca me faccio 'o sangue amaro
She thinks I'm going to cry my heart out
Se crede 'ca 'mpazzisco e po' me sparo.
She thinks I'm going to go crazy and then shoot myself.
Chella lla', chella lla'
That one there, that one there
Nun sape che piacere 'ca me fa
She doesn't know how happy she's made me
Me ne piglio n'ata cchiu' bella
I'll find another one more beautiful
E zitella restarra'
And she'll stay an old maid
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'!
That one there!
Ajere m'ha mandato nu' biglietto
Yesterday she sent me a note
P'a figlia d'o purtiere di rimpetto
For the daughter of the doorman across the street
Me scrive ca nun è felice
She wrote me that she's not happy
E ca vurria cu 'mme fa' pace
And that she wants to make peace
Ma io me sto gustanno 'a liberta'.
But I'm enjoying freedom.
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Mo' va dicenno 'ca me vo' lassa'
Now she's saying she wants to leave me
Se crede 'ca me faccio 'o sangue amaro
She thinks I'm going to cry my heart out
Se crede 'ca 'mpazzisco e po' me sparo
She thinks I'm going to go crazy and then shoot myself
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Nun sape che piacere 'ca me fa
She doesn't know how happy she's made me
Me ne piglio nata cchiu' bella
I'll get another one, more beautiful
E zitella restarra'
And she'll stay an old maid
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'!
That one there!
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Nun sape che piacere 'ca me fa
She doesn't know how happy she's made me
Me ne piglio nata cchiu' bella
I'll get another one, more beautiful
E zitella restarra'
And she'll stay an old maid
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'!
That one there!
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'
That one there
Chella lla'!
That one there!
