Giuvanne Cu 'A Chitarra - 2005 Digital Remaster

'A sera, 'ncoppe viche,
Cu 'a chitarra, scenne pe' Tulèto...
Tene 'a cravatta gialla
E na giacchetta cu 'a spaccata arreto...
'E scarpe a varchetella
E nu cazone fatto a zompafuosso...
E chi s'avota 'a ccá...
E chi s'avota 'a llá...
Guardánnolo 'e passá...
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra...
Pecché sape cantá tutte ccanzone.
E' stato 'nnammurato 'e na figliola
Che ll'ha lassato miezo scumbinato...
E porta 'e sserenate a 'e 'nnammurate:
Pe' ciento lire canta "Anema e core",
Pe' cincuciento fa ll'americano:
S'arrangia a 'mpapucchiá "Johnny Guitar"...
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra...
E pare 'o pazzariello de ccanzone!
Na sera fuje chiammato,
Pe' na festa, sott'a nu balcone
ô vico Scassacocchi...
Primmo piano, 'ncopp'a nu lampione:
'A mana lle tremmaje
'Sta serenata jéva a Margarita...
Cu 'sta chitarra ccá,
Tu mo che cante a fá?
Pe' chi se vò' spassá?
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra...
Pecché sape cantá tutte ccanzone.
'A cumitiva allèra e ll'emozione
'O fa cantá, chiagnenno, "Core 'ngrato"...
Pe' chistu pretendente ammartenato
Mo cade nu biglietto appassiunato...
E s'arricorda, quanno da 'o balcone,
Cadevano cucozze e 'nfamitá...
E canta po' Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra
Cu 'a vocca amara e cu na funa 'nganna...
Na sera pe' Tuleto
N'ombra scura saglie 'a coppe viche...
Giuvá' che ce vuó' fá?
'A vita è chesta ccá:
Cucozze e 'nfamitá!

Giovanni with the Guitar - 2005 Digital Remaster

In the evening, in the street,
With his guitar, he comes down to the neighborhood...
He wears a yellow tie
And a jacket with a split in the back...
He wears boat shoes
And a song made to skip a beat...
And some turn here...
And some turn there...
Watching him pass by...
They call him Giovanni with the guitar...
Because he knows how to sing all the songs.
He was once in love with a girl
Who left him half-starved...
And he serenades the lovers:
For a hundred lire he sings "Anema e core",
For five hundred he acts like an American:
He manages to butcher "Johnny Guitar"...
They call him Giovanni with the guitar...
And he's a regular juke box!
One night he was summoned
For a party, under a balcony
In the Vico Scassacocchi...
First floor, on a lamppost:
His hands were shaking
This serenade was for Margarita...
With this guitar here,
Why do you sing now? My dear.
Who do you want to entertain?
They call him Giovanni with the guitar...
Because he knows how to sing all the songs.
The cheerful crowd and the emotion
Make him sing, crying, "Core 'ngrato"...
For this unfortunate suitor
A passionate note now falls...
And he remembers when, from the balcony,
Zucchini and insults used to fall...
And then Giovanni with the guitar sings
With a bitter mouth and a choking voice...
One evening in the neighborhood
A dark shadow rises above the street...
Giovanni, what do you want to do?
This is life, my dear:
Zucchini and insults!
