Lyrics and translation Marco Calliari - L'Americano




L'Americano
The American
Puorte 'e cazune cu 'nu stemma arreto
Doors of houses with a crest behind
'Na cuppulella c'a visiera aizata
A cap with the peak turned up
Passe scampanianno pe' Tuleto
A Neapolitan walks through Toledo
Comme a 'nu guappo pe' te fa guardà!
Like a handsome man makes you look!
Tu vuò fa l'americano!
You want to be an American!
Mmericano! Mmericano
American! American
Siente a me, chi t'o fa fà?
Listen to me, who makes you do it?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
You want to live in fashion
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Po' te sente 'e disturbà
Then you feel disturbed
Tu abballe 'o roccheroll
You dance rock'n'roll
Tu giochi a baseball
You play baseball
Ma 'e sorde pe' Camel
But the money for Camel
Chi te li dà?
Who gives it to you?
La borsetta di mammà!
Your momma's purse!
Tu vuò fa l'americano
You want to be an American
Mmericano! Mmericano
American! American
Ma sei nato in Italy!
But you were born in Italy!
Siente a mme
Listen to me
Nun ce sta niente 'a ffà
There's nothing to do
Okay, napoletan!
Okay, Neapolitan!
Tu vuò fa l'american!
You want to be an American!
Tu vuò fa l'american!
You want to be an American!
Comme te po' capì chi te bene
How can someone who loves you understand you
Si tu lle parle 'mmiezzo americano?
If you speak to them in American?
Quando se fa l'ammore sott'a luna
When you make love under the moon
Comme te vene 'capa e di': "I love you"?
How do you have the nerve to say, "I love you"?
Tu vuò fa l'americano
You want to be an American
Mmericano! Mmericano
American! American
Siente a me, chi t'o fa fà?
Listen to me, who makes you do it?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
You want to live in fashion
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
But if you drink whiskey and soda
Po' te sente 'e disturbà
Then you feel disturbed
Tu abballe 'o roccheroll
You dance rock'n'roll
Tu giochi a baseball
You play baseball
Ma 'e sorde pe' Camel
But the money for Camel
Chi te li dà?
Who gives it to you?
La borsetta di mammà!
Your momma's purse!
Tu vuò fa l'americano
You want to be an American
Mmericano! Mmericano
American! American
Ma sei nato in Italy!
But you were born in Italy!
Siente a mme

Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda and rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda... rock'n'roll
Whiskey and soda... rock'n'roll
