Lyrics and translation Melania - Tu Vuo Fa L'americano




Tu Vuo Fa L'americano
You Want to Act Like an American
Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto
You wear pants with a crest on the back
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata
A cap with the brim turned up
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleto
You walk around Naples like a tough guy
Comm'a nuguappo, pe' se fa' guarda'
Just to attract attention
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to act like an American
Mericano, mericano (mericano)
American, American (American)
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Listen to me, who's making you do it?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
You want to live in style
Ma se bevi "whisky and soda"
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
Po' te siente 'e disturba' (disturba')
You'll start to feel sick (sick)
E abball' o' rocchenroll
You dance rock and roll
E giochi a baisiboll
And you play baseball
Ma e solde p' è Ccamel
But the money for the Camel
Chi te li da?
Who gives it to you?
La borsetta di mamma
Your mother's purse
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to act like an American
Mericano, mericano
American, American
Ma si' nato in Italy
But you were born in Italy
Sient' a mme: nun ce sta niente 'a fa'
Listen to me: there's nothing to be done
Ok, napulitan
Okay, Neapolitan
Tu vuo' fa' ll'american
You want to act like an American
Tu vuo' fa' ll'american
You want to act like an American
Come te po' capi' chi te vo' bbene
How can anyone who loves you understand
Si tu lle parle miezo americano?
If you speak to them in half-American?
Quanno se fa ll'ammore sott' 'a luna
When you make love under the moon
Comme te vene 'ncapa 'e di' "I love you"?
How does it come into your head to say "I love you"?
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to act like an American
Mericano, mericano (mericano)
American, American (American)
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Listen to me, who's making you do it?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
You want to live in style
Ma se bevi "whisky and soda"
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
Po' te siente 'e disturba' (disturba')
You'll start to feel sick (sick)
E abball' o' rocchenroll
You dance rock and roll
E giochi a baisiboll
And you play baseball
Ma e solde p' è Ccamel

Chi te li da?
Who gives it to you?
La borsetta di mamma
Your mother's purse

You want to act like an American
