Lyrics and translation Nino Taranto - Chella llà

Chella llà

St'ammore me teneva 'ncatenato
Ma ho detto basta e mi so' liberato,
Me pare cchiu' turchino 'o mare
Me pare cchiu' lucente 'o sole,
E core canta p'a felicità.
Chella lla', chella lla'
Mo' va dicenno 'ca me vo' lassa'
Se crede 'ca me faccio 'o sangue amaro
Se crede 'ca 'mpazzisco e po' me sparo.
Chella lla', chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere 'ca me fa
Me ne piglio n'ata cchiu' bella
E zitella restarra'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'!
Ajere m'ha mandato nu' biglietto
P'a figlia d'o purtiere di rimpetto
Me scrive ca nun è felice
E ca vurria cu 'mme fa' pace
Ma io me sto gustanno 'a liberta'.
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Mo' va dicenno 'ca me vo' lassa'
Se crede 'ca me faccio 'o sangue amaro
Se crede 'ca 'mpazzisco e po' me sparo
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere 'ca me fa
Me ne piglio nata cchiu' bella
E zitella restarra'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'!
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere 'ca me fa
Me ne piglio nata cchiu' bella
E zitella restarra'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'!
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'!

Chella llà

This love had me chained
But I said enough and freed myself,
The sea seems bluer to me
The sun seems brighter to me,
And my heart sings for joy.
That one there, that one there
Now she's saying she wants to leave me
She thinks I'm going to cry my heart out
She thinks I'm going to go crazy and then shoot myself.
That one there, that one there
She doesn't know how happy she's made me
I'll find another one more beautiful
And she'll stay an old maid
That one there
That one there
That one there!
Yesterday she sent me a note
For the daughter of the doorman across the street
She wrote me that she's not happy
And that she wants to make peace
But I'm enjoying freedom.
That one there
That one there
Now she's saying she wants to leave me
She thinks I'm going to cry my heart out
She thinks I'm going to go crazy and then shoot myself
That one there
That one there
She doesn't know how happy she's made me
I'll get another one, more beautiful
And she'll stay an old maid
That one there
That one there
That one there!
That one there
That one there
She doesn't know how happy she's made me
I'll get another one, more beautiful
And she'll stay an old maid
That one there
That one there
That one there!
That one there
That one there
That one there
That one there
That one there
That one there
That one there
That one there
That one there!
