Fortunato (Remastered 2008)

Furtunato
Tene 'a rrobba bella
E pe' chesto adda allucca'
è 'na vita ca pazzeja
P'e vie 'e chesta città.
Saluta 'e ffemmene
A'ncoppa 'e barcune
Viecchie, giuvene e
Guagliune
Ce sta chi dice ca è l'anema
'E chesta città.
Furtunato tene 'a rrobba
Bella
Furtunato tene 'a rrobba
Bella
Furtunato tene 'a rrobba
Bella.
Nun è cchiù comme 'na vota
Ma ogne tanto se fa senti'
Cu' chella voce ca trase
Dinto 'o core e te fa murì.
Cagnano 'e ffemmene
Cagnano 'e barcune
E isso saluta senza penza'.
Napule è comme 'na vota
Ma nuje dicimmo ca adda
Cagna'.
Furtunato tene 'a rrobba
Bella
Furtunato tene 'a rrobba
Bella
Furtunato tene 'a rrobba
Bella.

Fortunate (Remastered 2008)

Fortunate,
Your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures;
Your life's a wild fiesta,
Walking in this city's era.
You're greeted by hot women,
On the fine fishing boats,
Where young and old men,
And little ones roam.
Some say that you are,
The soul of this town.
Fortunate, your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures.
Fortunate, your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures.
Fortunate, your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures.
It's not as great as it once was,
But every now and then you'll see,
That voice that sinks
Deep inside your soul and kills you.
The women change,
The boats change,
And he greets them without a thought.
Naples is the same as ever,
But we want to say it,
It has to change.
Fortunate, your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures.
Fortunate, your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures.
Fortunate, your handsome features,
Are worth endless treasures.
