Lyrics and translation Валерий Леонтьев - Tu vuo fa l'americano




Tu vuo fa l'americano
You Want to Be an American
Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto...
Pants with a logo on the back...
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata...
A cap with a visor raised...
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleto
You pass by Naples for Tuleto
Comm'a nuguappo, pe' se fa' guarda'...
Like a dandy, to get noticed...
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to be an American
Mericano, mericano...
American, American...
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Listen to me while I tell what you can do:
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 siente 'e disturba'...
You'll feel annoyed...
Tu abball' o' rocchenroll
You dance rock and roll
Tu giochi a baisiboll...
You play baseball...
Ma e solde p' è Ccamel
But for the Camel
Chi te li da
Who gives you the money?
La borsetta di mamma
Your mother's purse
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to be 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 do
Ok, napulitan!
Ok, Neapolitan!
Tu vuo' fa' ll'american
You want to be an American
Tu vuo' fa' ll'american!
You want to be an American!
Come te po' capi' chi te vo' bbene
How can someone who loves you understand you
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 do you say "I love you"?
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to be an American
Mericano, mericano...
American, American...
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Listen to me while I tell what you can do:
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 siente 'e disturba'...
You'll feel annoyed...
Tu abball' o' rocchenroll
You dance rock and roll
Tu giochi a baisiboll...
You play baseball...
Ma e solde p' è Ccamel
But for the Camel
Chi te li da
Who gives you the money?
La borsetta di mamma
Your mother's purse
Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
You want to be 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 do
Ok, napulitan!
Ok, Neapolitan!
Tu vuo' fa' ll'america
You want to be an American
Tu vuo' fa' ll'america
You want to be an American
Tu vuo' fa' ll'america!
You want to be an American!
