Paroles et traduction Domenico Modugno - Io mammeta e tu

Io mammeta e tu

Ti avevo detto
Dal primo appuntamento
'E nun purta' nisciuno appriesso a te...
Invece mo nu frato
Na sora, na nepote...
Sola nun staje na vota
Ascimmo sempre a tre!
E mi hai promesso
"Domani chi lo sa...
Vengo io soltanto...
Soltanto con mamma'!"
Io, mammeta e tu...
Passiammo pe' Tuledo
Nuje annanze e mammeta arreto...
Io mammeta e tu...
Sempre appriesso
Cose 'e pazze
Chesta vene pure 'o viaggio 'e nozze...
Jamm'o cinema, o abballa'...
Si cercammo 'e ce 'a squaglia'
Comm'a nu carabbiniere
Chella vene a ce afferra'... Ah... Ah...
Ma, 'nnammurato
So' rassignato
Non reagisco più...
Io, mammeta e tu!...
Io, mammeta e tu!...
Ma San Gennaro m'aveva fatto 'a grazia
Ll'ata matina
Nun ll'ha fatta aiza'
Teneva ll'uocchie 'e freve
Pareva ca schiattava
Io quase mme credevo
D'asci' sulo cu te...
Nu filo 'e voce
Pero', truvaje mamma'
"Da 'a piccerella
Ve faccio accumpagna'..."
Io, soreta e tu...
Jamm'o bar 'o Chiatamone
"Vuo' 'o cuppetto o vuo' 'o spumone?"
"Chello ca costa 'e cchiu'!"
Pe' ricordo 'e 'sta jurnata
Dint'a villa, ce hanno fatt'a foto...
Vuo' 'o pallone, vuo' 'o babba'
Nun se fida 'e cammena'...
Guardo a essa, guardo 'o mare...
Sto' penzanno 'e ce 'a mena'... Ah... Ah...
Ma, 'nnammurato
Sò rassignato
Non reagisco più
Io, sorete e tu
Io, sorete e tu
Amore mio, stai sempre cu i parenti
Che sta famiglia me pare na tribù
Arrivan da Milano, arrivan da l'Oriente
E tutta questa gente sta sempre attorno a me
Na vecchia zia ca steva a Cefalù
Venuta quà non se n'è iuta più
Io, ziate e tu
Poverina è sofferente
Ogni tanto nu svenimento
Io, ziate e tu
L' ova fresche, a muzzarella
Camminammo solo in carrozzella
Sto pagando qua e là
I denari chi m'è dà
Mo te lasso fra nu mese
Sto cercando a carità
Tu mm'e 'nguajato...
Me sposo a n'ata
Nun ve veco cchiù...
Mammeta, soreta e tu...
Pateto, frateto e tu...
Nonneta, zieta e tu...
Pateto, frateto
Nonneta, soreta,
Soreta, ziata,
Ziata, pateto,
Pateto, frateto,
Frateto, nonnata,
Nonnata, pateto,
O' cane!
Scusate giovino, io sono la bisnonna
So' tornata proprio mo' dall'ospedale

Me, Your Mom, and You

I told you,
From our very first date,
"Don't bring anyone with you..."
But now a brother,
A sister, a niece...
You're never alone,
We always go out as three!
And you promised me,
"Who knows about tomorrow...
I'll come alone...
Just with my mom!"
Me, your mom, and you...
We strolled down Toledo,
Us in front and your mom behind...
Me, your mom, and you...
Always close by,
It's crazy,
She's even coming on our honeymoon...
We go to the cinema or dancing,
If we try to sneak away,
Like a policeman,
She comes and grabs us... Ah... Ah...
But, in love,
I'm resigned,
I don't react anymore...
Me, your mom, and you!...
Me, your mom, and you!...
But Saint Gennaro granted me a favor,
The next morning,
She couldn't get up,
She had a fever,
It seemed like she was dying,
I almost believed
I'd go out alone with you...
A faint voice,
But, your mom found it,
"With the little one,
I'll accompany you..."
Me, your sister, and you...
We go to the Chiatamone bar,
"Do you want a small ice cream or a large one?"
"The one that costs the most!"
As a souvenir of this day,
In the villa, they took our picture...
She wants a balloon, she wants a doll,
She doesn't trust walking...
I look at her, I look at the sea...
I'm thinking of taking her there... Ah... Ah...
But, in love,
I'm resigned,
I don't react anymore,
Me, your sister, and you,
Me, your sister, and you,
My love, you're always with your relatives,
This family seems like a tribe,
They come from Milan, they come from the East,
And all these people are always around me,
An old aunt who was in Cefalù,
Came here and never left,
Me, your aunt, and you,
Poor thing, she's suffering,
Every now and then she faints,
Me, your aunt, and you,
Fresh eggs, mozzarella,
We only walk in a wheelchair,
I'm paying here and there,
Who will give me money?
Now I'll leave you in a month,
I'm looking for charity,
You've gotten me in trouble...
I'm marrying someone else,
I won't see you anymore...
Your mom, your sister, and you...
Your dad, your brother, and you...
Your grandma, your aunt, and you...
Your dad, your brother,
Your grandma, your sister,
Your sister, your aunt,
Your aunt, your dad,
Your dad, your brother,
Your brother, your grandma,
Your grandma, your dad,
The dog!
Excuse me young man, I'm the great-grandmother,
I just got back from the hospital
