Paroles et traduction Domenico Modugno - O Ccafe

O Ccafe

O latte é buono e a ciucculat é doce
E pur a cammumill bene fa
Rinfresca l'orzo, e o vin fa felic
E sul l'acqua a sete fa passà

Ma nu milion e ggent
E Napule comm'e me
Nu' vonn sapè niente
E campn c'o ccafèè

Ah ch bellu cafè
Sulo a Napule 'o sanno fa'
E nisciuno se spiega pecché
È 'na vera specialità!

Ah che addoee 'e cafè
Ca se sente pe' 'sta città
E o nervuso, nervuso comm'è
Ogni tanto s'o va piglià

Quanno nasce tu siente 'o bebè
Che dice "ngue ngue, nu poc 'e cafè"
E l'inglese se scorda d'o thè
Se viene a sapè nespresso che d'è

Ah ch bellu cafè
Sulo a Napule o sanno fa'
E accussi s'è spiegato 'o pecchè
Ca pe' tutta a jurnata
'Na tazza, poi n'ata, s'attacca, se scarfa
Se beve o cafè

Pe vevere o cafè se trova 'a scusa
Je offro a 'n ato offre a mme
Nisciuno dice "no" pecchè è n'offesa
Sò già sei tazze e songhe appena 'e tre

Ma mentre faccio 'o cunto
N' amico me chiama: "Ue"
E fermete nu momento
E vevimecce nu cafè

Ah ch bellu cafè
Sulo a Napule o sanno fa'
E accussi s'è spiegato 'o pecchè
È 'na vera specialità!

Ah che addoee 'e cafè
Ca se sente pe' 'sta città
E o nervuso, nervuso comm'è
Ogni tanto s'o va piglià

Quanno nasce tu siente 'o bebè
Che dice "ngue ngue, nu poc 'e cafè"
E l'inglese se scorda d'o thè
Se viene a sapè nespresso che d'è

Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E accussi' s'e' spiegato ppecche'
Ca pe' tutta jurnata
Na tazza po' n'ata
S'accatta se scarfa e
Se veve 'o ccafe'
Che bello
'O ccafe' eh

O Ccafe

The milk is good and the chocolate is sweet
And even the chamomile is good for you
Orzo is refreshing, and wine makes you happy
And over water, thirst passes

But a million people
In Naples are like me
They don't want to know anything
And they live with coffee

Ah what beautiful coffee
Only in Naples do they know how to make it'
And no one can explain why
It is a real specialty!

Ah what a scent of coffee
That is felt in this city
And the nervous one, as nervous as he is
Every so often he goes to get it

When you are born you hear the baby
Who says "ngue ngue, a little bit of coffee
And the Englishman forgets about tea
If nespresso came to know what it is

Ah what beautiful coffee
Only in Naples do they know how to make it'
And thus is explained the reason
Because throughout the day
A cup, then another, you get attached, you get warm
You drink coffee

To drink coffee you find an excuse
I offer some, another offers to me
No one says "no" because it's an offense
I'm already at six cups and it's only three

But while I'm doing the math
A friend calls me: "Hey"
And stop a moment
And let's have a coffee

Ah what beautiful coffee
Only in Naples do they know how to make it'
And thus is explained the reason
It is a real specialty!

Ah what a scent of coffee
That is felt in this city
And the nervous one, as nervous as he is
Every so often he goes to get it

When you are born you hear the baby
Who says "ngue ngue, a little bit of coffee
And the Englishman forgets about tea
If nespresso came to know what it is

Ah! how beautiful coffee is!
Only in Naples do they know how to make it'
And thus is explained the reason
Because throughout the day
A cup and then another
You get it, you get warm, and
You drink coffee
How beautiful
Coffee, oh
