'O ccaffè (Remastered)

'O ccafe'
'O llatte è bbuono
E 'a ciucculata è ddoce
Eppure 'a cammumilla bbene fa
Rinfresca ll'orzo e 'o vino fa felice
E sulo ll'acqua 'a sete fa passa'
Ma 'nu milione 'e ggente
'E Napule comm'a mme
Nun vonno sape' niente
E campano...
Co ccafe'...
Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E nisciuno se spiega pecche'
E' 'na vera specialita' ah
Ah! c'a ddore 'e ccafe'
Ca se sente pe' 'sta citta'
E 'o nervuso nervuso comm'e'
Ogni tanto so vva a piglia'
Comme nasce tu siente 'o bebbe'
Ca dice: "Ngue ngue'
'Nu poco 'e ccafe'!"
E ll'Inglese se scorda do the'
Si vene a sape'
N'espresso che d'e'
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'
Pe' vevere 'o ccafe'
Se trova 'a scusa:
Io ll'offro a 'n'ato
E 'n'ato ll'offre a me...
Nisciuno dice "no"
Pecche' è n'offesa:
So' gia' sei tazze
E so'nghe appena 'e ttre...
Ma mentre faccio 'o cunto
N'amico mme chiamma: "Gue'
E fermate nu mumento e
Vevimmoce nu... cafe'!"...
Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E accussi' s'e' spiegato ppecche'
E' 'na vera specialita' ah
Ah! c'a ddore 'e ccafe'
Ca se sente pe' 'sta citta'
E 'o nervuso nervuso comm'e'
Ogni tanto so vva a piglia'
Comme nasce tu siente 'o bebbe'
Ca dice: "Ngue' ngue'
'Nu poco 'e ccafe'!"
E ll'Inglese se scorda do the'

Ca pe' tutta jurnata
Na tazza po' n'ata
S'accatta se scarfa e
Se veve 'o ccafe'...
Che bello...
'O ccafe' eh

'O ccaffe' (Remastered)

The Coffee
The milk is good
And the chocolate is sweet
Yet chamomile is good
Barley refreshes and wine makes you happy
And only water can quench your thirst
But a million people
From Naples like me
Don't want to know anything
And they live...
With coffee...
Oh! how beautiful coffee is!
Only in Naples do they know how to make it
And no one can explain why
It's a real specialty, oh
Oh! the scent of coffee
That is felt throughout this city
And the nervous are nervous as they are
Every now and then they go to get some
As soon as you're born, you hear the sound
That says: "Ngue ngue'
A little coffee!"
And the Englishman forgets the tea
If he comes to know
What an espresso can give you
Oh! how beautiful coffee is!
Only in Naples do they know how to make it
And so it's explained why
That for the whole day
One cup after another
Is bought, warmed up and
Coffee is drunk
To drink coffee
An excuse is found:
I offer it to another
And another offers it to me...
No one says "no"
Because it's an offense:
There are already six cups
And there are barely three of them...
But while I'm counting
A friend calls me: "Hey
Stop a moment and
Let's have a... coffee!"...
Oh! how beautiful coffee is!
Only in Naples do they know how to make it
And so it's explained why
It's a real specialty, oh
Oh! the scent of coffee
That is felt throughout this city
And the nervous are nervous as they are
Every now and then they go to get some
As soon as you're born, you hear the sound
That says: "Ngue' ngue'
A little coffee!"
And the Englishman forgets the tea
If he comes to know
What an espresso can give you
Oh! how beautiful coffee is!
Only in Naples do they know how to make it
And so it's explained why
That for the whole day
One cup after another
Is bought, warmed up and
Coffee is drunk...
How beautiful...
The coffee
