Paroles et traduction Mario Merola - Chiamate Napoli 081

Chiamate Napoli 081

Pronto Nannì me siente?
So' salvatore
Aggio telefonato
Stevo 'npenziero
Voglio sape' 'e guagliun
E guagliun stann buon?

Me stanno turmentanno
E male pensiere
Comm è amaro a sta luntano
Quanno tiene na' famiglia
Quanno Napule addiventa cartulina
Cunt 'e mise 'e juorn l'ore
E na' smania chiu' te piglia
Quanno siente nu mutivo 'e na canzone

Dimme, vicino a te sta' gennarino?
Assuntulella
Comme? Nun sta durmenno?
Abbracciammille forte a tutt e dduje
Dincelle ca papa' suoje
E vo' bene assaje

Luntano a vuje nun resisto cchiu'
Dimane piglio 'o treno
E me ne torno a napule
Pe' sta sempe cu vuje
Pe nun ve' lassa cchiu'

Napule chiamm 'e figlie suoie
Comme 'a na mamma
Se stenne 'e braccie
Napulita' turnate - turnate
Napule ve chiamma
Nun vo' muri' nun po' muri'

Call Naples 081

Pront Nannì me hear?
It's me, Salvatore
I called
I was worried
I want to know how the children are
Are the boys doing well?

I'm being tormented
By anxious thoughts
How bitter it is to be far away
When you have a family
When Naples becomes a postcard
With its months turned to days
And a frenzy overtaking you
When you hear the tune of a song

Tell me, is Gennarino near you?
Assuntulella
What? He's not sleeping?
Hug them both tightly
Tell them their daddy
Loves them very much

I can't stand being away from you any longer
Tomorrow I'm taking the train
And I'm coming back to Naples
To be with you always
Never to leave you again

Naples calls to her children
Like a mother
Her arms outstretched
Neapolitans, come back - come back
Naples is calling you
She doesn't want to die, she can't die
