Connola senza mamma (Live)

Comme vapure scostano
Luntano a 'sta banchina...
Turmiente e pene portano
Lassanno 'a Margellina...
'Nterr'â banchina chiagnono
'E mmamme 'e ll'emigrante
Pe' chesto, 'nterr'a 'America
Só triste tutte quante...

Meglio nu juorno ccá, napulitano
Ca tutta vita princepe luntano...
E Napoli che cchiamma
Luntana sta...
Cònnola senza mamma
Falle turná
Falle turná!

Stanno luntane e cònnole
Sempe sti cante e suone...
Ma qua' brillante trovano
Cchiù belle de ccanzone?
Tutto nun dà ll'America
Forte suspira 'o core
'E chi, pensanno â Patria
Luntano se ne more...

Meglio nu juorno ccá, napulitano
Ca tutta vita princepe luntano...
Si è Napule che cchiamma
Pe ffá saná...
Cònnola senza mamma
Falle turná
Falle turná!

Si è Napule che cchiamma
Pe ffá saná...
Cònnola senza mamma
Falle turná
Falle turná...

Connola senza mamma (Live)

My heart aches as I watch far away on the distant shores
The ships depart, carrying away their souls
They carry away the pain and torment of leaving Margellina
On the pier, the mothers of the emigrants weep
On the pier, they cry and mourn
The mothers of the emigrants
And that's why in America
They are all so sad

Oh, a single day here in Napoli
Is worth a lifetime as a foreign prince
Napoli, she calls out your name
Far away, she remains
A motherless child
Oh, my love, return
Oh, my love, return

Though they are far away and alone
Their hearts are filled with memories
But where can they find a diamond
More beautiful than our songs?
America cannot fulfill their dreams
Their hearts yearn with a heavy sigh
For those who dream of their homeland
They slowly fade away

Oh, a single day here in Napoli
Is worth a lifetime as a foreign prince
And now Napoli calls out your name
To heal your broken heart
A motherless child
Oh, my love, return
Oh, my love, return

And now Napoli calls out your name
To heal your broken heart
A motherless child
Oh, my love, return
Oh, my love, return...
