Paroles et traduction Nino D'Angelo - Napule primm 'e doppe

Napule primm 'e doppe

Ma comme so busciarde sti canzone
Ma quale filosofia quale saggezza
Ca ce rimasta solo a capa tosta
E na speranza ca non vo murí
Ce ne mangiamo tutte cartuline
Cu na vedute ca nun ce sta chiù
E o bello e DIO ce ancora chi ci crede
Ca o sole e onuosto e ca stu mare e blu
Napule sotto e ncoppe
Napule primme e doppe
Napule arrate troppo nun tene niente chiù
Ue' ca nisciuno e fesso
Ma stamme sempe o stesso guagliù
Facimme ampresse verimme camma fa
O furastiero guarda e se diverte
Pecche tenimme sempe e porte aperte
Cu ddoie fotografie capisce tutto e nuie funnuculi funniculà
Ce ne mangiamo tutte cartuline
Cu na vedute ca nun ce sta chiù
E o bello e DIO ce ancora chi ci crede
Ca o sole e onuosto e ca stu mare e blu
Napule sotto e ncoppe
Napule primme e doppe
Napule arrate troppo
Nun tene niente chiù
Ue' ca nisciuno e fesso
Ma stamme sempe o stesso guagliù
Facimme ampresse verimme camma fa

Naples Still and Always

Oh honey, how these songs lie!
What philosophy, what wisdom?
There's only stubbornness left,
And a hope that refuses to die.
We fill ourselves with empty dreams,
With a view that's no longer there.
And still, my darling, how people believe
That the sun is honest and the sea is blue.
Naples, from top to bottom,
Naples, before and after.
Naples, too often praised, has nothing left.
My love, nobody's a fool,
But we're always the same old boys.
Let's go out and see what we can do.
The stranger looks on and laughs,
Because our doors are always open.
With just two photographs, he understands it all, and we, funiculars, funiculars
We fill ourselves with empty dreams,
With a view that's no longer there.
And still, my love, how people believe
That the sun is honest and the sea is blue.
Naples, from top to bottom,
Naples, before and after.
Naples, too often praised,
Has nothing left.
My love, nobody's a fool,
But we're always the same old boys.
Let's go out and see what we can do.
