Paroles et traduction Nino D'Angelo - Scugnizzo a New York

Scugnizzo a New York

Cammine sule sule Guardanne grattaciele
Lacreme senza pieta' Pe' cchi nun vuo
Cchiu' emigra'
E' vo' canta'

'Na cartulina casa Quanta malincunia
E' l'allerie sta' citta' Cchiu' cup'a' nera se fa'
Pe chi sta' cca'

'Nu' scugnizze rire ma sta' maschere' busciarda
S'ha ccuntente tutto pure quanno tiempe' brutto
Fa' l'americano d'inta metropolitana
Ma si va' into bar
Vuo' 'o ccafe' napulitane

E cerc"o sol'e','o mare Due ali per volare
Pe riturnna sta citta'
Addo' qualcune ce' sta' allaspetta'
'Nu' scugnizze rire ma sta' maschere'
Busciarda

S'accuntenta tutto pure quanno tiempo e brutto
Fa' l'americano d'inta metropolitana
Ma si va into bar vuo 'o ccafe' napulitane

Scugnizzo in New York

I walk through the streets Looking at these tall buildings
Tears fall without remorse For those who don't want
To emigrate anymore
And want to sing

In a tiny house in this city How much sadness
And this city's narrow streets Get darker and darker for
Those who stay here

A kid laughs But it's a fake smile
He's happy with everything Even when the weather is bad
He plays the American on the subway
But if he goes to a bar
He wants Neapolitan coffee

And I look for the sun and the sea Two wings to fly
To return to this city
Where someone is waiting for me
A kid laughs But it's a fake smile
A liar

He's happy with everything Even when the weather is bad
He plays the American on the subway
But if he goes into a bar he wants Neapolitan coffee
