Paroles et traduction Pino Daniele - 'O 'Mericano

'O 'Mericano

'O 'mericano tene 'e sorde
E nun se po' caccià'
'O 'mericano è 'na sacca sicura
Quanno cammina tutt'e guaglione 'o vonno guardà'
Pure si è overo e nun tene cultura
'O 'mericano pe' tant'anne c'ha fatto campà'
Accattate 'e marlboro
Telefilm e coca-cola
Paese addò miette 'e limune 'int'e cannune
Chin' 'e contraddizioni e scritte 'ncopp'e muri
'E strade strette ca portano a mare
Chin' 'e bandiere americane
'O 'mericano beve 'a birra ma le piace 'o vino
'E nave 'e guerra semp' vicine
'O 'mericano è n'amico
E nun te lascia sulo
'O 'mericano porta furtuna
'O 'mericano pe' tant'anne c'ha fatto campà'
Accattate 'e marlboro
Telefilm e coca-cola.
Paese addò miette 'e limune 'int'e cannune
Chin' 'e contraddizioni e scritte 'ncopp'e muri
'E strade strette ca portano a mare
Chin' 'e bandiere americane.

'O 'Mericano

The American has money
And he can't be chased away
The American is a safe haven
When he walks by, all the kids want to look at him
Even if he's rude and has no culture
The American has made us live for so many years
Buy Marlboros
TV shows and Coca-Cola
Country where they put lemons in the cannons
Full of contradictions and graffiti on the walls
Narrow streets that lead to the sea
Full of American flags
The American drinks beer but he likes wine
Warships always nearby
The American is a friend
And he won't leave you alone
The American brings good luck
The American has made us live for so many years
Buy Marlboros
TV shows and Coca-Cola.
Country where they put lemons in the cannons
Full of contradictions and graffiti on the walls
Narrow streets that lead to the sea
Full of American flags.
