Paroles et traduction Renato Carosone - 'A sunnambula

'A sunnambula

Carmela è na bambola
E fa ′ammore cu me
Ma 'a mamma è terribile
Nun mm′ 'a vò' fá vedé

Allora aggio truvato
Nu bellu ritrovato
Carmela fa ′a sunnambula
Pe′ mme vení a truvá

E fa scema a mammá!
E cu 'a scusa ch′è na sunnambula
Chesta bambola, nèh, che fa
Tutt' ′e ssere, pe' copp′a ll'ásteco
Vène a ll'ùnnece a passiggiá

′Ncopp′a ll'ásteco ce stóngh′io
E lle dico: "Stó' ccá pe′ te"
E 'a sunnambula, ch′è na bambola
Fa 'a sunnambula 'mbracci′a me

′O pate, 'On Arcangelo
Pe′ dispietto nun vò'
Lle sóngo antipatico
E mm′ha ditto ca no

Ma a me che mme ne 'mporta
Io tengo aperta ′a porta
Carmela, comm"o ssolito
Mme vène a cunzulá

E fa scemo a papá!
E cu 'a scusa ch'è na sunnambula
Chesta bambola, nèh, che fa
Tutt′ ′e ssere, pe' copp′a ll'ásteco
Vène a ll′ùnnece a passiggiá

'Ncopp′a ll'ásteco ce stóngh'io
E lle dico: "Stó′ ccá pe′ te"
E 'a sunnambula, ch′è na bambola
Fa 'a sunnambula ′mbracci'a me

E cu ′a scusa ch'è na sunnambula
Chesta bambola, nèh, che fa
Tutt' ′e ssere, pe′ copp'a ll′ásteco
Vène a ll'ùnnece a passiggiá

′Ncopp'a ll′ásteco ce stóngh'io
E lle dico: "Stó' ccá pe′ te"
E ′a sunnambula, ch'è na bambola
Fa ′a sunnambula 'mbracci′a me
E 'a sunnambula, ch′è na bambola
Fa 'a sunnambula 'mbracci′a me!

The Sleepwalker

Carmela is a beauty
And she's in love with me
But her mother is terrible
She won't let me see her

So I came up with
A clever plan
Carmela pretends to be a sleepwalker
To come and see me

She'll fool her mother!
And with the excuse that she's a sleepwalker
This girl, oh, what does she do
All the time, on the balcony
She comes at eleven to walk

On the balcony I'm waiting
And I tell her: "I'm here for you"
And the sleepwalker, who's a beauty
Sleepwalks into my arms

Her father, Don Arcangelo
Out of spite doesn't want it
He doesn't like me
And he told me no

But what do I care
I've left the door open
Carmela, as usual
Comes to comfort me

She'll fool her Dad!
And with the excuse that she's a sleepwalker
This girl, oh, what does she do
All the time, on the balcony
She comes at eleven to walk

On the balcony I'm waiting
And I tell her: "I'm here for you"
And the sleepwalker, who's a beauty
Sleepwalks into my arms

And with the excuse that she's a sleepwalker
This girl, oh, what does she do
All the time, on the balcony
She comes at eleven to walk

On the balcony I'm waiting
And I tell her: "I'm here for you"
And the sleepwalker, who's a beauty
Sleepwalks into my arms
And the sleepwalker, who's a beauty
Sleepwalks into my arms!
