Chella Ila

St′ammore
Me teneva 'ncatenato
Ma ho detto basta e
Mi so′ liberato
Me pare cchiu'
Turchino 'o mare
Me pare cchiu′
Lucente ′o sole
E sto' cantanno
P′ 'a felicita′.
Chella lla'
Chella lla′
Mo' va dicenno
'Ca me vo′ lassa′
Se crede
'Ca me faccio ′o
Sangue amaro
Se crede
'Ca ′mpazzisco e
Po' me sparo
Chella lla′
Chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere
'Ca me fa
Me ne piglio
Nata cchiu′ bella
E zitella restarra′
Chella lla'
Chella lla′
Chella lla'!
Ajere m′ha mandato
Nu' biglietto
P′ 'a figlia
D' ′o purtiere
Di rimpetto
Me scrive
C′ 'a nun e′ felice
E c' ′a vurria
Cu me fa pace
Ma io me sto
Gustanno 'a liberta′.
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Mo′ va dicenno
′Ca me vo' lassa′

Sangue amaro

Nun sape che piacere

That Girl

That love
Had me chained up tight,
But I said "enough" and
Broke free from its might.
The sea seems more
Turquoise and bright,
The sun seems more
Radiant with light,
And I'm singing
Out of pure delight.
That girl,
That girl,
Now goes around saying
She wants to leave me behind.
She thinks
I'll be filled with
Bitter despair,
She thinks
I'll go crazy and
End up in despair.
That girl,
That girl,
She doesn't know the pleasure
It gives me,
I'll find myself
Someone even prettier,
And she'll be left all alone.
That girl,
That girl,
That girl!
Yesterday she sent me
A little note,
Through the daughter
Of the doorman
Across the street.
She writes
That she's not happy
And that she wants
To make peace with me.
But I'm
Savoring my freedom.
That girl,
That girl,
Now goes around saying
She wants to leave me behind.
She thinks
I'll be filled with
Bitter despair,
She thinks
I'll go crazy and
End up in despair.
That girl,
That girl,
She doesn't know the pleasure
It gives me,
I'll find myself
Someone even prettier,
And she'll be left all alone.
That girl,
That girl,
That girl!
That girl,
That girl,
She doesn't know the pleasure
It gives me,
I'll find myself
Someone even prettier,
And she'll be left all alone.
That girl,
That girl,
That girl!
That girl,
That girl,
That girl,
That girl,
That girl,
That girl,
That girl,
That girl,
That girl!
