Paroles et traduction Renato Carosone - Pigliate Una Pastiglia

Pigliate Una Pastiglia

Shh, canta Napoli
Napoli in farmacia
Eh eh
Io cammino ogne notte
Io cammino sbarianno
Io nun tengo maje suonno
Nun chiudo maje ll'uocchie
E nun bevo cafè
Va' te cócca, siente a me!
Va' te cócca, siente a me!
Na perziana ca sbatte
Nu lampione ca luce
E nu 'mbriaco ca dice
Bussanno a na porta
"Mm'arape, Cuncè'!"
'A tre mise nun dormo cchiù
Na vucchella vurría scurdá
Gente, diciteme comm'aggi"a fá
Pígliate na pastiglia!
Pígliate na pastiglia
Siente a me!
Pe' mme fá addurmí
Pe' mme fá scurdá
Il mio dolce amor
Pígliate na pastiglia!
Pígliate na pastiglia
Siente a me!
Pe' mme fá sentí
Come un gran pasciá
E mm'inebria il cuor
Dint"e vvetrine 'e tutt"e farmaciste
La vecchia camomilla ha dato il posto
Alle palline 'e glicerofosfato
Bromotelevisionato
Grammi zero, zero, tre
Ah!
Pígliate na pastiglia
Siente a me!
Dint"o scuro na gatta
Mastecanno na sarda
Doce doce mme guarda
Mme guarda, se struscia
Miagola e fa
Siente a me, vatte a cuccá!
Siente a me, vatte a cuccá!
Só' nu ciuccio 'e carretta
Carrecato d'ammore
Ca se tira stu core
Stu core ca cerca la felicitá
'A tre mise nun dormo cchiù
Na vucchella vurría scurdá
Gente, diciteme comm'aggi"a fá
Dint"e vvetrine 'e tutt"e farmaciste
La vecchia camomilla ha dato il posto
Alle palline 'e glicerofosfato
Bromotelevisionato
Diddittí, bicarbonato
Borotalco e seme 'e lino
Cataplasma e semolino
Na custata â fiorentina
Mortadella e duje panine
Cu nu miezu litro 'e vino
Nu caffé con caffeina
Grammi zero, zero, tre
Ah!
Pígliate na pastiglia
Siente a me!

Pigliate Una Pastiglia

Shh, listen to Naples
Naples at the pharmacy
Heh heh
I walk every night
I walk around in a daze
I never get any sleep
I never close my eyes
And I don't drink coffee
Go on girl, listen to me!
Go on girl, listen to me!
A shutter that bangs
A street light that shines
And a drunk man who says
Knocking on a door
"Open up, Cuncè'!"
For three months I haven't slept a wink
There's a pretty little mouth I want to forget
People, tell me what should I do
Take a pill!
Take a pill
You should listen to me!
To make me fall asleep
To make me forget
My darling love
Take a pill!
Take a pill
You should listen to me!
To make me feel
Like a great pasha
And it intoxicates my heart
In the windows of every pharmacy
The old chamomile has given way to
Glycerophosphate pills
Bromotelevized
Zero, zero, three grams
Ah!
Take a pill
Listen to me!
In the dark a cat
Chewing on a sardine
Looks at me sweetly
She looks at me, rubs herself against me
Meows and says
Listen to me, go to bed!
Listen to me, go to bed!
I'm a hard-working mule
Loaded with love
That's pulling at my heart
This heart that's looking for happiness
For three months I haven't slept a wink
There's a pretty little mouth I want to forget
People, tell me what should I do
In the windows of every pharmacy
The old chamomile has given way to
Glycerophosphate pills
Bromotelevized
Diddittí, bicarbonate of soda
Baby powder and linseed
Cataplasm and semolina
Florentine steak
Mortadella and two sandwiches
With a half-liter of wine
A coffee with caffeine
Zero, zero, three grams
Ah!
Take a pill
Listen to me!
