Paroles et traduction The Guy Barker International Quintet feat. Matt Damon, Jude Law & Fiorello - Tu vuo' fa l'americano

Tu vuo' fa l'americano

Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto...
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata...
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleto
Comm'a nu guappo, pe' se fa' guarda'...

Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
Mericano, mericano...
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o ffa fa'?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda,
Ma se bevi "whisky and soda"
Po' te siente 'e disturba'...
Tu abball' o' rocchenroll
Tu giochi a baisiboll...
Ma e solde p' è Ccamel
Chi te li da?
La borsetta di mamma!?

Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
Mericano, mericano...
Ma si' nato in Italy!
Sient' a mme: nun ce sta niente 'a fa'
Ok, napulitan!
Tu vuo' fa' ll'american
Tu vuo' fa' ll'american!

Come te po' capi' chi te vo' bbene
Si tu lle parle miezo americano?
Quanno se fa ll'ammore sott' 'a luna
Comme te vene 'ncapa 'e di' "I love you"?

Tu vuo' fa' ll'americano
Mericano, mericano...

You Want to be American

You wear a stingy-brimmed hat backwards...
A cap with the visor raised...
You walk around Naples like a Tuleto
Like a bully, so as to be looked at...

You want to be American
American, American...
Listen to me, who is making you do this?
You want to live in style,
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
You might get upset...
You dance rock 'n' roll
You play baseball...
But the money for your Camel
Who gives it to you?
Your mother's purse!?

You want to be American
American, American...
But you were born in Italy!
Listen to me: there's nothing to be done
Ok, Neapolitan!
You want to be American
You want to be American!

How can someone who loves you understand you
If you speak to them in half-American?
When you make love under the moon
How does it come to your mind to say "I love you?"

You want to be American
American, American...
