Текст и перевод песни Dany Brillant - Tu vuo' fa l'americano (Version Big Band)

Tu vuo' fa l'americano (Version Big Band)

Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuleto
Comm'a nuguappo, 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 dà? 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 abball' o' rocchenroll
Tu giochi a baisiboll
Ma e solde p' è Ccamel
Chi te li dà? 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

Tu vuo' fa' ll'american
'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 dà? La borsetta di mamma'

Tu vuo' fa' ll'american
'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

You Want to Be American (Big Band Version)

Fancy suits with a crest on the back
A cap with brim tilted to the side
A Neapolitan passing by Toledo Street
Like a sharp dresser, just to get noticed

You want to be American
American, American
Listen to me, who's making you act this way?
You want to live in style
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
You might feel uncomfortable

You dance rock 'n' roll
You play baseball
But the money for your Camel cigarettes
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 broken English?
When you make love under the moonlight
How can you bring yourself to say "I love you"?

You dance rock 'n' roll
You play baseball
But the money for your Camel cigarettes
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

You want to be American
American, American
Listen to me, who's making you act this way?
You want to live in style
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
You might feel uncomfortable

You dance rock 'n' roll
You play baseball
But the money for your Camel cigarettes
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
