Текст и перевод песни Fausto Cigliano - Simmo e napule, paisa'

Simmo e napule, paisa'

Tarantella, facennoce 'e cunte, nun vale cchiù a niente 'o ppassato a penzá
Quanno nun ce stanno 'e tramme, na carrozza è sempe pronta, n'ata a ll'angolo sta giá
Caccia oje nénna 'o crespo giallo, miette 'a vesta cchiù carella
Cu na rosa 'int' 'e capille, saje che 'mmidia 'ncuoll' a me
Tarantella, facènnoce 'e cunte, nun vale cchiù a niente "'o ppeccomme e 'o ppecché"

Basta ca ce sta 'o sole, ca nc'è rimasto 'o mare
Na nénna a core a core, na canzone pe' cantá
Chi ha avuto, ha avuto, ha avuto
Chi ha rato, ha rato, ha rato
Scurdámmoce 'o ppassato, simmo 'e Napule paisá!

Tarantella, stu munno è na rota: chi saglie 'a sagliuta, chi sta pe' cadé!
Dice buono 'o mutto antico "Ccá se scontano 'e peccate": ogge a te, dimane a me!
Io, nu poco fatto a vino, penzo ô mmale e penzo ô bbene
Ma 'sta vocca curallina cerca 'a mia pe' me vasá!
Tarantella, si 'o munno è na rota, pigliammo 'o minuto che sta pe' passá

Eh! Basta ca ce sta 'o sole, ca nc'è rimasto 'o mare
Na nénna a core a core, na canzone pe' cantá
Chi ha avuto, ha avuto, ha avuto
Chi ha rato, ha rato, ha rato
Scurdámmoce 'o ppassato, simmo 'e Napule paisá!

Tarantella, 'o cucchiere è n'amico: Nun 'ngarra cchiù 'o vico addó mm'ha da purtá
Mo redenno e mo cantanno, s'è scurdato 'o coprifuoco, vò' surtanto cammená
Quanno sta a Santa Lucia, "Signurí", 'nce dice a nuje
Ccá nce steva 'a casa mia: so' rimasto surtant'i'"
E chiagnenno chiagnenno, s'avvía, ma po' 'a nustargía fa priesto a ferní

Basta ca ce sta 'o sole, ca nc'è rimasto 'o mare
Na nénna a core a core, na canzone pe' cantá
Chi ha avuto, ha avuto, ha avuto
Chi ha rato, ha rato, ha rato
Scurdámmoce 'o ppassato, simmo 'e Napule paisá!

Basta ca ce sta 'o sole, ca nc'è rimasto 'o mare
Na nénna a core a core, na canzone pe' cantá
Chi ha avuto, ha avuto, ha avuto
Chi ha rato, ha rato, ha rato
Scurdámmoce 'o ppassato, simmo 'e Napule paisá!

Simmo and Napule, pal

Tarantella, counting our stories, the past is worthless thinking about
When there are no trams, a carriage is always outside, another is already waiting on the corner
Wear yellow curls, my darling, put on your best dress
With a rose in your hair, you make me jealous, my dear
Tarantella, counting our stories, the past is worthless thinking about

As long as there is sunshine, as long as the sea is there
A sweetheart by your side, a song to sing
The past is past
It doesn't matter
Forget the past, we're from Naples, pal!

Tarantella, this world is a wheel: some climb up, some fall down!
The old saying goes "Sins are punished here": today you, tomorrow me!
I'm a little tipsy, I think about the bad and the good
But these coral lips are looking for mine to kiss me!
Tarantella, if the world is a wheel, let's take the minute that is about to pass

Oh! As long as there is sunshine, as long as the sea is there
A sweetheart by your side, a song to sing
The past is past
It doesn't matter
Forget the past, we're from Naples, pal!

Tarantella, the coachman is a friend of mine: He doesn't care anymore about the street where he has to take me
Now laughing and now singing, he has forgotten about the curfew, he just wants to walk
When he is in Santa Lucia, "Ladies and Gentlemen", he says to us
My home was here: I was left alone
And crying and crying, he walks away, but then nostalgia ends quickly

As long as there is sunshine, as long as the sea is there
A sweetheart by your side, a song to sing
The past is past
It doesn't matter
Forget the past, we're from Naples, pal!

As long as there is sunshine, as long as the sea is there
A sweetheart by your side, a song to sing
The past is past
It doesn't matter
Forget the past, we're from Naples, pal!
