Текст и перевод песни Nino D'Angelo - O Speniello

O Speniello

Dateme nu speniello, faciteme fumà
Napule chest me da, Napule chest ce da
Abbasc 'e filangier, aret a casa mì
Se venn a robba bon, pare na farmacia

S'appen'n a nu suonn chesti creatur e dio
Campann nu minut, morn miezz a via
(Dateme nu speniello, faciteme fumà)
Napule chest ce da, (Napule chest ce da)

Facevo ammor in casa ca 'nnammurata mia
Ma dop 'o terramot 'o facc miezz a via
Perché chisti palazz so tutt suppuntat
E a colpa nun è a nost si simm 'nnammurat
(Dateme nu speniello, faciteme fumà)
Napule chest ce da, (Napule chest ce da)

Abbasc 'o pallunett, 'nderr Santa Lucia
Nisciun sta riun ma cost l'ira 'e dio
Na casc 'e sigarett e sfam na famiglia
Ma a vot 'o mar è 'nfam e chiagn'n sti figli
(Dateme nu speniello, faciteme fumà)
Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)

A cartulina è bella: vesuvio e mare blu
E po a chi ven ca cercamm a carità
All'angolo 'e via duomo, semaforo foria
'E parabrezz 'e machin lavn 'e frat mi
(Dateme nu speniello, faciteme fumà)
Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)

Io song comm a vuje, song un 'e miezz a via
E me song stancat 'e chesti fetenzie
Perciò me sball e cant 'mbrugliann a fantasia
E Napule è chiù bell 'e chell ca sacc je
(Dateme nu speniello, faciteme fumà)

Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)
Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)
Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)
Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)
Napule chest me da, (Napule chest ce da)
Napule chest me da

The Spennello

Give me a speniello, let me smoke
Naples, this is what it gives me, Naples this is what it gives
Under the clotheslines, right here at my house
If they sell good stuff, it looks like a pharmacy

They wake up to a dream these creatures of God
They live for a minute, they die in the middle of the street
(Give me a speniello, let me smoke)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)

I used to make love at home with my girlfriend
But after the earthquake I do it in the middle of the street
Because these buildings are all propped up
And it's not our fault if we are in love
(Give me a speniello, let me smoke)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)

Under the streetlight, in Santa Lucia
Nobody's here, but this is the wrath of God
A pack of cigarettes can feed a family
But sometimes the sea is wicked and these children cry
(Give me a speniello, let me smoke)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)

The postcard is beautiful: Vesuvius and the blue sea
And then you come here looking for charity
At the corner of Via Duomo, the traffic light is out
My brothers wash the windshields of cars
(Give me a speniello, let me smoke)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)

I'm just like you, I'm one of the street
And I'm tired of all this bullshit
So I get high and sing confusing myself
And Naples is more beautiful than I know
(Give me a speniello, let me smoke)

Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)
Naples, this is what it gives me, (Naples this is what it gives)
Naples this is what it gives me
