Текст и перевод песни Renato Carosone - Tu Vuo' Fa L'americano

Tu Vuo' Fa L'americano

Puorte 'e calzune cu nu stemma arreto
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata
Passa scampanianno pe' Tuledo
Comm'a nu guappo, pe' te fa' guardà

Tu vuo' fa' l'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' rock'n'roll
Tu gioch' a baseball
Ma 'e sorde p' è Camel
Chi te li dà
La borsetta di mammà

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

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

Tu vuo' fa' l'americano
'Mericano, mericano
Sient'a mme chi t' 'o fa fa'?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi "whisky and soda"
Po' te siente 'e disturba'

Tu abball' o' rock'n'roll
Tu gioch' a baseball
Ma 'e sorde p' è Camel
Chi te li dà
La borsetta di mamma

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

Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll
Whisky e soda e rock'n'roll

You Want to be an American

You wear pants with a logo on the back
A baseball cap turned up high
You walk down Tuledo like a Neapolitan hoodlum
Like a tough guy, just to get noticed

You want to be an American
American, American
Listen to me, who's gonna make you play it?
You want to live in style
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
You might feel bad

You dance to rock'n'roll
You play baseball
But who gives you the money
For your Camel cigarettes?
Mommy's purse

You want to be an American
American, American
But you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing you can do
Ok, Neapolitan
You want to be an American
You want to be an American

How can someone who loves you understand you
If you speak to them in broken American?
When you make love under the moon
How do you say "I love you"?

You want to be an American
American, American
Listen to me, who's gonna make you play it?
You want to live in style
But if you drink "whisky and soda"
You might feel bad

You dance to rock'n'roll
You play baseball
But who gives you the money
For your Camel cigarettes?
Mommy's purse

You want to be an American
American, American
But you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing you can do
Ok, Neapolitan
You want to be an American
You want to be an American

You want to be an American
American, American
But you were born in Italy
Listen to me, there's nothing you can do
Ok, Neapolitan
You want to be an American
You want to be an American

Whisky and soda and rock'n'roll
Whisky and soda and rock'n'roll
Whisky and soda and rock'n'roll
