Текст и перевод песни Renato Carosone - Tuvou fa' l'americano

Tuvou fa' l'americano

Puorte o cazone cu ′nu stemma arreto
'Na cuppulella cu ′a visiera alzata.
Passe scampanianno pe' Tuleto
Camme a 'nu guappo pe′ te fa guardà!

Tu vuò fa l′ americano!
Mmericano! mmericano
Siente a me, chi t' ho fa fa?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po′ te sente 'e disturbà.

Tu abballe ′o roccorol
Tu giochi al basebal '
Ma ′e solde pe' Camel
Chi te li dà? ...
La borsetta di mammà!

Tu vuò fa l' americano
Mmericano! mmericano!
Ma si nato in Italy!
Siente a mme
Non ce sta′ niente a ffa
O kay, napolitan!
Tu vuò fa l′ american!
Tu vuò fa l' american!

Comme te po′ capì chi te vò bene
Si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l ′ammore sotto 'a luna
Come te vene ′capa e di:"i love you!?"

Tu vuò fa l' americano!
Mmericano! mmericano
Siente a me, chi t' ho fa fa?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda
Ma se bevi whisky and soda
Po′ te sente ′e disturbà.

Tu abballe 'o roccorol
Tu giochi al basebal ′
Ma 'e solde pe′ Camel
Chi te li dà? ...
La borsetta di mammà!

Tu vuò fa l' americano
Mmericano! mmericano!
Ma si nato in Italy!
Siente a mme
Non ce sta′ niente a ffa
O kay, napolitan!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Tu vuò fa l′ american!

Tuvou fa' l'americano

You wear a uniform with an emblem on the back
A cap with a raised visor.
You walk like a Neapolitan on vacation
So that you can be noticed as a handsome guy!

You want to be an American!
American! American
Listen to me, who would tell you to do that?
You want to live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
You might feel upset.

You dance the rock and roll
You play baseball
But who gives you the money
For your Camels? ...
Your mother'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 about it
Okay, 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 her in American?
When you make love under the moon
How do you get it into your head to say: "I love you!?"

You want to be an American!
American! American
Listen to me, who would tell you to do that?
You want to live in style
But if you drink whiskey and soda
You might feel upset.

You dance the rock and roll
You play baseball
But who gives you the money
For your Camels? ...
Your mother'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 about it
Okay, Neapolitan!
You want to be an american!
You want to be an american!
You want to be an american!
