Текст и перевод песни Roberto Murolo - 'A canzone 'e Napule

'A canzone 'e Napule

Chillu jorno nu rré e na reggina
Partettene a fore venettene ccà
Fuie na festa e pe for′e balcone
Nu sacco e bandiere pe tutt'a città
Masaniello purtaie nu babà
Ma a riggina vuleve mangià
Fuje accussì ca cu ll′acqu'e a farina
Nu bellu guaglione a facette ncantà
Po guardaie da bandiera e culure
Pensaie nu numento dicette Maistà
Mo ce metto ddoje pummerulelle
Cu sta muzzarella e na fronna d'està
Po nu furno vulett′appiccià
Dduie minut′e va faccio assaggià
Chella pizz'a nventaje pe′a reggina
Perciò Margherita l'avetta chiammà
Napule
T′o raccontano Napule
Nfaccia e mure de viche
Può lleggere a storia e sta bella città
Gennarino a Pozzuoli cresceva
Parlava ca ggente sultanto e Gesù
Ma c'è steve chi nun c′è credeva
E nu juorno e settembre o vulette affruntà
Contr'o diavolo niente può ffà
Ma sapeva ca Dio steve llà
E accussì m'paraviso sagliette e o Vesuvio
Che mmane sapette fermà
C′era un principe senza casato
Che aveva cambiato la sua identità
Diventato un attore importante
Pe′ tutta sta gente era il grande Totò
E cuntento morì in povertà
P'ajutà tanta gent′a campà
Chillu principe ricco ind'o core
Ma quant′allegria c'ha saputo purtà
Napule
Una notte ero in barca a Surriento
In un mare elegante vestito di blu
Sotto un cielo pezzato di stelle
Da un vecchio terrazzo qualcuno cantò
Una voce cantava per me
Non vedevo nessuno perché
Era il canto del grande Caruso
Che il mare l′aveva tenuto per sè
E accussì te mettist'a sunà
Ddoje parole sapiste 'nventà
Sta canzone ca e scritt′a Surriento
Oramai tutt′o munno t'ha sap cantà

'The Song of Naples'

One day, a king and queen
Left their kingdom and came here
It was a festival, and from the balconies
Flags hung all over the city
Masaniello brought a babà
But the queen wanted to eat
So with flour and water
A handsome boy made her a treat
Then he looked at the colors of the flag
Thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty"
I'll add two tomatoes
With this mozzarella and a basil leaf
Then light up an oven
In two minutes, you'll be able to taste it
He invented this pizza for the queen
That's why it was named Margherita
Naples
They tell you about Naples
On the walls of its alleyways
You can read the history of this beautiful city
Gennarino grew up in Pozzuoli
He only talked about the people and Jesus
But there were those who didn't believe
And one day in September, they confronted him
Nothing can be done against the devil
But he knew that God was there
And so he climbed into the crater of Mount Vesuvius
Which he managed to stop
There was a prince without a surname
Who had changed his identity
He became a great actor
For all these people, he was the great Totò
And he died happy in poverty
To help so many people live
That prince, rich in his heart
But how much joy he brought
Naples
One night I was in a boat at Sorrento
In an elegant sea dressed in blue
Under a sky studded with stars
Someone sang from an old terrace
A voice sang for me
I couldn't see anyone because
It was the song of the great Caruso
That the sea had kept for itself
And so you started to play
You invented two words
This song that was written in Sorrento
Now the whole world knows how to sing it
