Lyrics
'O ccafe'
'O llatte e' bbuono
E 'a ciucculata e' ddoce
Eppure 'a cammumilla bbene fa Rinfresca ll’orzo e 'o vino fa felice
E sulo ll’acqua 'a sete fa passa'
Ma 'nu milione 'e ggente
'E Napule comm’a mme
Nun vonno sape' niente
E campano…
Co ccafe'…
Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E nisciuno se spiega pecche'
E' 'na vera specialita' ah Ah! c’a ddore 'e ccafe'
Ca se sente pe' 'sta citta'
E 'o nervuso nervuso comm’e'
Ogni tanto so vva a piglia'
Comme nasce tu siente 'o bebbe'
Ca dice: «Ngue ngue'
'Nu poco 'e ccafe'!»
E ll’Inglese se scorda do the'
Si vene a sape'
N’espresso che d’e'
Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E accussi' s’e' spiegato ppecche'
Ca pe' tutta jurnata
Na tazza po' n’ata
S’accatta se scarfa e Se veve 'o ccafe'
Pe' vevere 'o ccafe'
Se trova 'a scusa:
Io ll’offro a 'n'ato
E 'n'ato ll’offre a me…
Nisciuno dice «no»
Pecche' e' n’offesa:
So' gia' sei tazze
E so’nghe appena 'e ttre…
Ma mentre faccio 'o cunto
N’amico mme chiamma: «Gue'
E fermate nu mumento e Vevimmoce nu… cafe'!»…
Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E accussi' s’e' spiegato ppecche'
E' 'na vera specialita' ah Ah! c’a ddore 'e ccafe'
Ca se sente pe' 'sta citta'
E 'o nervuso nervuso comm’e'
Ogni tanto so vva a piglia'
Comme nasce tu siente 'o bebbe'
Ca dice: «Ngue' ngue'
'Nu poco 'e ccafe'!»
E ll’Inglese se scorda do the'
Si vene a sape'
N’espresso che d’e'
Ah! che bello 'o ccafe'!
Sulo a Napule 'o ssanno fa'
E accussi' s’e' spiegato ppecche'
Ca pe' tutta jurnata
Na tazza po' n’ata
S’accatta se scarfa e Se veve 'o ccafe'…
Che bello…
'O ccafe' eh
Lyrics translation
'O ccafe'
'O llatte is good
It's in ciucculata. it's sweet.
And yet 'to cammumilla well refreshes the barley is' or wine makes happy
And on the water 'a thirst passes'
Ma 'nu milione' e ggente
'E Napule Comm'a mme
Nun vonno knows nothing
And Bell…
Co ccafe'…
Ah! Oh, that's nice, ccafe.
Sulo in Napule 'O ssanno fa'
And nisciuno if it explains sins'
It's na real specialty ah Ah! there's ddore and ccafe.
How it feels in this city
It's either nervuso nervuso as it is.
Every now and then I know how to get away with it.
How is born you feel 'o bebbe'
Ca says, "Ngue ngue'
'NU poco ' and ccafe'!»
And English forgets do the'
Come to know
N'express that d'e'
Ah! Oh, that's nice, ccafe.
Sulo in Napule 'O ssanno fa'
And accusi ' s 'explained ppecche'
As per ' tutta journata
Na cup little n'ata
He accepts if he shoes and sees'or ccafe'
On 'vevere' or ccafe'
If you find 'excuse:
I offer it to ' N ' ato
It ' n'to L'offer to me…
Nisciuno says " no»
Sin is not offended:
I already know six cups.
And so'nghe just ' ttre…
But while I do
N'amico mme chiamma: "Gue'
It's stop not mumento it's Vevimmoce not ... cafe!»…
