Lyrics

Un certo pasqualino pescatore
viveva in assoluta poverta';
pero' sentiva sempre in fondo al cuore
qualcosa che diceva «un di' verra' «!
e un bel di' giunse a sorrento
una principessa indiana
sopra un grosso bastimento:
la bellissima kali'.
pasqualino la guardo'
e kali' s’innamoro'
ed in india lo porto'…
pasqualino maraja',
a cavallo all' elefante,
con in testa un gran turbante,
per la jungla se ne va.
pasqualino maraja'
non lavora e non fa niente:
fra i misteri dell 'oriente
fa il nababbo fra gli indu' ulla ulla ulla la cento casse di diamanti
grossi grossi
mentre principi potenti
gli s’inchinano davanti,
lui si fuma il narghille' eh! eh! eh! eh! eh!eh!
pasqualino maraja'
ha insegnato a far la pizza
tutta l’india ne va pazza
solo pizza vuol mngiar
pasqualino maraja'
ha imparato a far l’indiano
ma, da buon napoletano,
chiama tutti:
«ue', paesan!"ulla ulla ulla la. ulla la la la

Lyrics translation

A certain Pasqualino fisherman
he lived in absolute poverty.;
but she always felt deep in her heart
something that said, " a say will come."
and a good day came to sorrento
an Indian princess
over a large vessel:
the beautiful kali'.
pasqualino looked at her.
and kali 'falls in love'
and he brought it to india.…
pasqualino maraja',
riding the elephant,
with a big turban on his head,
he's gone to the jungle.
pasqualino maraja'
he does not work and does nothing:
among the mysteries of the East
makes nababbo among the Hindus' ulla ulla ulla a hundred cases of diamonds
big big
while powerful princes
they bow before him,
he smokes his hookah! eh! eh! eh! eh!eh!
pasqualino maraja'
he taught to make pizza
All india is crazy about it
only pizza wants mngiar
pasqualino maraja'
he learned to be Indian
but, as a good Neapolitan,
call everyone:
"EU', paesan!"ulla ulla Ulla to. ulla la la la
