Lyrics
'A sera, 'ncoppe viche
Cu 'a chitarra, scenne pe' Tulèto…
Tene 'a cravatta gialla
E na giacchetta cu 'a spaccata arreto…
'E scarpe a varchetella
E nu cazone fatto a zompafuosso…
E chi s’avota 'a ccá…
E chi s’avota 'a llá…
Guardánnolo 'e passá…
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra…
Pecché sape cantá tutte ccanzone
E' stato 'nnammurato 'e na figliola
Che ll’ha lassato miezo scumbinato…
E porta 'e sserenate a 'e 'nnammurate:
Pe' ciento lire canta «Anema e core»
Pe' cincuciento fa ll’americano:
S’arrangia a 'mpapucchiá «Johnny Guitar»…
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra…
E pare 'o pazzariello de ccanzone!
Na sera fuje chiammato
Pe' na festa, sott’a nu balcone
Ô vico Scassacocchi…
Primmo piano, 'ncopp'a nu lampione:
'a mana lle tremmaje
'sta serenata jéva a Margarita…
Cu 'sta chitarra ccá
Tu mo che cante a fá?
Pe' chi se vò' spassá?
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra…
Pecché sape cantá tutte ccanzone
'A cumitiva allèra e ll’emozione
'o fa cantá, chiagnenno, «Core 'ngrato»…
Pe' chistu pretendente ammartenato
Mo cade nu biglietto appassiunato…
E s’arricorda, quanno da 'o balcone
Cadevano cucozze e 'nfamitá…
E canta po' Giuvanne cu 'a chitarra
Cu 'a vocca amara e cu na funa 'nganna…
Na sera pe' Tuleto
N’ombra scura saglie 'a coppe viche…
Giuvá' che ce vuó' fá?
'a vita è chesta ccá:
Cucozze e 'nfamitá!
Lyrics translation
'In the evening,' ncoppe viche
Cu 'a guitar, scenne pe' Tulèto…
Yellow tie Tene '
And na CU ' jacket split arreto…
'And varchetella shoes
And nu cazone made in zompafuosso…
And who is worthy of ccá…
And who is avota ' to llá…
They'll look at it and pass.…
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu' on guitar…
Sin she knows how to sing all of ccanzone
He was 'nnammurato' and his daughter
Who has weary him miezo scumbinato…
And bring 'e sserenate to' E ' nnammurate:
A hundred pounds sing " Anema E core»
Fifty is the American.:
S'arrangia a 'mpapucchiá" Johnny Guitar»…
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu' on guitar…
And stop the pazzariello of ccanzone!
Na sera Fuge calammato
Pe ' na festa, SOTT'a NU balcony
O vico eye opener…
First floor, ' ncopp'a NU lamppost:
'a mana lle tremmaje
'this serenade jéva to Margarita…
What is ccá guitar
Do you sing?
Who's going to have fun?
'O chiámmano Giuvanne cu' on guitar…
Sin she knows how to sing all of ccanzone
'To cumitiva allèra and the emotion
'o fa sing, chiagnenno, 'Core' ngrato»…
Pe ' chistu suitor ammartenato
Mo cade NU ticket passionate…
And it gets rich, when it comes to the balcony
They fell cuckoos and ' nfamitá…
And sing a little 'Juvanne cu' on guitar
With 'a bitter voice is with Na funa' nganna…
Na sera pe ' Tuleto
N'ombra dark saglie ' a CUPE viche…
What do you want to do?
'for life is chesta ccá:
Cucozze is shameful!
