Lyrics

Ti avevo detto,
dal primo appuntamento,
'e nun purta' nisciuno appriesso a te…
Invece mo nu frato,
na sora, na nepote…
sola nun staje na vota
ascimmo sempre a tre!
E mi hai promesso
«Domani chi lo sa…
vengo io soltanto…
soltanto con mamma'!»
Io, mammeta e tu…
passiammo pe' Tuledo,
nuje annanze e mammeta arreto…
Io mammeta e tu…
Sempre appriesso,
cose 'e pazze
chesta vene pure 'o viaggio 'e nozze…
Jamm’o cinema, o abballa'…
si cercammo 'e ce 'a squaglia',
comm’a nu carabbiniere
chella vene a ce afferra'… Ah… Ah…
ma, 'nnammurato,
so' rassignato
Non reagisco più…
Io, mammeta e tu…
Io, mammeta e tu…
Ma San Gennaro m’aveva fatto 'a grazia
ll’ata matina
nun ll’ha fatta aiza'
Teneva ll’uocchie 'e freve,
pareva ca schiattava,
io quase mme credevo
d’asci' sulo cu te…
Nu filo 'e voce,
pero', truvaje mamma'
«Da 'a piccerella
ve faccio accumpagna'…»
Io, soreta e tu…
Jamm’o bar 'o Chiatamone
«Vuo' 'o cuppetto o vuo' 'o spumone?»
«Chello ca costa 'e cchiu'!»
Pe' ricordo 'e 'sta jurnata,
dint’a villa, ce hanno fatt’a foto…
Vuo' 'o pallone, vuo' 'o babba'
nun se fida 'e cammena'…
guardo a essa, guardo 'o mare…
sto' penzanno 'e ce 'a mena'… Ah… Ah…
ma, 'nnammurato,
só rassignato
nun ve veco cchiu'…
Mammeta, soreta e tu…
Mammeta, soreta e tu.
Jamm’o cinema, o abballa'…
si cercammo 'e ce 'a squaglia',
comm’a nu carabbiniere
chella vène a ce afferrá… Ah… Ah…
tu mm’e 'nguajato…
me sposo a n’ata,
nun ve veco cchiù…
Mammeta, soreta e tu…
pateto, frateto e tu…
nonneta, zieta,
pateto, frateto,
nonneta, soreta, e tu.
nonneta, soreta, e tu

Lyrics translation

I told you,
from the first date,
'e nun carry' nisciuno appriesso to thee…
Instead mo NU frato,
sister, nephew…
sola nun staje na vote
we're always on three!
And you promised me
"Tomorrow who knows…
I'm the only one coming.…
only with mom!»
Me, mammeta and you…
we passed on ' Tuledo,
nuje annanze and mammeta arreto…
Me mammeta and you…
Always learned,
crazy things
chesta veins pure 'O journey' and wedding…
Jamm'o cinema, or dazzle'…
we looked for each other and we squaglia.,
as a naked carabbiniere
chella vene a ce graba... Ah ... Ah…
but, ' nnammurato,
I'm reassigned.
I don't react anymore…
Me, mammeta and you…
Me, mammeta and you…
But St. Gennaro had made me ' to grace
L'ata matina
she didn't do it.
He kept his eyes and freve.,
it looked like it was crashing.,
I almost mme credevo
d'asci ' sulo cu te…
Nu wire and voice,
but, truvaje mamma.
"Give it to piccerella
I'll make you pile up'…»
Me, soreta and you…
Jamm'o bar ' O Chiatamone
"Vooo or cuppetto or vooo or spumone?»
"Chello, it costs a hell of a lot!»
On 'recollection' and ' sta journata,
dint'a villa, they took photos…
Volo ''O balloon, Volo ''O babba'
nun trusts 'and cammena'…
I look at it, I look at the sea…
I'm 'dangling' and I 'a mena' ... Ah ... Ah…
but, ' nnammurato,
only rassignato
I'll never see you again.…
Mammeta, soreta and you…
Mammeta, soreta and you.
Jamm'o cinema, or dazzle'…
we looked for each other and we squaglia.,
as a naked carabbiniere
chella comes to this grab ... Ah ... Ah…
you MM'e ' nguajato…
I'm getting married in N'ata,
UN ve veo cchiù…
Mammeta, soreta and you…
goofy, bro and you…
granny, aunt,
pathetic, brother,
grandma, sister, and you.
granny, sister, and you
