Lyrics
Puorte o cazone cu 'nu stemma arreto
'na cuppulella cu 'a visiera alzata.
Passe scampanianno pe' Tuleto
camme a 'nu guappo pe' te fa guardà!
Tu vuò fa l' americano!
mmericano! mmericano
siente a me, chi t' ho fa fa?
tu vuoi vivere alla moda
ma se bevi whisky and soda
po' te sente 'e disturbà.
Tu abballe 'o roccorol
tu giochi al basebal '
ma 'e solde pe' Camel
chi te li dà? …
La borsetta di mammà!
Tu vuò fa l' americano
mmericano! mmericano!
ma si nato in Italy!
siente a mme
non ce sta' niente a ffa
o kay, napolitan!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Tu vuò fa l' american!
Comme te po' capì chi te vò bene
si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l 'ammore sotto 'a luna
come te vene 'capa e di:"I love you!?"
Tu vuò fa l' americano
mmericano! mmericano
siente a me, chi t’ho fa fa?
tu vuoi vivere alla moda…
You’re wearing trousers with a tag on the back
and a cap with the visor turned up,
parading around Tuleto
like a lady’s man trying to be seen
You’re acting all american,
american, american,
listen here: who’s asking you to?
You want to be all trendy,
but if you drink «whisky and soda»
you always end up sick!
You’re dancing rock and roll,
and playing baseball,
but where’d you get the money
for the Camel cigarettes?
Mummy’s handbag!
You’re acting all american,
american, american,
but you’re born in Italy, listen here:
there’s nothing you can do,
ok napoletano?!
You’re acting all american,
american, american,
How can your loved one understand
if you’re speaking half american?
When you’re out loving uder the moon,
where do you get a phrase like «I love you»?
You’re acting all american,
american, american,
but you’re born in Italy, listen here:
there’s nothing you can do,
ok napoletano?!
You’re acting all american,
american, american,
…whisky soda e rock and roll
Lyrics translation
Puorte a cazone with ' nu arreto coat of arms
the cuppulella with the visor up.
Passe scampanianno pe ' Tuleto
camme a 'nu guappo pe' makes you look!
You want to be an American!
mmericano! mmerican
feel me, chi t' ho fa fa?
you want to live in fashion
but if you drink whiskey and soda
he can hear you and disturb you.
You dazzle the roccorol
you play baseball .
ma 'e solde pe' Camel
who gives them to you? …
Mommy's purse!
You want to do the American
mmericano! mmericano!
but you were born in Italy!

kay, Neapolitan!
You want to do the american!
You want to do the american!
Comme Te po ' understood who will you well
if you speak 'mmiezzo americano?
When he makes love under the moon
as you come 'head and say:" I love you!?"
You want to do the American
