Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
L'arte 'e ce arrangiá tra stelle e Tarantelle
Pe' tutt'Italia 'o ssaje simmo 'e Desaparecidos
Partimmo zero a uno sempe dinto A 'sta partita
Tenimmo 'a storia scritta nascosta Areto 'a porta
Passammo 'a vita nostra Adderezzanno a' tella storta
'A cazzimma pe' quanno 'a vita Vatte forte
'E sant 'mparaviso pe' cchi nasce Senza ciorta
Chi scagne a 'nu diavule pe' L'angelo custode
'A piccerille nuje criscimmo senza Nu capriccio
'E Pate cresceno 'e figlie cu ppochi Sorde 'e spiccie
Tenimme 'o sole e 'o mare
Napule è anema e core
Tenimme 'o sole e o' mare
Napule cu nu surriso amaro
Tenimme 'o sole e 'o mare
Napule è anema e core
Tenimme 'o sole e o' mare
Napule cu nu surriso amaro
'A vit e 'na livella 'a vita te fa fesso
E nnuje 'a piccerille frá avimmo 'A Fá ambresso"
'O sole è bbello ma dinto 'e viche Nun ce trase
E stasera quacche ffrate nun S'arretire 'a casa
'E scarpe cunsumate e nu surrise Amaro
'E rrezze d'e piscature lasciate 'Nmiez 'o mare
'A Terra mia che appocundria Cantava Zio Pino
A ffinale nuje murimmo a Ttarallucce e vvino
Pensammo a ogge senza sapé che È stato
Chi ha avuto ha avuto ha avuto Chi ha dato ha dato ha dato
Scurdammece 'o ppassato po' Tenimmece pe' mmane
Nuje ca te dammo 'o core simme Napulitane
Napule dinto 'o munno
Napule è tutta 'nu suonno
Napule d'e brigante e d'e francise
Napule d'e scugnizze muorte Accise
Tenimme 'o sole e 'o mare
Napule è anema e core
Tenimme 'o sole e o' mare
Napule cu nu surriso amaro
Tenimme 'o sole e 'o mare
Napule è anema e core
Tenimme 'o sole e o' mare
Napule cu nu surriso amaro
Napule 'ngoppo 'e ddete sporche 'E 'nu Sciuscià
Sotto 'o maletiempo tirammo a Campà
'A scola d'a strada e te 'mpare a T'arrangià
'Na preghiera a San Gennaro 'a Nuttata adda 'a passà
Da sempe giudicate 'a chi nasce Figlio 'e papá
Nuje 'e notte in terza classe pronte Pe' emigrà
Nuje simmo 'e clandestine dinto 'a Casa nostra
Napoli streetfood zuppa 'e latte e Ppane tuosto
Tenimme 'o sole e 'o mare
Napule è anema e core
Tenimme 'o sole e o' mare
Napule cu nu surriso amaro
Tenimme 'o sole e 'o mare
Napule è anema e core
Tenimme 'o sole e o' mare
Napule cu nu surriso amaro
Napule dinto 'o munno
Napule è tutta 'nu suonno
Napule d'e brigante e d'e francise
Napule d'e scugnizze muorte Accise
Napule ca parla pur Americano
Napule ca zitta astregne 'sti Mmane
Napule è arrivata fino a Hollywood
Napoli in the fucking world
