Va cu te stu core amato
Pe' 'sta via ca porta a mare
Llá sta napule allummato
Mo ca scinne chesti ggrare
Vide 'o mare accumparé
Spanne ll'aria nu sapore
D'erba 'e scoglie e de magná'
Na cantina 'e piscatore
Tene 'o lume pronto giá
Fuoco e zuccaro 'o mellone:
Ce stennimmo 'nterr'â rena
Neve 'e 'sprinia 'into giarrone
'Ncielo 'e stelle e 'a luna chiena
E io canto: Qui fu napoli!
Nisciuno è meglio 'e me
Dimane penzo ê diebbete
Stasera só' nu rre!
Sentarraje 'ncopp'a la rena
Voce a stesa 'e marenare:
"Tira, ohé cha rezza vène"
"Forza ohé ch'aónna 'o mare"
"Tira arranca venga a me!"
Cu chitarre e lume a giorno
Na varchetta passa e va
Rossa e verde è ll'acqua, attuorno
Tu nun mange, pe' guardá
E I' te vaso 'sta vucchella
Cu cchiù sfizio e passione
'Sta vucchella sciuliarella
'Nfosa 'e vino e de mellone
E io canto: Qui fu napoli!
Vintun'ore ccá vicino
Nu rilorgio, ll'ora sona
Forse è 'ammore, forse è 'o vino
'Sta faccella s'abbandona:
Tu t'adduorme 'mbracci'a me
Pe' cuperta tiene 'e stelle
Pe' cuscino chistu core
Nonna nonna a st'uocchie belle
Só' sti vvoce 'e piscatore
Dinto suonno, smaniosa
Mo mme vuó' mo mme ne cacce
Po' te scite e, vrucculosa
T'annascunne 'int'a sti bbracce
E io canto: Qui fu napoli!
