Uè! Uè!

So' Catumbo 'o pellirossa 'o cchiù bello d' 'a tribù.

Coro:

Tumba Catumba… Tumba Catumba… Tumba Catumba… Tumba Catumba.

Comme me sceto me piazzo 'a penna 'ncapo

e a' faccia 'e sti selvagge,

io me faccio 'nu tatuaggio

col rossetto di mammà!

Tumba Catumba… Catumba mba!

Coro:

Tumba Catumba… Tumba Catumba!…

Ritornello:

So Catumbo 'o pellirossa,

tengo 'a lancia e 'a pippa 'e gesso.

Cca nisciuno me fa fesso!…

Songo 'o meglio d' 'a tribù!

Chi me chiamma: "Freccia nera".

Chi me chiamma: "Penna gialla".

Uh! Ma ll'anema d' 'a palla!…

Nun capisco niente cchiù!…

"Toro seduto" 'a cca,

"Cavallo pazzo" 'a llà,

atturno a me se metteno a ballà

So' Catumbo 'o pellirossa,

pellirossa americano…

Uh! Che spasso a fa l'indiano

col rossetto di mammà!…

Finale:

Chi me chiamma: "Freccia nera",

Chi me chiamma: "Penna Gialla".

Uh! Ma ll'anema d' 'a palla!…

Nun capisco niente cchiù!…

So' Catumbo 'o pellirossa,

pellirossa americano.

Uh! Che spasso a fa l'indiano

col rossetto di mammà!…
