Canta Napoli.
Napoli in farmacia.
Eh eh.
Io cammino ogne notte,
io cammino sbarianno,
io nun tengo maje suonno,
nun chiudo maje ll'uocchie
e nun bevo cafè.
Va' te cócca, siente a me!
Va' te cócca, siente a me!
Na perziana ca sbatte,
nu lampione ca luce
e nu 'mbriaco ca dice,
bussanno a na porta:
"Mm'arape, Cuncè' !"
'A tre mise nun dormo cchiù,
na vucchella vurría scurdá.
Gente, diciteme comm'aggi''a fá.
Pígliate na pastiglia!
Pígliate na pastiglia,
siente a me!
Pe' mme fá addurmí,
pe' mme fá scurdá
il mio dolce amor.
Pígliate na pastiglia!
Pígliate na pastiglia,
siente a me!
Pe' mme fá sentí
come un gran pasciá
e mm'inebria il cuor.
Dint''e vvetrine 'e tutt''e farmaciste,
la vecchia camomilla ha dato il posto
alle palline 'e glicerofosfato,
bromotelevisionato,
grammi zero, zero, tre.
Ah!
Pígliate na pastiglia,
siente a me!
Dint''o scuro na gatta,
mastecanno na sarda,
doce doce mme guarda,
mme guarda, se struscia,
miagola e fa:
Siente a me, vatte a cuccá!
Siente a me, vatte a cuccá!
Só' nu ciuccio 'e carretta
carrecato d'ammore
ca se tira stu core,
stu core ca cerca la felicitá.
'A tre mise nun dormo cchiù,
na vucchella vurría scurdá.
Gente, diciteme comm'aggi''a fá.
Dint''e vvetrine 'e tutt''e farmaciste,
la vecchia camomilla ha dato il posto
alle palline 'e glicerofosfato,
bromotelevisionato,
diddittí, bicarbonato,
borotalco e seme 'e lino,
cataplasma e semolino,
na custata â fiorentina,
mortadella e duje panine
cu nu miezu litro 'e vino,
nu caffé con caffeina,
grammi zero, zero, tre.
Ah!
Pígliate na pastiglia,
siente a me!
