Mia cara madre
sta pe' trasi' natale
e a sta' luntano chiu'
me sape amaro
comme vurria appiccia'
duje tre biancal
comme vurria senti' nu zampugnaro
'e ninne mie facitele 'o presepio
e a tavola mettite 'o piatto mio
facite quanno e' a sera da' vigilia
comme si' mmiezo a vuje
stesse pur' io
e 'nce ne costa lacreme st' america
a nuje napulitane
pe' nuie ca 'nce chiagnimmo
o cielo e napule
comme e' amaro stu' pane
mia cara madre che sso'
che sso' 'e denare ?
pe' chi se chiagne a patria
nun so' niente
mo tengo quacche dollaro e me pare
ca nun so' stato maie tanto pezzente
me sonno tutt 'e notte a casa mia
e d''e criature meie ne sento 'a voce
ma a vuie ve sonno comm 'a na' mariaGigi D'alessio - Lacrime Napulitane - http://ru.motolyrics.com/gigi-dalessio/lacrime-napulitane-lyrics-english-translation.html

Gigi D'alessio - Neapolitan's tears (Английский перевод)
My dear mother,
Christmas is coming
and being away
makes me sad
how much would I love lighting
a couple of firecrackers
how much would I love hearing a piper
Make the cot for my baby daughter
and lay a plate for me on the table
do this on Chrirmas Eve
as if I were with you
me too
How many tears does it cost us this America
to us neapolitans
for us who weep
for the sky of Naples
bitterly as this bread
My dear mother what is
what is money good for?
For those weeping for homeland
it is nothing
I have many dollars and I feel
completely impoverished, more than ever
I'm dreaming every night of my home
and my daughter and I sense her voiceGigi D'alessio - Lacrime Napulitane - http://ru.motolyrics.com/gigi-dalessio/lacrime-napulitane-lyrics-english-translation.html
I also dream of you like (Virgin) Mary
with blades in her chest
before Her crucified Son
How many tears does it cost us this America
to us neapolitans
for us who weep
for the sky of Naples
bitterly as this bread
You've written to me
that lil'Assunta complains
about the one who left
and is still away
What can I say
If the daughter wants mommy
let her return to this madam
Me I won't return, I'll stay abroad
and continue working for everyone
Me who has lost home, homeland and honour
I'm just cannon fodder, I'm an immigrant
How many tears does it cost us this America
to us neapolitans
for us who weep
for the sky of Naples
bitterly as this bread
