Napule Amica Mia
Charles Aznavour
Naples, My Friend
Naples, my friend
You've entered my heart
A little piece of my life
I spent it with you
Naples, my friend
With a little street kid
Who’s been through a lot
With cups of coffee
And houses to survive
They're full of smuggling
That's Naples for you!
In the alleys of Totò
You get tired of making do
Always clenching your teeth
Walking on foot
Looking for work
You, Naples, now tremble
In the shadow of this Vesuvius
That holds so much fire
"You can even wake up!"
But it won't happen!
San Gennaro takes care
Of putting out the fears
And brightening the days
With a desire to hope
That everything will change!
You took from me
A piece of this life
For that little rascal
Made me fall in love
You, Naples, the most beautiful
The sea from back then
With her at the shore
I used to take her singing
"My sun is in front of you"
Naples, my friend
Through the dark alleys
And all this darkness
Can't be lit up
Naples, my friend
Drugs are a queen
And in this chaos
Someone might mess up
But luckily for you
The sky is a flag
And those who stop here
Never get tired of looking
Naples, my friend
Who cries while laughing
Watching the drama
Just like you do
You, Naples, now tremble
You, Naples, the most beautiful
The sea from back then
With her at the shore
I used to take her singing
"My sun, my sun is in front of you"
