Tarantella Napoletana
Mario Merola
Neapolitan Tarantella
Let's go, beautiful, let's go, beautiful
Let's dance this tarantella
With one couple and another
And let's do this dance.
What joy, what cheer,
How much fun, my Nennella,
Let's dance with clicks and clacks
With the tambourine and the triccabballacco!
Antonio is moving away now
Because his belly weighs a little,
He says that dancing is for fools
And he eats these macaroni.
Rosa, stop because it's known
That you're getting a little dizzy,
And if you dance this tarantella
Your head will spin too.
Vincenzo, stay still,
You want to go forward but instead you go back,
You've had a sip of wine
And you're making this ten of diamonds.
Amalia, sixty years old,
It seems like she's only twenty,
She dances and jumps, jumps and dances.
Ah, she's kicked off her shoe!
Let's go, young man,
Because we'll be up all night,
Let's go, little daughter,
Let's dance this tarantella.
Tambourine and little tambourine,
Shake and putipù,
In this tarantella
You have youth....
Hey hey hey.
