Italian - Neapolitan Lyrics
St'ammore
Me teneva 'ncatenato
Ma ho detto basta e
Mi so' liberato
Me pare cchiu'
Turchino 'o mare
Me pare cchiu'
Lucente 'o sole
E sto' cantanno
P' 'a felicita'.

Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Mo' va dicenno
'ca me vo' lassa'
Se crede
'ca me faccio 'o
Sangue amaro
Se crede
'ca 'mpazzisco e
Po' me sparo
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere
'ca me fa
Me ne piglio
Nata cchiu' bella
E zitella restarra'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'!

Ajere m'ha mandato
Nu' biglietto
P' 'a figlia
D' 'o purtiere
Di rimpetto
Me scrive
C' 'a nun e' felice
E c' 'a vurria
Cu me fa pace
Ma io me sto
Gustanno 'a liberta'.

Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Mo' va dicenno
'ca me vo' lassa'
Se crede
'ca me faccio 'o
Sangue amaro
Se crede
'ca 'mpazzisco e
Po' me sparo
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere
'ca me fa
Me ne piglio
Nata cchiu' bella
E zitella restarra'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'!
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Nun sape che piacere
'ca me fa
Me ne piglio
Nata cchiu' bella
E zitella restarra'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'
Chella lla'

English Lyrics
This love
had me in chains
I said "Enough!"
and I broke free.
The sea looks
bluer to me,
the sun looks
brighter to me
and I'm singing
from happiness.

That woman,
that woman
now goes around saying
she wants to leave me.
she believes
I'll eat
my heart out
she believes
I'll go crazy
and I'll shoot myself.
That woman,
that woman
doesn't know
how relieved I am.
I'll find another,
more beautiful woman
and she'll be an old maid,
that woman,
that woman,
that woman!

Yesterday she had
a note delivered to me
by the daughter
of the caretaker
of the building next door
She says
she's unhappy
and wants to
make peace with me
But I'm enjoying
freedom.

That woman,
that woman
now goes around saying
she wants to leave me.
she believes
I'll eat
my heart out
she believes
I'll go crazy
and I'll shoot myself.
That woman,
that woman
doesn't know
how relieved I am.
I'll find another,
more beautiful woman
and she'll be an old maid,
that woman,
that woman,
that woman!
That woman,
that woman
doesn't know
how relieved I am.
I'll find another,
more beautiful woman
and she'll be an old maid,
that woman,
that woman,
that woman!
