Il Dritto Di Chicago Lyrics in English Fred Buscaglione
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Dritto Di Chicago by Fred Buscaglione from Italian to English.
Sono il dritto di Chicago, Sugar Bing
I'm Chicago straight, Sugar Bing
Arrivato fresco fresco da Sing Sing
Arrived fresh from Sing Sing
Io ho avuto da bambino Al Capone per padrino
I had Al Capone as my godfather as a child
E mia madre mi allattava a whisky e gin
And my mother nursed me on whiskey and gin
Sono il dritto di Chicago, Sugar Bing
I'm Chicago straight, Sugar Bing
So sparare la pistola con lo swing
I know how to shoot the pistol with the swing
Io con Jimmy lo sfregiato sette banche ho svaligiato
I robbed seven banks with Jimmy the scarred one
Nello spazio limitato d'un mattin
In the limited space of a morning
(Ragazzi, mamma mia che spago
(Guys, my goodness, what a string
Quando per Chicago scende a passeggiar
When he goes for a walk in Chicago
Ragazzi, presto sorridete
Guys, smile soon
Se lo disturbate certo sparerà)
If you disturb him he will certainly shoot)
Sono il dritto di Chicago, Sugar Bing
I'm Chicago straight, Sugar Bing
Deputato del distretto di Sing Sing
Sing Sing District MP
Quando vedo una ragazza quella lì diventa pazza
When I see a girl she goes crazy
Perché Sugar tiene o' fascino latin
Because Sugar has Latin charm
Quando il grande poliziotto Peter Kan
When the great policeman Peter Kan
Fu in un bar di Cincinnati un po' villan
It was in a somewhat rude bar in Cincinnati
Lì per lì senza riguardo sollevai un gran biliardo
Then and there without heed I lifted a large billiard table
E glielo misi al collo come un astrakan
And I put it around his neck like an astrakhan
Quando ad Hollywood per caso capitai
When I ended up in Hollywood by chance
Ad un pranzo con Kim Novak non andai
I didn't go to lunch with Kim Novak
Di risate sempre ghiotto, per veder Gianni e Pinotto
Always fond of laughter, to see Gianni and Pinotto
Anche un bacio ad Ava Gardner rifiutai
I also refused a kiss to Ava Gardner
Sono il dritto di Chicago, Sugar Bing
I'm Chicago straight, Sugar Bing
Ho una villa riservata giù a Sing Sing
I have a villa reserved down in Sing Sing
Sorridete e salutate, state attenti o le buscate
Smile and say hello, be careful or you'll get hit
Sono il dritto di Chicago, Sugar Bing
I'm Chicago straight, Sugar Bing
Sono il dritto di Chicago, Sugar Bing
I'm Chicago straight, Sugar Bing
