Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Scugnizzo a New York by Nino D'Angelo from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cammine sule sule guardanne grattaciele
Walk on the sule guarding the skyscrapers
Lacreme senza pieta' pe' cchi nun vuo
Lacreme senza pieta' pe' cchi nun vuo
Cchiu' emigra'
Cchiu'emigra'
'na cartulina casa quanta malincunia
'na postcard house how much malincunia
Es l'allerie sta' citta' cchiu' cup'a' nera se fa'
Es l'allerie's 'city' cup'a' black if it does'
Pe chi sta' cca'
For who's going to be
'nu' scugnizze rire ma sta' maschere' busciarda
'nu' scugnizze rire ma sta' maschere' busciarda
S'ha ccuntente tutto pure quanno tiempe' brutto
He cared for everything even when it was bad
Fa' l'americano d'inta metropolitana
Make the American subway inta
Ma si vas into bar
But you vas into bar
Vuo' 'o ccafe' napulitane
Vuo' 'o ccafe' napulitane
E cerc'o sol'e','o mare due ali per volare
And cerc'o sol'e','o sea two wings to fly
Pe riturnna sta citta'
Pe riturnna is the city
Addo' qualcune ce' sta' allaspetta'
I'm going to wait for someone
'nu' scugnizze rire ma sta' maschere'
'nu' scugnizze rire ma sta' masks'
Busciarda
Busciarda Municipality
S'accuntenta tutto pure quanno tiempo e brutto
It's all about how bad and ugly it is
Fa' l'americano d'inta metropolitana
Make the American subway inta
Ma si va into bar vuo 'o ccafe' napulitane
But you go into bar vuo'o ccafe' napulitane
