St'ammore mme teneva 'ncatenato, Ma ho detto: "Basta!" e mme só' liberato Mme pare cchiù turchino 'o cielo, Mme pare cchiù lucente 'o mare... E 'o core canta pa felicitá! Chella llá, chella llá Mo va dicenno ca mme vò' lassá Se crede ca mme faccio 'o sango amaro, Se crede ca 'mpazzisco e po' mme sparo! Chella llá, chella llá Nun sape che piacere ca mme fa Mme ne piglio n'ata cchiù bella E chi sulla restarrá... Chella llá, chella llá, chella llá I have to laugh each time I think about him He thinks that I could never live without him He has a very funny notion That I'm gonna cry an ocean Because he found himself another dove Ha, ha, ha - hi, hi, hi There's more than just one apple on the tree Gonna find the dreamiest pigeon And I'll love that turtle dove Chella llá, chella llá, chella llá
