by Libero Bovio (1883 - 1942)

A canzona 'e Napule
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
Mme ne vogl'i' a ll'America, 
Ca sta luntana assaje, 
Mme ne vogl'i' addò maje
Te pozzo 'ncuntrà cchiù.

Mme voglio scurdà 'o cielo, 
Tutt' 'e ccanzone e 'o mare, 
Mme voglio scurdà 'e Napule, 
Mme voglio scurdà 'e mammema, 
Mme voglio scurdà 'e te.

Nun voglio cchiù nutizie
D'amice e d' 'e pariente, 
Nun voglio sapè niente
'E chello ca se fa!

Mme voglio scurdà 'o cielo, 
Tutt' 'e ccanzone e 'o mare, 
Mme voglio scurdà 'e Napule, 
Mme voglio scurdà 'e mammema, 
Mme voglio scurdà 'e te.

Ma quanto è bella Napule, 
Stanotte è bella assaje!
Nun ll'aggio vista maje
Cchiù bella 'e comm'a mo!

Comme mme scordo 'o cielo, 
Tutt' 'e ccanzone e 'o mare?
Comme mme scordo 'e Napule?
Comme mme scordo 'e mammema?
Comme mme scordo 'e te?
