Roma Forestiera

Che belli tempi quanno pe' lu rionesentivi ancora er sòno de ’n pianino,acordi de chitara e mandolino,e Nina s'affacciava dar barcone.Era un motivo sempriceca riscallava l'animade Roma nostra piena de bontà…

Nannarè!perché, perché te se’ ‘nnammoratade ‘sta musica ammerigana?Ma perché te se’ scordata che se’ romanae li stornelli nun canti più?For de porta en carozzellaa balla’ la tarantellaNannarella, nun vienghi piùco’ li fiori a la loggetta cò la spiga e la rughettaNannarella, nun ce se’ più…

C'era 'na vorta tutto quer che c'era,povera Roma nostra furastiera!

A chi la famo ormai la serenata,vecchia chitara amica de ‘sto core?Er canto de ‘sto popolo tenoreè ‘n armonia de favola passata:oggi le "baby" cantenotutte canzone a ritmoe Nina mo’ la chiameno "Nelly"

Nannarè! perché, perché te sei.....

Rome, A Stranger

What lovely times when in the neighborhoodthe sound of a piano could still be heard,guitar and mandolin accords,and Nina appeared on the balcony.It was a simple themethat warmed the soulof our Rome, full of goodness...

Nannarè!Why, oh why have you fallen in lovewith this American music?Oh why have you forgotten that you're Romanand don't sing our verses anymore?Outside in a carozzella 1to dance the tarantella 2Nannarella, you don't come anymore...with the flowers in the loggia 3with the lavender and the arugula...Nannarella, isn't here anymore...

Once upon a time it was all that it was,our poor Rome, a stranger!

Who do we serenade now,my old guitar, friend of this heart?The song of this tenor populationis a fabled harmony that's gone:Today the babies singall their songs to rhythmand Nina wants to be called "Nelly"

Nannarè! Why, oh why have you...
