Texts of the Neapolitan songs

Mme ne vogl'j' a ll'America,
Ca sta luntana assaje.
Mme ne vogl'j' 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 mò!

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?

I want to go to America,
Which is so far from here.
I want to go to where
I can't meet you anymore.

I want to forget the sky,
All the songs and the sea.
I want to forget Naples,
I want to forget my mother,
I want to forget you.

I don't want to hear anymore
The news about my friends and relatives.
I want to know nothing
About things that happen here!

I want to forget the sky,
All the songs and the sea.
I want to forget Naples,
I want to forget my mother,
I want to forget you.

But how beautiful Naples is!
Tonight it's so fine!
I have never seen it
Finer than now!

How can I forget the sky,
All the songs and the sea?
How can I forget Naples?
How can I forget my mother?
How can I forget you?
