1)
Hello -- can you hear me?
It's Salvatore
I had to call
I've been thinking
I want to know about the children
Are the children OK?
I'm tormented
and having bad thoughts
2)
How it is bitter to be far away
when you have a family.
When Napoli only appears on a post card.
I am miserable every hour of the day
and the only way I feel better
is when I amj moved by a song.
3)
Tell me -- is Gennarino near you?
Assuntelella,
how is she? - she's not sleeping?
Give them both a big hug
tell them that their papa' loves them very much.
4)
Repeat #2
5)
I can't stand being away freom you any longer
Tomorrow, I'll take the train
and return to Napoli
and I'll stay with you forever
and not roam any more.
Napoli is calling her son
like a mother
extending her arms Napolitano come back - come back
I don't want to die -- I cannot die.
