In your eyes you have Mergellina 1
in your heart Marechiaro 2
you have the face of this city
You speak with the vileness of the neighborhoods
but you can become
gentleman like Vomero3
I'm running far away, I hate you
but I'm coming back to love you!
Naples
when you make me make love
you are Naples
even when you hurt me
you are Naples
You're educated and you're ignorant
you're bonehead and intelligent
you're all the things together
you are Naples
You're intriguing and arrogant
mysterious and transparent
you're mafia and good people
you are Naples
you make me laugh and then cry
you are Naples
You caress the wind in San Martino 4
your hands are soiled
you scent like cleanness
You kiss me and I'm in Forcella 5
you confuse me but you're beautiful
you're just like this city
I'm running far away, I hate you
but I'm coming back to love you!
Naples
when you make me make love
you are Naples
even when you hurt me
you are Naples
You're patient you're a saint
you're a resentment of the people
you're culpable and innocent
you are Naples
You're passion and treachery
you have everything and you have nothing
you're all the things together
you are Naples
you make me laugh and then cry
you're Naples
You're patient you're a saint
you're a resentment of the people
you're culpable and innocent
you are Naples
You're passion and treachery
you have everything and you have nothing
you're all the things together
you are Naples
you make me laugh and then cry
you're Naples
