Lyrics of Io tengo n'appartamento - Renato Carosone

Io tengo n'appartamento (original)

Io tengo n’appartamento a New York
'a parte e Mulberry street
Scrivo 'e canzone
E faccio 'e dollari
Io tengo pure 'a guagliona a New York
Ma c’aggia fa?
Sissignori l’America è bella
Ma 'a radice che tengo int' 'o core
Non mi da pace
Non son felice
Napoli senza di te
Io tengo n’appartamento a New York
'a parte e Melburry street
E faccio 'e dollari
Ma penso a te!
Yes!
Yes!
M’aggio m’parato a parlà
Yes!
Right!
È tutto O.K.
tutto all right!
Ma stu cielo che tengo 'America
Nunn' è 'o cielo ca tiene tu
Yes!
Yes!
M’aggio m’parato a parlà
Io tengo n’appartamento a New York
Etc

(translation)

I keep an apartment in New York
'apart and Mulberry street
I wrote and song
And I do and dollars
I also keep a guagliona in New York
But what's he doing?
Yes sir, America is beautiful
But 'a root that I hold int' 'or core
It doesn't give me peace
I am not happy
Naples without you
I keep an apartment in New York
'apart and Melburry street
And I do and dollars
But I think of you!
Yes!
Yes!
M'aggio learned to speak
Yes!
Right!
It's all OK.
all all right!
But my goodness I kept America
Nunn 'is' or heaven holds you
Yes!
Yes!
M'aggio learned to speak
I keep an apartment in New York
Etc
