La tarantella
Jammo a bedere 'nterr'a la rena
Mentre ca spánfia la luna chiena,
Ch'è notte e pare fosse matina...
Li piscature de Margellina,
Ca te cumbinano, friccicarella,
La tarantella, la tarantella...
Ca te cumbinano, friccicarella,
La tarantella, la tarantella....
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
N'ommo e na femmena 'mmiezo se fanno
A fá rociello la gente stanno...
Ma co' malizia, lo pescatore,
Mentre ch'abballa sa fá ll'ammore...
Non è sortanto pazziarella
La tarantella, la tarantella...
Non è sortanto pazziarella
La tarantella, la tarantella...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
Isso la 'nvita, chella è scornosa,
Po' fa la spruceta, po' n'è gelosa,
Po' nc'è ll'appicceco, 'nguerra se stace...
Po' s'addenocchiano, po' fanno pace...
Tutta specifica, políta e bella,
La tarantella, la tarantella...
Tutta specifica, políta e bella,
La tarantella, la tarantella...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
Ah, vorria essere no marenaro
E chillo spasso, ch'è tanto caro,
'mmiez'a 'sta Chiaja, ch'è 'no piacere,
Nce pigliarríamo tutte le ssere...
Po' vedarrisse si nun è bella,
La tarantella, la tarantella!...
Po' vedarrisse si nun è bella,
La tarantella, la tarantella!...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....

Translation
La tarantella
Let's go to the seacoast to see
While the full moon shines,
The night seems to be the morning,
The fishermen of Mergellina
Gather round you with the lively
The tarantella, the tarantella!
Gather round you with the lively
Tarantella, tarantella!
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
A man and a woman go to the middle,
The people comes to make a circle,
But with slyness, the fisherman
In dance flirts with her.
It's not only the joyous
Tarantella, tarantella!
It's not only the joyous
The tarantella, the tarantella!
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
He invites her, she's obstinate,
Now she is rude, now she is jealous,
Now they are at quarrel, now they are at war,
Then they kneel and make peace.
Gentle, pure and beautiful is
The tarantella, the tarantella!
Gentle, pure and beautiful is
The tarantella, the tarantella!
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
Ah, I also would like to be a seaman
And this merriment that is so fine,
In Chiaia, what a pleasure,
We'll arrange every evening!
Then you'll see if beautiful is
The tarantella, the tarantella!
Then you'll see if beautiful is
The tarantella, the tarantella!
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
Ttùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete - ttù...
E tiritùppete - ttùppete - ttùppete
La tarantella la llara lla llá....
