Tonight I have to tell you something
That I've wanted to tell you for a long time
In Naples I've done everything
If I messed up
I didn't mean to make you suffer
Always put it in a song
Like I've been doing for fifty years
And when you meet someone who speaks ill of it
Sing them this song and they'll understand
If it's true, promise me to do these things
For another fifty years and keep it alive

No, without you
Naples would die
Only you know how to defend it
If only you
If you are like this city
They are emigrating and waiting for you
To dream
No
Listen to me
It can never be born
No one can resemble you
It's always been right
Naples is a mother
But what do you want
Because you are a father

If sometimes for distant troubles
In a postcard I will bring you
You need it especially during the night
When you feel alone and want to return
Make treasure of all these advices
Because no one ever
Gave them to me
Leave a postcard very scared
When in the fog the force was to sing
If it's true, promise me to do these things
For another fifty years and make it sing

No, without you
Naples would die
Only you know how to defend it
If only you
If you are like this city
They are emigrating and waiting for you
To dream
No
Listen to me
It can never be born
No one can resemble you
It's always been right
Naples is a mother
But what do you want
Because you are a father
No, without you
Naples would die
