MAMMA MIA, DAMMI CENTO LIRE

Mamma mia, dammi cento lire
che in America voglio andar

Cento lire sì, te li dò
ma in America no e poi no.

I fratelli alla finestra:
Mamma mia, lascèla andar

'Pena giunta in alto mare
bastimento si rialzò.

I miei capelli son ricci e belli
l'acqua del mare li marcirà

Le parole oi della mamma
son venute la verità.
MAMMA MIA, DAMMI CENTO LIRE

Oh Mom, give me a hundred pounds,
To America I want to go.
Oh mom give me a hundred pounds,
To America I want to go.

A hundred pounds I give them...
But to America no no no.
A hundred pounds I give them to you,
But to America no no no.

Her brothers at the window,
Oh mom, let her go.
Her brothers at the window,
Oh mom, let her go.

Just arriving on the high seas,
The ship is reversed.
While arriving on the high seas,
The ship is reversed.

My hair is curly and beautiful,
In sea water it will rot.
My hair is curly and beautiful,
In sea water it will rot.

The words of my brothers
Are those that have betrayed me.
The words of my brothers
Are those that have betrayed me.

Mother's words
Came true.
Mother's words
Came true.
