"Chella Lla" lyrics - CONNIE FRANCIS

St'ammore mme teneva 'ncatenato,
Ma ho detto: "Basta!" e mme so' liberato
Mme pare cchiu turchino 'o cielo,
Mme pare cchiu lucente 'o mare...
E 'o core canta p' 'a felicita!

Chella lla, chella lla
Mo va dicenno ca mme vo' lassa
Se crede ca mme faccio 'o sango amaro,
Se crede ca 'mpazzisco e po' mme sparo!
Chella lla, chella lla
Nun sape che piacere ca mme fa
Mme ne piglio n'ata cchiu bella
E chi sulla restarra...
Chella lla, chella lla, chella lla

I have to laugh each time I think about him
He thinks that I could never live without him
He has a very funny notion
That I'm gonna cry an ocean
Because he found himself another dove

Ha, ha, ha - hi, hi, hi
There's more than just one apple on the tree
Gonna find the dreamiest pigeon
And I'll love that turtle dove
Chella lla, chella lla, chella lla
