Oh Ma-ma Oh Ma-maOh Ma-ma, oh Ma-ma.

Sono Scappato Via Di CasaI ran away from home,
In Mezzo Ai Figli Della Stradaamong the children of the street.
Pero Pero Pero PeroBut, but, but, but,
Non Ti Ho Mai DimenticataI’ve never forgotten you.
Ti Rivedo Li AffacciataI see you there, looking out from the balcony.
Che Mi Chiami A Tutte Le OreYou call me at all hours.
Suona Pino C’ “O Scarrafone”Pino’s ‘The Little Cockroach’ song is playing.
Mi Da Un Bacio Dalla TerrazzaShe blows me a kiss from the terrace,
Come Se Passa La Processioneas if a religious procession is passing by.
Vola Una Tovaglia BiancaA white tablecloth flutters,
E Tu Sei La Sola E Santaand you’re the only one, a saint,
Ca Me Po’ Perduna’who’s able to forgive me.
Oi Ma’ Oi Ma’Hey Mom, hey Mom.

Ti Porto A Ballare Ma (Oh Ma-ma Oh Ma-ma)I’ll take you dancing, Mom (Oh Ma-ma, oh Ma-ma),
Il Cuore Fa Male Ma Stasera Il Mare Non Lo Samy heart hurts, but the sea doesn’t know it tonight.
Ce Fa Pazzia Oh Ma Oh Ma (Oh Ma-ma Oh Ma-ma)It makes us go wild, oh Mom, oh Mom (Oh Ma-ma, oh Ma-ma).
Na-na-na-na-na-na (Oh Ma-ma Oh Ma-ma)Na-na-na-na-na-na (Oh Ma-ma, oh Ma-ma).

L’ho Vista Giu Al Porto A Santa MariaI saw her down at the port in Santa Maria.
Sembrava Una Dea Ma Non Lo SapevaShe looked like a goddess, but she didn’t know it.
Lungomare MalinconiaOn the melancholy boardwalk.
Non Parla Ma Gli Occhi Fanno La SpiaShe doesn’t speak, but her eyes tell the truth.
E Tu Lo Sai Gia Oh Ma-ma Oh Ma-maAnd you already know it, oh Ma-ma, oh Ma-ma.
Che Sei Stata Il Mio Primo AmoreBecause you were my very first love.
Io So’ Sempre Il Tuo ScarrafoneI’m always your ‘little cockroach’.
