Yesterday we had been in “Schloss Nymphenburg” for the “Serenade im Park<\/a>“. I did not know about the close connection of Munich and Venice where even Gondolieres had been hired by the former Bavarian emperors… So it was quite natural to hear some Canzoni Napolitane, traditional songs like La Danza, Torna a Surriento, Santa Lucia while my favorite was “Tu vu\u00f2 f\u00e0 l’americano” by Maria Tselegidis<\/a>, simply wonderful also the encore. My limited Italian did not allow to understand the Neapolitan dialect that says<\/a><\/p>\n

Puorte\u2019 o canzone cu\u2019 \u2018nu stemma arreto,
\n\u2018na cuppulella cu \u2018a visiera aizata.
\nPasse scampanianno p\u00e8 Tuleto
\ncomme a\u2019 nu guappo pe\u2019 te fa guard\u00e0!<\/p>\n

Tu vu\u00f2 fa l\u2019americano!

\nSiente a me, chi t\u2019ho fa fa?
\nTu vuoi vivere alla moda

\ntu giochi al \u201cbasebal\u201d
\nma \u2018e solde pe\u2019 Camel
\nchi te li fa?..
\nLa borsetta di mamm\u00e0!
\nTu vu\u00f2 fa l\u2019americano
\n\u201cmmericano! mmericano!\u201d
\nma si nato in Italy!
\nSiente a mme non ce st\u00e0 niente a ffa
\nOkay, napolit\u00e0!

\nTu vu\u00f2 fa l\u2019american!<\/p>\n

Comme te po\u2019 cap\u00ec che te v\u00f2 bene

\nQuando se fa l\u2019amore sott\u2019a luna
\ncomme te vene \u2018capa e di \u201cj love you!?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

which is about an Italian who imitates an American (see translation<\/a>). Although I can’t replay the excellent performance of Maria Tselegidis here, there are several versions of ‘Tu vu\u00f2 f\u00e0 l’americano”\u00a0at Youtube – the famous one with Sophia Loren<\/a>, the Ripley variant<\/a> and a talented amateur version<\/a>. Or watch the Puppini Sisters:<\/p>\n

What’s the connection to Science Surf? I know also a lot of European scientists “vu\u00f2 f\u00e0 l’americano”, yea, yea.<\/p>\n\n
