Mo’ vene Natale

Lyrics and Music by Renato Carosone (1957)

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

Mamma, mamma e damme ‘na mano
aroppedimane fernisce a semmana
e nun saccio che fa’
e nun saccio che fa’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

E vatte ‘a cucca’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

E vatte ‘a cucca’.

Mamma, mamma ‘e damme ‘na mano
aroppedimane fernisce a semmana
e nun saccio che fa’
e nun saccio che fa’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

E vatte ‘a cucca’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.
E vatte ‘a cucca’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

E vatte ‘a cucca’.

Mamma, mamma ‘e damme ‘na mano
aroppedimane fernisce a semmana
e nun saccio che fa’
e nun saccio che fa’.

Mo’ vene Natale
nun tengo denare
me leggio ‘o giurnale
e me vado ‘a cucca’.

E vatte ‘a cucca’.
E me vado ‘a cucca’.
E vatte ‘a cucca’.
E me vado ‘a cucca’

Christmas is Coming

Christmas is coming,

I’ll read the newspaper
and go to bed.
