How do u say it do u say your of Italian descent or Sicilian descent what's your particular way? Just say that you're American, Botz. Because that's what you are.

Exactly,my mothers grandfather was from around Napoli,but my mother was always American.Especially here in Europe. That's when Italian Americans get their bubbles burst in a hurry. When they visit Italy and start acting "Italian." Think Paulie Walnuts when they went to Italy and Paulie asked for macaroni and gravy. It's hysterical. Off topic, but I always thought that was intentional by David Chase. To poke fun of Italian Americans who overdo it.

I cannot find the translation page I created so I'm just going to put this question here.
So someone is asking on my YouTube channel to translate the Italian lyrics into English for the song Catena. Is there anyone who can double check them for me before I put them up on the video. They are in the Neopolitan dialect. Thanks.
Also, What is a better word to use than chain?
Catena lyrics
Nun mme vuó' bene? E dimme, comme mmo ppuó' dí? Tu si' guagliona... Ll'ammore nun 'o ppuó' capí! Ch'aggia fá, pe' me è destino... Pe' st'uocchie belle tanto aggia suffrí?
Pe' me tu si' catena... Pe' ll'ate si' Maria... Io perdo 'a vita mia, Maria! Marí', pe' te! Tu nun mme dice maje, maje na parola!... Dimme na vota sola: "Te voglio bene" e po' famme murí!
Tu cante e ride... e mme turmiente 'a giuventù... Io mme ne moro, ma sempe 'a stessa rieste tu! Mamma chiagne e, a tutte ll'ore, mme dice: "Figlio, nun 'a penzá cchiù!" Pe' me tu si' catena... Dimme na vota sola: "Te voglio bene" e po' famme murí!
Catena lyrics English
Don't you love me? Tell me, you can say it You are, but a girl... You cannot understand love But for me it is our destiny Oh, those beautiful eyes How they make me suffer!
For me, you are the chain... To others you are just Mary But to me, you are my life Mary! Mary, You never say a word to me Tell me once I love you And then I shall die happy
You sing and laugh... You torment my youth I wish I was dead But it's always the same with you My mother cries and tells me Do not think of her
For me you are the chain To others you are just Mary But to me you are my life, Mary! Mary You never say a word to me Tell me once: I love you And then I shall die happy!

Think Paulie Walnuts when they went to Italy and Paulie asked for macaroni and gravy. It's hysterical. "Commendatore." That episode was truly hysterical.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

The Italian men he was trying to talk with seemed totally uninterested and when Paulie was with the prostitute and he was telling her that his family was from right around there, she could not have cared less.

Off topic, but I always thought that was intentional by David Chase. To poke fun of Italian Americans who overdo it. Definitely. Just like in Season 1, they are looking for the guys who robbed the teacher's car. And Paulie starts bitching in the coffee shop about how they appropriated Italian culture -- in his words "Expresso."

Off topic, but I always thought that was intentional by David Chase. To poke fun of Italian Americans who overdo it. I have Sicilian friends who have relatives in US and other countries. I was just recently talking to one of them about this very subject. She has relatives in US who decided to move back to Sicily and even have a wedding there. They were in for a cultural shock because the Sicily in their mind doesn't exist anymore. It's natural of course because the connection to the old country is from late 1800's or early 1900's. Just one example, they had planned that everyone in the wedding will dance tarantella, and of course only a couple of (older) people know how to do that anymore.
