Luciano Pavarotti's song "Neapolis" is a heartfelt tribute to the city of Naples, capturing the essence of its beauty, culture, and the deep emotional connection the singer feels towards it. The lyrics are a poetic expression of gratitude and love for the city, which is often referred to as 'Napule' in the local dialect. Pavarotti, known for his powerful and emotive voice, brings a sense of authenticity and passion to the song, making it a moving homage to his beloved city.

The song opens with the singer expressing that there is nothing more he could ever want under the blue sky of this city. This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the singer's contentment and happiness derived from being in Naples. The mention of thanking God for giving him this joy underscores the spiritual and profound connection he feels with the city. The recurring theme of the heart soaring and the air and sea's fragrance further emphasizes the sensory and emotional richness of Naples.

Pavarotti also touches on the idea of belonging and identity. Despite not being born in Naples, he feels a deep-rooted connection to the city, likening it to a mother and himself as her son. This metaphor speaks to the universal theme of finding one's place and feeling at home, regardless of one's origins. The song's repetition of the heart soaring and the passion for Naples in his blood reinforces the idea that the city is an integral part of his being, a sentiment that many listeners can relate to, whether they are from Naples or not.

"Neapolis" is not just a song; it is a celebration of the city's spirit, its people, and the profound impact it has on those who experience its charm. Pavarotti's powerful delivery and the evocative lyrics make it a timeless piece that resonates with anyone who has ever felt a deep connection to a place they call home.



Neapolis

No one could ever want more
No niente cchiù putesse maie vulé
under the blue sky of this city.
sott'o cielo azzurro esta città.
Feel for me this happiness
Siente pè me chesta felicità
and I thank God for giving it to you.
e ringrazio Dio che m'ha dato a'tte.
Now this heart flies
Mo' chistu core vola
here the air and sea smell.
cca ll'aria e mare addora.
And you don't know why this is my passion
E nun saie pecché chesta a passione mia
it's Naples.
è Napule
If you think that I wasn't born here
Si pienze po' ca nun so' nnato accà
under the sun falling from this city,
sott'o sole cascar da' sta città,
but this mother, I'm a son like you
ma chesta mamma so figlio comm'a tè
and in my soul I'm always here.
e dint'all'anima io stò sempre accà.
Now this heart flies
Mo' chistu core vola
here the air and sea smell.
cca ll'aria e mare addora.
And you don't know why this is my passion...
E nun saie pecché chesta a passione mia...
Now this heart sounds
Mo' chistu core sona
here a whole other story
cca tutta n'ata storia
and I know why in my blood there's Naples,
e sacc'io pecché dint'o sangue mio c'a Napule,
and I know why in my blood there's Naples for me.
e sacc'io pecché dint'o sangue mio c'a Napule pè mme.
