Vesuvio By Spaccanapoli (Napoli and English translated lyrics)

[lokeymexican]

furio needs his own show with chuck norris

[batlady2]

@lokeymexican LOL! Yea that might work. Martial arts dude teams up with a maffia dude. I wonder where the guy who played Furio is now. I've not seen him in any other shows since the Sopranos.

[kulgan18]

@batlady2

According to the Internet, he has been dedicated to his art. Cause the guy is also a good painter...

[batlady2]

@kulgan18 Really? Well, I can't wait to see some of his paintings then. Maybe if I can find some published on the net I can put them in a video. Unless he does not want his paintings shared that way. Some artists are touchy about that sort of thing. I try and respect that when they are.

real napolitan soul!!!

[Ciufittino]

This is not Italian, but Neopolitan, the language of most of southern italy. It is not a dialect, though the Rome gov't still doesn't recognize it as anything else due to the political implications if it were to do so, however, the European Community did indeed recognize it, and so did the local Campania government announce its recognition last year October 2009. It has its own dialects, all with roots are directly from the Latin Vulgare with a mixture of Greek, French, Spanish and English.

[batlady2]

@Ciufittino Thank you for sharing information about the Italian and Neopolitan peoples.

[Shookones91]

@batlady2

hi im hookd on the sopranos cant get enough of it or this type of music could you please send me some links with this kind of music please! Greatest regards

[batlady2]

@Shookones91 Hi Shook! I wish I had some more songs like this to share but I don't. This is the first time I've heard music like this myself. I'm being told in here that its Napoli music and not Italian. From Naples. I would suggest typing in the YouTube search tool phrases like "Napoli music" or "music from Naples". Clufittion sent me some song links that were nice but they are not like this song. They were older more traditional songs. This song might just be a one of a kind one.

[cuccioloHouse]

It's not Italian... it's Neapolitan!! it's so different!! W NAPOLI !!!!

[carmensandiego939]

fantastici

[volvonate]

I like it but at 1:01 why the soul eater cosplay?

[batlady2]

@volvonate I thought that was just a young Italian person. LOL! When I typed "vesuvio" in the search tool at Deviant Art web site that image came up, it looked Italian so I used it. Sorry. (grin) I don't even know what a "soul eater cosplay" is.

[volvonate]

@batlady2 It is just a anime. Cosplay is when real people dress as the character. its not a bad thing haha. just kinda threw me off.

[batlady2]

@volvonate OH! Well we learn something new every day on Youtube and today i learned what a "cosplay" is. But he's dressed as a "soul eater"? From which story is that character from?

[mrhaider]

@batlady2 I know you posted this a month ago but hopefully this should clear things up tt's from a Japanese animated series called Soul Eater. Not in my taste but different and interesting nevertheless.

By the way thanks for the video, this song sends chills up my spine everytime I hear it even though I don't understand the language being sung.

[batlady2]

@mrhaider Thanks for the feed back. If you want to read the English translation words to this song just click on the arrows that point down in the information box right under the video. I've put the English translation to it there so we can all know what the song is about.

[har818]

This song is timeless, i've heard it a thousand times and each time is like the first.

[batlady2]

@har818 I agree! I love to listen to it in my car. I turn it up real loud every time so the whole world can hear it! LOL!

[antonio141371]

Napoli appartiene alla corona spagnola!!!

[lino721]

@antonio141371 napoli appariene ai napoletani ,niente più stranieri nella nostra terra ,via i padani e riprendiamoci la nostra libertà

[TONIKF]

@lino721 sbagli ! napoli è una città selvaggia,appartiene a te come a tto il mondo...la differenza non e nella città ma è nel saperla vivere,guardare,sentirla nell'anima....e questo puo farlo solo ki è nato qui !

[kekkopocho]

Respect For Naples...Beautiful City!

[FollettoAssassino]

if you like the good neapolitan sound, must hear the song of Lucariello (Lucariello "Cappotto di legno"), a rap in neapolitan dialect, to support the Nobel Roberto Saviano, threated by tha Camorra bosses, after his bestseller "Gomorra". with (at the end) the real voices of the bosses intercepetd by the detectives

[batlady2]

@FollettoAssassino Wow... thanks for that. I most certainly would like to hear that song. I will go check it out.

[FollettoAssassino]

@batlady2:

you're welcome ^_-

in that song an immaginary camorra-hitman talks while he's going to kill Saviano.

another legendary neapolitan bands (anti-fascist and very tough) are the 99POSSE and ZULU: their most explosive songs: "S'ADDA' APPICCIA' " "CURRE CURRE GUAGLIO' " "ODIO-RAPPRESAGLIA" "RIGURGITO ANTIFASCISTA" and many others :)

Enjoy ;D

[FollettoAssassino]

respect from Italy, bro! ;)

[RICOBLAB]

VIVA  NAPOLI!!!!

[batlady2]

@RICOBLAB Yes! VIVA NAPOLI!

[bhupeshnarain]

Nice song !!

[bhupeshnarain]

Thanx for the song.... I have been searching it for a long time....! I liked it though I didn't understand a single word of it, but now I know the meaning also...:)

[batlady2]

@bhupeshnarain Thanks for your feed back. I'm glad my Vesuvio video worked for you.

[bs09ags]

this band is great!!! i am Glad the Sopranos took me here!

[eaglenest90]

I love the music of Spaccanapoli. It's a shame that it had get associated with such a trashy show like the Sopranos. American media portrays Italo-Americans in the worst way. I don't know anyone that acts like people on the Sopranos - Thank God!

[batlady2]

@eaglenest90 I understand. Arab people get demonized in the media and in hollywood all the time too. Its not nice to do that to any people. But I think people with good sense know that Italian Americans are not like the Sopranos. I've never met any Italian Americans that act that way either. One good thing though is that I never would have heard this song had it not been for the Sopranos. And it makes me want to hear more Italian music.

[YomiTen]

@eaglenest90 You need to learn to seperate reality from entertainment. Just sit back and enjoy the show or don't. But don't think it's created to offend. You don't see people complaining about terminator portraying robots in a bad way LOL give it a break, it's just a show, it's not meant to be taken serious. And if you were that big a fan of the music you would be happy for it to reach so many people and influence so many souls.

Anyway, amazing song.

[YomiTen]

@eaglenest90 Then again... didn't the gambino family in new york just lose their boss? I'm sure I saw something about that in the news, It shows these kind of men do exist one way or another.

[piccoloquagliarella]

Hi!

Technically this is not Italian, it's neapolitan, our mother language.

In Naples we speak neapolitan, which is a mixture of mainly spanish, some french and, of course, italian. But, anyone who hears us speaking, will think it's Spanish.

Italian is, for us, the language of the invaders (1960, the bandit Garibaldi took on the Regno delle Due Sicilie, owned by Spanish Crown) :) any other italian can't understand the meaning of these words..VIVA NAPOLI! XDXD

[batlady2]

@piccoloquagliarella I just now saw this post from you. For some reason it was blocked out as "spam". There is nothing "spam" about it so I don't know why it was blocked. Any way thanks so much for all the info about the Neapolitan language. I had no idea about these differences. It never fails. We always learn something new on YouTube. And VIVA NAPOLI Right back at Ya!

[italianluvah83]

@piccoloquagliarella ..im italian american but speak napulitano, i refuse to speak italian. My family always called it "high italian" and said it was wrong lol

[keykeyx10000]

@piccoloquagliarella I lived there and I remember. Such a beautiful area. I lived in Caserta

[batlady2]

@keykeyx10000 It looks beautiful in pictures. That is probably as close as I will ever get to it. Just seeing it in pictures. (sigh)

[keykeyx10000]

@batlady2 Don't say that! I'm sure you will have the opportunity some day. If you do, take it. If not for the beauty, then for the food!!!

[batlady2]

@keykeyx10000 OH I want to visit there bad. I also want very much to see Palarimo Cicily. I was adopted but found out my biological maternal grand parents came from there. They came here to the US on a boat as immigrants. Its like Cicily is calling out to me in my heart.

[keykeyx10000]

@batlady2 I can tell. I can feel the passion in your words. May you be blessed in this life to see your motherland! :)

[batlady2]

@keykeyx10000 Thanks so much Keykey! Blessings back to you and yours also.

[italianluvah83]

good translation...this is one of my favorite songs

[batlady2]

@italianluvah83 Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

[damslam]

thank u so much

[HJHANIF1]

very good! ***************************

[batlady2]

@HJHANIF1 Thanks so much.

[HJHANIF1]

prego

[berenike000]

dats not italian its neapolitan dialect. theres a difference.

thx 4 the translation anyways!

[batlady2]

You are welcome Berenike. Its even better now that we can know what the song is about. For us that only understand English any way. The song is fantastic.

[dixon97a]

@berenike000 A big difference its more spanish than italian. . . .

[berenike000]

@dixon97a spanish?? wouldnt say that.

its my mother tongue...napoletano

[dixon97a]

@berenike000 My wifes mother tongue aswell and to outsiders it sounds more spanish than Italian. . .

[nesco1803]

@berenike000

Fuck me THAT'S why I didn't understand a single word. My Italian is rather bad, but I can get along.

At 1st I thought it was some Portuguese shit.

This Neapolitan sounds tough and hardened and totally opposite of soft and sweet Italian I hear on TV.

No flying over letters here.

Thanks for the info!

[lp32862]

Batlady is that you in the last photo? I f so I want to meet you. I live in Cali nearby?

[batlady2]

Well I'm flattered Lp but I'm married. And no that is not a picture of me. It only represents my cyber identity. Since some of my videos tend to be political and make some people very angry I stay "Bat" for all intents and purposes if you know what I mean. Not every one agrees with my personal political views. (grin)

[lp32862]

Thanks Batlady. This song is amazing. It is very haunting. When I first heard it, it was stuck in my head. The Sopranos was just great, in that they picked great songs like this.

[batlady2]

I'm glad you liked it LP. Don't forget to give it a good rating so that other people will notice it and watch it too. I think people who have heard it probably have not been able to read the words to it in English. But now they can because I found them and put them in my video description.

[forgotten612]

Hi batlady and TY SO much for this song and the translation, i simply fell in love with this song. and as i write this i have listened to it @20 times. and not stopping now.

[batlady2]

Your welcome FG! I'm glad you like it and thanks for the feed back. I love this song so much too! I play it in my car all the time and when it comes on I have to hear it at least twice before the next song plays.

[kisses2u4u]

I saw this In the sopranos and loved it to

[batlady2]

Just like Carmilla, I was never able to get that song out of my head. But it took me a long time to find out who the song was by. Finally found it on Wikipedia on a piece someone had written there about season 4 of the Sopranos. At least I had remembered the song was on the 4th season. Then I went to Itunes AND THEY HAD IT! YIPPY! Then I had to research what the song was about. So now I can finally rest (grin)

[misterbadabing]

Okay thanks batlady

[misterbadabing]

Where's the English translation?

[batlady2]

Look up in the box up at the right top of the screen. Where it says my screen name and then gives my description of the video. Click on "more info" and it opens the box to show you all the rest. The lyrics are there.

[batlady2]

Thanks for the feed back agent!

[agentdreyer]

Good work, the song is amazing =]

[weehare]

Thanks for the translation, I've been looking all over for it!

[batlady2]

You are welcome! And thank you for the feed back.
