LYRICS (IN LOMBARD):

A disen la cansun la nass a Napuli
e certament g'han minga tucc i tort
Surriento, Margellina tucc i popoli
I'avran cantà almen vün miliun de volt
mi speri che s'offendera nissun
se parlom ün cicinin anca de num.

O mia bela Madunina che te brillet de luntan
tuta d'ora e piscinina, ti te dominet Milan
sota a ti se viv la vita se sta mai cui man in man
canten tucc "luntan de Napuli se moeur"
ma po' vegnen chi a Milan.

Adess ghè la cansun de Roma magica
de Nina er Cupolone e Rugantin
se sbaten in del Tever, roba tragica
esageren, me par, ün cicinin
Sperem che vegna minga la mania
de metes a cantà "Melano mia".

O mia bela Madunina che te brillet de luntan
tuta d'ora e piscinina, ti te dominet Milan
sota a ti se viv la vita se sta mai cui man in man
canten tucc "luntan de Napuli se moeur"
ma po' vegnen chi a Milan.

Si vegnì senza paüra
num ve songaremm la man
tucc el monda l'è paes e semm d'accord
ma Milan, l'è ün gran Milan!

LYRICS IN ENGLISH:

It is said: "Music is born in Naples"
and they are surely partly right.
Sorrento, Mergellina have been sung
by everybody about a million times.
I hope no one will take offence,
if we speak a little bit about us.

Oh my beautiful Madunina, who shine from far away,
golden and minute, you dominate Milan,
beneath you, life is lived, no one is never lazy.
Everybody sings: "You cannot live far from Naples",
but they all gather here in Milan!

Now there is the song of "magic Rome"
about Nina, the Cupolone, Rugantino.
They trow [their song] "Tragic Rome" in the Tiber
They exaggerate, it seems, a little bit...
Let's hope it won't come the mania
of singing: "My Melano"...

Oh my beautiful Madunina, who shine from far away,
golden and minute, you dominate Milan,
beneath you, life is lived, no one is never lazy.
Everybody sings: "You cannot live far from Naples",
but they all gather here in Milan!

Oh yes, come all without fear, we'll give you a hand:
the whole world is but a village - and we agree! -
but Milan is a great Milan!
-
Lombardy is an etnical, historical and geographical reality situated between the Alps and Po river.
