Nini Kangy
from NOA (Achinoam Nini) - Noapolis by Noa (Achinoam Nini)
lyrics
Conceta, yes concheta, that is my real name,
But for you, I am NINI KANGY!
Nini Kangy! a singer well known to all,
Sings operetta and cabaretta too!
They say she's French!
Or maybe she's a gypsy?
But I am just a neighborhood girl!
They whisper shes Brazilian..
Or maybe Algerian??
But I was born in the house just around the corner!
Hey sweetheart, what are you looking at?
You can take your look and go to hell!
Everyone says, it's amazing,
That there are three girls in the cafe
with beautiful voices..
well, Vera and Stella,
have bodies to die for,
but only Nini sing Napoli
like nobody else!
They say she's French!
Or maybe she's a gypsy?
But I am just a neighborhood girl!
They whisper she's Brazilian..
Or maybe Algerian??
But I was born in the house just around the corner!
Hey sweetheart, what are you looking at?
You can take your look and go to hell!
The other day a critic came to the cafe
Long ago she was a star,
She wrote pinocchio's nose is shorter!?
She wrote she's out of tune from top to bottom"
Since then, the lines outside our cafe have gone
From Vesuvio to Pompei!
I can't read very well,
They all say she's a devil,
She may be intelligent
But she looks like a beef pattie!
She was born up there in Rome,
Now she's here with us simpletons in Napoli!
Well, I don't need a diploma,
I have a short dress and a lot of chutzpah.
They say she's French
They say she's Brazilian
Or maybe she's from Tripoli?
Or maybe she's a gypsy??
I am not from Brazil or Tripoli,
The songs are from Napoli,
And I am? Yemenite!!
Hey sweetheart, what are you looking at?
You can take your look and go to hell!
But for you, I am NINI KANGY!
Nini Kangy! a singer well known to all,
Sings operetta and cabaretta too!
They say she's French!
Or maybe she's a gypsy?
But I am just a neighborhood girl!
They whisper shes Brazilian..
Or maybe Algerian??
But I was born in the house just around the corner!
Hey sweetheart, what are you looking at?
You can take your look and go to hell!
Everyone says, it's amazing,
That there are three girls in the cafe
with beautiful voices..
well, Vera and Stella,

but only Nini sing Napoli
like nobody else!
They say she's French!
Or maybe she's a gypsy?
