Te lasso
«'O ssaccio!... nun m' 'o ddi!... t'aggio capito: / mo ca te so' marito / te cride 'e cummannà» (I know... you don't have to tell me... I know what you mean: / now that I'm your husband / you think you can boss me around). These are the first few lines of Te lasso, one of Francesco Fiore's greatest hits that was put to music by the maestro Gaetano Lama and published by La Canzonetta company in 1924. The following year, the Neapolitan actor and director named Ubaldo Maria Del Colle directed and performed in a film with the same name that was inspired by the song itself composed by the Fiore-Lama duo. The version of Te lasso that we are proposing for your entertainment is performed by Salvatore Papaccio.
