La nuova stella di Broadway [English translation]

He was a business man with an idea on his mind,

Her, a jazz dancer

Read William Blake near a window,

He'd drink coffee.

Watching those legs move, he thought:

"She's a star!"

Thought of Fred Astaire,

Him: a red carnation and words, an old cabriolet

Her: dressed like Ginger Rogers, thunder and lightning

Up there, in the blue sky, their name, silver among the stars

New York, New York!

Is a chance (bet) of love,

Call me and I'll dress you,

like a Broadway star

New York, New York!

Is a chance of love,

Call me and I'll dress you,

like a star of...

There outside Union Square,

neon light entering through a window

The smell of coffee

Lookong st those legs move he thought:

"She's a star!"

Thinking of Fred Astaire

And whoever hasn't seen the birth of a goddess

doesnt know what happiness is

Him: a red carnation and words, an old cabriolet

Her: dressed like Ginger Rogers, thunder and lightning

Up there, in the blue sky, their name, silver among the stars

New York, New York!

It's a chance of love.

Call me and I'll dress you

Like a Broadway star.

New York, New York!

It's a chance of love.

Call me and I'll dress you

Like a star of...
