La nuova stella di Broadway [English translation]

He was a businessman with an idea in his mind

She was a jazz dancer

She was reading William Blake next to a window

He was drinking coffee

Looking atthose legs move he thought

"She's a star"

He thought of Fred Astaire

Whoever hasn't seen a goddess be born

Whoever hasn't seen a goddess be born

Doesn't know what happiness is

Him, red carnation and words

An old cabriolet

Her, dressed like Ginger Rogers

Thunder and lightning

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

New York, New York

It's a gamble of love

Call me and I'll dress you up

Like a Broadway star

New York, New York

It's a gamble of love

Call me and I'll dress you up

Like a Broadway...

He woke up without her, naked in the storm

Outside of Union Square

Neon light leaking through a window

The smell of coffee

Looking atthose legs move he thought

"She's a star"

He thought of Fred Astaire

Whoever hasn't seen a goddess be born

Doesn't know what happiness is

Him, red carnation and words

An old cabriolet

Her, dressed like Ginger Rogers

Thunder and lightning

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

New York, New York

It's a gamble of love

Call me and I'll dress you up

Like a Broadway star

New York, New York

It's a gamble of love

Call me and I'll dress you up

Like a Broadway...
