The language is Italian, with the Napoleon dialect. The re-maker only used a small part of the original song sung by Renato Corasone. The Italian lyrics are:
Comme te po'
Comme te po'
Comme te po' capì chi te vò bene
si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l'ammore sotto 'a Luna
come te vene 'capa e di: "I love you!?"
Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano
fa l' americano!
Pa pa l' americano
Fa fa l' americano
whiskey soda e rockenroll
whiskey soda e rockenroll
whiskey soda e rockenroll...
Now, the Basic translation is:
How can you...
How can you...
How can you understand that I care about you
if you speak half American? [= broken English]
When we make love beneath the moon
How are you capable of saying "I love you"?
The "pa pa" part actually means something, "pa pa" is short for "pa parle", which means "we speak", due to research. Other than that reason, "pa pa" was put in to sound right.
The language is Neapolitan.
No, it's Italian. I know this because I am from Italy! Most people think that it is French, but it is not! Please believe me, as I can speak Italian!
Attendere se vostro proprio di Italia e la lingua poi il vostro non è sufficiente sapere l'italiano vero pieno di sangue... Io sono perché im pieno sangue italiano e solo ascoltando la canzone si può sentire la canzone e basta sapere l'italiano!
Speranza che si capisce!
It's in Neapolitan.
The main verse means this:
"Comme te po' capì chi te vò bene
si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l 'ammore sotto 'a Luna
come te vene 'capa e di:"I love you!?""
How can your loved one understand you
if you're speaking half American?
when you're out loving under the moon,
where do you get a phrase like 'I love you'?"
The rest is from the phrase "Tu vo fa l'Americano", which means, 'you're an American wannabe"

The "pa pa" part does not actually mean anything. It was inserted to replace the original lyric "tu vuo fa" which means "you want to be". The original song was sneering at Italians who adopted the trappings of American lifestyle: Baseball, Camel cigarettes, whiskey and sodas and rock and roll. The title could be translated "The American Wannabe".
Perhaps the "pa pa" was inserted because someone could not understand the thick Neapolitan accent the song is sung in. Later, someone who knew more French than Italian thought it was "parle pas" and came up with the idea that the song was about not speaking like an American.
