Rosalina, There was another request for this song some months ago, which I was able to answer. It should be available in the forum search, but alas, when I searched on my entries, that particular thread didn't show up. Here's the song, as I sent it to Frank. A couple of caveats: I took the song from Sing Out, then Frank and I changed it because we both remembered that it went a little differently and our memories agreed, then I wrote a fairly literal translation that would scan correctly. So it has been processed pretty well, but the Italian (really Neapolitan) is as accurate as I can make it.

My father (born near Naples) had the same Lou Monte record that Barry had, tho I also heard other versions when I was growing up.

C'e Na Luna

Note: The intro is sung at the start of every verse. The refrain is sung after every verse.

Intro: C'e 'na luna 'mmiezzo mare
Mama mi', vo' maritare
Figlia mia, chi da dare,
Mama mia penzate tu.

There's a moon above the sea,
Mama, I want to get married
Daughter mine, who should I give you?
Mama mine, it's up to you.

Refrain: Ai, Ai, A, pesce fritto e baccala
Eh, cumpa', pesce fritto e baccala.

Ay, ay, ah, fried fish and baccala',
Hey, goombah, we have fried fish and baccala'.
