GUEST,# Lyr Req: Limeliters/Italian military march (14) RE: Lyr Req: Limeliters/Italian military march 07 May 21


One remark: The date given in the post of 06 May 21 - 02:05 PM is not a definite date. From some further reading it may be as early as 1860, so take that as an estimate. It begins to look like the original song from which the others came is the following:

ANNO: 1866

GRUPPO:
Testo e musica: (Anonimo)

Bella bambina,
capricciosa garibaldina,
tu sei la stella,
tu sei la bella di noi soldà.

Tu sei bambina,
bella bionda garibaldina;
tu sei la bella,
tu sei la stella di noi soldà

A Google translate of the above two stanzas provides the following:

Beautiful girl,
capricious Garibaldian,
you are the star,
you are the beauty of us soldiers.

You are a child,
beautiful blonde Garibaldian;
you are the beautiful,
you are the star of us soldiers
