Subject: RE: Mama Mia song
Guest, it sounds like a variant of "C'e 'na Luna Mmiezzo Mare." It's a bawdy song along the lines of "I Must and I Will Get Married." Very popular.
The words you heard for the chorus, might mean, "Hey, buddy, my mama is giving me a husband" although I think the word for husband is sposo; but they may have said "maritare" (to marry) rather than "mari dare."
