Thread Name: Origin: Vieni Sul Mar
Subject: RE: Vieni Sul Mar/Ziene Sur Nul Instrumental Title
The words posted by MTed and by Sorcha are for two different songs. Sorcha's are for the Neapolitan song, and MTed's for one that seems to be from northern Italy, but both are well-known in the Neapolitan area, and, I would presume, all over Italy.
Vieni sul mar, also known as Deh! ti desta fanciulla, is sung by Tito Schipa, here:
Vieni sul mar
The two line 'bridge,' or chorus (Ferrara, above) is repeated.

I haven't seen a good translation of Deh! ti desta fanciulla.
