Say, for an international song, maybe I should have looked at the International Lyrics Server. You won't believe how much time I wasted looking for these lyrics. Do they seem to be correct, Ezio?

PARLAMI D'AMORE MARIU'

(Bixio-Neri)

Cesare Andrea Bixio (1896-1978)


Come sei bella pi— bella stasera Mari—
Splende un sorriso di stelle sugli occhi tuoi blu
Anche se avverso il destino domani sar…
Oggi ti sono vicino perchŠ sospirar.

Parlami d'amore Mari—
Tutta la mia vita sei tu
Gli occhi tuoi belli brillano
Come due stelle scintillano.

Dimmi che illusione non Š
Dimmi che sei tutta per me
Qui sul tuo cuor non soffrir• mai pi—
Parlami d'amore Mari—.

Parlami d'amore Mari—...


Alternate:
Parlami d'amore Mari—
Tutta la mia vita sei tu
Gli occhi tuoi belli brillano
Fiama di sogno scintillano.

Dimmi che luzione non Š
Dimmi che sei tutta per me
Qui sul tuo core non soffro pi—
Parlami d'amore Mari—.

I'm not sure which version is correct, and my e-mail to Ezio got sent back, so I wasn't able to check with him. Haven't heard from him lately.

The composer and songwriter Cesare Andrea Bixio (1896-1978), early proved to be a very talented entrepreneur as well as a refined artist and founded the publishing Group that goes by his name back in the 20s. After scoring his first hits, among which the soundtrack of the first Italian talking movie, La Canzone dell'Amore, he worked intensely gathering around him a group of young talented artist which were to become the forefront of the renewal of the Italian song. Year after year, Gruppo Bixio has made its presence felt in the world of music with a repertoire ranging from the famous songs of the past to Italy's best known soundtracks, down to pop and Sanremo hits.
