Hi, Gio. I'll be glad to listen to "Something You Got" sometime tomorrow. If I can transcribe the lyrics I will.

Any chance you have a good English translation for "Canto di Maggio" as sung by La Ciapa Rusa? It is on their third album "O Senti Che Bel Canta".

Gio- Here are the words I hear. I hope this helps!
*******************

Something You Got (Detroit Emeralds- "Greatest Hits")

Something you got is turning me on
You're going to break up my happy home
'Cause you brought on my gypsy bone
And I can't leave you alone, Baby,

Something you got keeps turning me on
And you keep my head on fire
Burning with desire
I want to lift you higher and higher.

Baby, you're a real man flyer
And it fits me to a T.
And I'm so surprised, surprised, surprised
You kind of made a man out of me
You kind of made a man out of me

Something you got keeps turning me on
And you've changed my whole lifestyle.
Like taking candy from a child,
But I did it all with a smile.

You became a habit after a while
I could plainly, plainly see
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad,
You kind of made a man out of me (x4)

Something you got keeps turning me on (x4)

(Something you got) You took this piece of clay
(Something you got) And you molded it in your own way.
(Something you got) You showed me what to do and say
(Something you got) And then you loved me every day.

(Something you got) Showed me how to love you
(Something you got) Showed me how to love you
(Something you got) Showed me how to kiss you
(Something you got) And I never, never, never can resist you, Baby.

(Something you got…)

Many thanks Maeve for lyrics.
I don't know the Ciapa Rusa and I don't have got Canto di maggio in internet. I've see that Ciapa Rusa sings not in italian but in dialect of Piemonte. If you have link for this song, post it

Thanks, but I only have the "Canto di Maggio" on an LP record; no links for this song. La Ciapa Rusa was known in the '70's. They collected and sang traditional Piedmonte songs.

Here is a different song performed very well by La Ciapa Rusa - Re Gilardin (da "Ten da chent l'archet che la sunada l'è longa - Canti e danze tradizionali dell' alessandrino" 1982). Cindy Kallet here in Maine has also recorded this one.

It's ok that you can't help this time!
