13 Aug 01 - 06:55 PM (#527126) Subject: Know a Good site for Italian lyrics? From: GUEST,Giannina I keep searching various websites--to no avail!--for the Italian lyrics to "C'est La Luna," made popular by Louis Prima. I would also like the Spanish lyrics to "Vaya Con Dios," and "Before The Next Teardrop Falls." Do you know of any sites where I can get lyrics in Italian (and other languages, e.g., French, Spanish, Yiddish, German, Norwegian, Hawaiian)? I know these songs may not be Mudcat's" type, but I keep s triking out when I try other ways of searching. I am not looking for sites to buy CD's. Not that I am opposed to buying them, but I specifically want to be able to hear the song(s) and have the lyric sheet, too, in order to learn the song. Many CD's do not have lyric sheets, and sheet music by itself is not as helpful as having both. |

13 Aug 01 - 07:23 PM (#527158) Subject: Lyr Add: VAYA CON DIOS From: Sorcha I don't know if Vaya con Dios has been translated into Spanish; I believe it was written in English; here is the English. I have no clue what would happen if you pasted it into Text Translator
VAYA CON DIOS
Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping;
Vaya con Dios my darling,
Wherever you may be, I'll be beside you,
Vaya con Dios, my darling:
Now the village mission bells are softly ringing,
Wherever you may be I'll be beside you,
Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow, (It looks to me like the phrase/title C'est La Luna is French, not Italian........didn't find anything about it, do you have another phrase from it?) |

13 Aug 01 - 09:39 PM (#527306) Subject: RE: Help: Know a Good site for Italian lyrics? From: GUEST,Dale Rose This site is a good source of French Lyrics In the upper left hand corner you'll find a choice of Québec et Acadie or Europe. I have found it helpful with lyrics to many songs, especially for Québec et Acadie, as they say.
Another very interesting site for lyrics is specific to Silent Night, Sainte Nuit, Stille Nacht, Glade Jul, Stilla Natt, etc, etc. 155 versions of Silent Night in 106 different languages! I LOVE this site, and of course, the many versions of the song. As an aside, my current favorites are Carola Häggkvist ~~ Swedish, Sissel Kyrkjebø ~~ Norwegian, and Marie-Michèle Desrosiers ~~ French Canadian. No extra charge for that.
If you really want more of the same, primarily artist specific, let me know who you are looking for, and I'll tell you if I know where to find them or can locate them. For example, Go here for Carola's lyrics, mostly in Swedish Click on the album you want lyrics from, then when that page comes up, click lyrics, then the specific song. For example, here is Sov på min arm from the album of the same name. This is from the English version of her site, but if you scout around a bit, you can find it in Swedish, too. In fact, her bio is only in Swedish at present. I haven't totally exhausted my resources, but I'd have to think for a bit, not to mention wasting lots of time if I put up links to people you are not interested in. So far my wanderings have not extended much beyond Swedish, Norwegian, German, French and Spanish.

It is "C'e La Luna," (pronounced "che la loona") , not "C'est La Luna." It is definitely Italian ( "Mama mia... " in the chorus, sung by Louis Prima and Dean Martin, etc.) I just don't know most of the words. |

The spanish words may have been done as an afterthought, though, as the song was, I believe, written originally in English. |

I already knew it, but it's nice to have it printed out with chords. Freddy Fender sings it in both English and Spanish. Do you know where I can find the Spanish words? I actually have various lyric and music sheets for the English, but none of them contain the Spanish words. |

14 Aug 01 - 06:33 AM (#527506) Subject: RE: Help: Know a Good site for Italian lyrics? From: Wolfgang Try here for C'e la Luna. It is the opening line of a song.

12 May 02 - 03:45 PM (#709621) Subject: Lyr Add: LUNA MEZZ'O MARE (Paolo Citarella?) From: GUEST,Giannina (il mio nome in Italiano) I thought I'd post the lyrics Wolfgang referred me to so maybe someone can help with a problem. (Note that "Mamma mia me maritare" is a repeated hook line but is not in the actual chorus"
LUNA MEZZ'O MARE
C'e la luna mezz'o mare, Mamma mia, me maritari, CHO: O Mamma, piscia fritta baccala, O Mamma, piscia fritta baccala.
Si ci dugnu lu babberi (barber) Iddu va, Iddu veni
Si ci dugnu falignami (woodmaker) Iddu va, iddu veni
Si ci dugnu lu scapparu (shoemaker) Iddu va, iddu veni
Si ci dugnu zuppunaro (farmer) Iddu va, iddu veni
Si ci dugnu macillaiu (butcher) Iddu va, iddu veni
Si ci dugnu piscialiolu (fisherman) Iddu va, iddu veni Problem: The first verse and chorus fit with the tune I know, but the other verses have an extra line. How does that extra line work with the tune? Is there an extra musical line for the other verses?

21 May 03 - 11:48 AM (#956998) Subject: RE: Know a Good site for Italian lyrics? (& others) From: Ferrara Damn! Many years ago, I posted a full Neapolitan version of "C'e 'na Luna Mmiezzo Mare," which is the Neapolitan spelling more or less. A gentleman wanted to sing it at his son's wedding. He was of Neapolitan background and that dialect worked for him. He did sing it there, a great success. Don't know where it's disappeared to, don't seem to have a copy. Rats.... Don't know if I could reconstruct it now. You know, I just remembered. I found the verses in Sing Out! Frank and I reconstructed the chorus from memory though, the Sing Out one was not what we remembered. Here's how Frank and I remembered the chorus, I think I learned it from Lou Monte though, not from my family :-) Ay Ay ya, Pisce fritt' e baccala', Oi cumpa', pisce fritt' e baccala' where by the way cumpa' is pronounced "goombah," anybody remember Godfrey & La Rosa saying "hey goombah!" to each other or is that another of my misplaced memories? Well this just thread creep I guess.... Rita Rita (click for lyrics) |

(words sung by lead only) Tap, tap, stitch and tap Make me a pair of shoes Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare. Bailaremos tutusi. Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare. Bailaremos con cosi. In the shoemaker's shop this refrain would never stop As he tapped away, working all the day (At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee) Little time to lose for the boots and shoes But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop When a lovely girl set 'em all a-whirl She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes And he heard her say in a charming way Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing all the day Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away (Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers were bewitched) And he sewed a dream into every seam (Making shoes, oh, so neat just like magic on her feet) And he hoped she'd know that he loved her so But she danced, danced, danced as though she were entranced Like a spinning top all around the shop On her dainty feet she whirled into the street And he heard her say as she danced away Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare. Bailaremos tutusi. Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare. Bailaremos con cosi. Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away All my cares away!! As recorded by The Gaylords, 1954 Peaked at # 2 in 1954 Competing version by Winterhalter's Orchestra & Chorus and a Friend hit #9. The uncredited lead singer was Eddie Fisher. |
