I am not Italian and I'm not sure of any of the words. The best I can do is to phonetically spell out the few sounds of what I heard. It they ring a bell with anyone out there, please email me with the lyrics. jrtudean@hotmail.com I have always wanted to know the entire song. The men always started the song out by saying "Does your mother come from Italy." Parts of it are like this: Hey gumba, mama mia mari da, hey gumba mama mia mari da. ...mama mia mari dare Many thanks, JR |

23 Apr 06 - 01:43 PM (#1725415) Subject: RE: Mama Mia song From: Ferrara 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." You might check out this thread: Lyr Req: Lazy Mary / Luna Mezza Mare If it looks/sounds right, maybe someone one Mudcat can direct you to a recording for the tune, or I can get the tune to you one way or another.
