We’re back to the startI won’t go to the landThru the eye of an eagleNothing seems to ruffle her
The life is going onBut why don’t you see meAgainst the meaning of my friendsI’m not ready to let you go
Please can’t you see my feelings and my lonely soulPlease can’t you my feelings and my lonely soul

Italiano

Parenti, amici, sono tutti qua,

Venuti da tanti Paesi d'Italia,

Famiglie di Francia, e anche dall’Australia,

Rosetta si sposa: gran festa si farà!

Bi-tum, Bi-tum, Bi-tum,

Batti piedi, batti le mani,
Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum,

alza le braccia, gira, gira,

Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum,

Organetto e tamburello

Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum, si balla la tarantella.

Si celebran le nozze come in Sicilia,

con tutte le comari a “mucatori”
??,
i maschi quasi tutti, portano la coppola,

C'è vino, salam, prosciutto e ricotta

La mamma di Rosa si commuove e piange,

perché a sua bambina lontana sarà,

il padre un po brillo canta troppo forte

presto un nipotino in casa arriverà
Français

Les parents, les amis sont tous là,
Venus de tant de villages d’Italie
Des familles de France, et aussi d’Australie
Rosetta se marie
: une grande fête se prépare
!

Bi-tum, Bi-tum, Bi-tum,

On tape des mains, on bat des mains
Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum,

On lève les bras, on tourne, on tourne

Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum,

Accordéon et tambourin
Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum, on danse la tarentelle

On célèbre la noce comme en Sicile
Avec toutes les commères qui portent foulard
Presque tous les hommes ont une casquette
Il y a du vin, du salami, du jambon et de la ricotta

La maman de Rosa est émue et pleure
Parce que sa fille partira loin
Le père un peu éméché chante trop fort
Bientôt un neveu arrivera


English

Family and friends are all here
Come from village all over Italy
Families from France, Australia too
Rosetta is getting married:

A big party is getting underway

Bi-tum, Bi-tum, Bi-tum,

we clap our hands, we clap our hands
Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum,

we lift our arms, we spin we spin
Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum,

Accordion and tambourine
Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum, we dance the tarentelle

We celebrate the wedding like in Sicily
With all the old girls in headscarves
Almost all the men wear caps
There’s wine, salami, ham and ricotta.

Rosa’s mama is moved to tears
Because her daughter will move far away
Father is a little tipsy and sings too loud
Soon a nephew will arrive

Italiano

Tutti giorni in questa strada,

alle sette ogni mattina,

il cuor turbato ma son pronto ad aspettare, un po’ nervoso,

questa ragazza camminando,

vedo passar davanti a me,

mi sembra un angelo caduto

solo per me.

Con tua pelle d'oro,

tuoi capelli
di grano,
e tuoi occhi d'azzurro,

tu sei, tu sei,

Con tua pelle d'oro,

tuoi capelli d’ebano
di grano,
e tuoi occhi d'azzuro,

tu sei, tu sei,

oh tu sei mi-o cie-lo.

Un lunedì dal cielo grigio,

vidi una stella nel tuo sguardo,

un enigma il tuo sorriso sulle tue labbra di velluto

il cuore mi suonò il tamburo,

ma presto lo sentii spezzare,

quando capii ché questa fiamma

bruciava,
ma non per me.


Français

Tous les jours dans cette rue
A sept heure tous les matins
Le cœur troublé mais prêt à attendre un peu nerveux
Cette fille qui avance,
Que je vois passer devant moi,
Et qui me semble être un ange tombé du ciel
Seulement pour moi

Avec ta peau dorée
Tes cheveux de blé
Et tes yeux bleus
Tu es, tu es,
Avec ta peau dorée
Tes cheveux de blé
Et tes yeux bleus
Tu es mon ciel

Un lundi de ciel gris
Je vis une étoile dans ton regard
Sur tes lèvres de velours
Ton sourire était une énigme
Mon cœur se mit à battre
Mais très vite il se brisa

Quand je compris que cette flamme
Brûlait
Mais pas pour moi


English

Every day in this street
At seven o’clock each morning
The heart troubled but ready to way a little anxiously
For this girl to go by
She walks in front of me
And seems to me like an angel
Fallen from the sky
Just for me

With your skin of gold
And your hair of silk
And your azure eyes
You are you are
Oh! you are my heaven

One Monday beneath a grey sky
I saw a star in your eyes
On your velvet lips
Your smile was an enigma
My heart began to beat
But was quickly broken
When I realized that this flame
Was burning
But not for me.
