The Great Gigi L’Amoroso Dalida

M aybe someday you'll come
To the village I'm from
Right by the bay of beautiful Napoli
Where each Saturday night
As the vino takes flight
We sing and dance and love of life is free
Giorgio plays the guitar
Sandro the mandolin
And me I dance and bang on the tambourine
But when Gigi appears
The hurrahs and the cheers
Come from the crowd as he begins to sing

And in between each song
They shout and sing out strong

We love you
Gigi l'Amoroso
The greatest Italian lover since man discovered fire
Gigi l'Amoroso
If you only knew what you make us do
With your songs of desire
For each and every one his favourite song
Volare, Come Prima, Ö Sole Mio

Everyone loved Gigi
The baker's wife would leave her shop just to hear him sing
The notary's wife who was a saint blessed him and made the sign of the cross every time
He opened his mouth, and the widow, the young one
Tore her wigs to shreds and put on fancy lace
And on and on, everyone loved Gigi
Even me, even me, but
