L'italiano
Gigliola Cinquetti
The Italian
To learn Italian
what a small job
your language disarms me
I can't handle it!
One moment slowly slowly
dear Mr. Chevalier
I came from Milan
to teach it to you:
Italian, Italian
it only speaks of love and sun
Italian, Italian
it's a cry of joy that rises in the sky!
No, it's not difficult to speak Italian.
Dear child I want to...
Don't worry but tell me good morning.
Well, there I lose my mind!
If you think it's easy
to pronounce good morning
with the accent of Bell'ville
it's not a piece of cake!
With a little routine
you'll see that one beautiful morning
you'll sing Valentine
in Neapolitan!
Italian, Italian
it only speaks of love and sun
Italian, Italian
it's a cry of joy that rises in the sky!
No, it's not difficult to speak Italian.
Child I think it's coming...
No, it's not difficult to speak Italian.
This time I've got it!
Italian, Italian
it only speaks of love and sun
Italian, Italian
it's a cry of joy that rises in the sky!
