Marcellino Pane E Vino
Gigliola Cinquetti
Marcellino Bread and Wine
Sleep, sleep, Marcellino
'Cause the sun's gone away.
Your brothers, dear little one,
Are watching over you today.
Marcellino, bread and wine,
You need to close your eyes.
So many hearts along your path
Guarding you from all the lies.
Marcellino, bread and wine,
Sleep now, don’t you think.
You’re so kind and gentle
Like a little friar,
You’re so sweet and lovely,
Soft as fresh-baked bread.
You can ring the bells so well,
So, so perfectly,
Softly now,
Ding-dong, ding-dong,
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
Two and two make four,
Four and four make eight,
Eight and eight...
We’ll see that come tomorrow.
Marcellino, bread and wine,
Sleep now, don’t you think.
When the sun goes to sleep,
You should head to bed too.
Dream and sleep, Marcellino,
White bread and skies so blue.
Saint Francis watches over kids,
Always from up high.
