Gondoli, Gondolà
Renato Carosone
Gondola, Gondola
A sailor on the bridge
Was looking at the moon singing like this
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
He was a sentimental gallant
Always looking at me and humming
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
He gave me a smile, came close
Started telling me love phrases
Second time Oh! What a night in Venice
Contemplating the moon
Let's row in the lagoon
What a beautiful dream of love
Bis… Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
Everything is sadness, my soul cries
Because at this hour you're going to travel
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
On the bridge I stayed alone
Oh! My life, you have to come back
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
If you want me, think of me
Write to me always, I want to love you.
I
An English girl, on the Grand Canal
Looks at the moon, sighs and says:
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
A sentimental baker's boy
Appears on the bridge and sings like this:
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
She smiles at him, he winks
And suddenly, love is born
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
Every night in Venice
With a quarter moon
Gliding on the lagoon
The most beautiful dream of love
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
II
Fly, dove, the sun gilds
The vaporetto that is leaving
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
On the Grand Canal, a wake remains
My soul, don't leave me
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
If you love me, think of me a little
Write to me a lot, don't forget me
Chorus: Gondola, gondola, gondola
Gondola, gondola
Every night in Venice
With a quarter moon
Gliding on the lagoon
The most beautiful dream of love
Finale: Gondola, gondolì.
Chorus: Gondola, gondola,
gondola, gondola,
gondola, gondolì.
