C'è la luna mezz' u mare

C' 'na luna mezz'u mare
Mamma mia m'a maritare
Figlia mia, a cu te dare?
Mamma mia, pensace tu
 
Se te piglio lu pesciaiole isse vai
Isse vene, sempe lu pesce mane tene
Se ce 'ncappa la fantasia
Te pesculia, figghiuzza mia
 
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
 
Mamma dear, come over here
And see who's looking in my window
It's the baker boy and look
He's got a cannoli in his hand
 
If you marry the baker boy
He will come and he will go
He will always mix the flower in the pan
If you marry the baker boy
He'll have a cannoli in his hand
 
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
 
Mamma dear, come over here
And see who's looking in the window
It's the musician and he's got
The instrument in his hand
If you marry the musician
He will come and he will go
He will always be playing in the band
If you marry the musician
He'll have the trumpet in his hand
 
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
C' 'na luna mezz'u mare
Mamma mia m'a maritare
Figlia mia, a cu te dare?
Mamma mia, pensace tu
 
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la

There's the moon

There's the moon in the middle of the sea
Mother, I must get married
My daughter, to whom will I give you
Mother, I'll leave it up to you
If I'll give you to the fisherman
He'll come and go
He'll always have a fish in his hands
If he'll get any ideas/fantasies
He'll fish you oh my daughter
La la la, fried fish and baccala
We don't want any calamari
 
There's the moon in the middle of the sea
Mother, I must get married
My daughter, to whom will I give you
Mother, I'll leave it up to you
If I'll give you to the policeman
He'll come and go
He'll always have a rifle in his hands
If he'll get any ideas/fantasies
He'll rifle you oh my daughter
La la la, fried fish and baccala
We don't want any calamari
