Calypso italiano - Luis Mariano Übersetzung ins Englische

Calypso italiano

Calypso, ay, calypso, ay, calypso italiano
Calypso, sì, calypso, sì, calypso siciliano

Savez-vous qu'un petit vent de folie
A soufflé sur toute l'Italie
Dans les rues, les gens frétillent
Sur des airs venus des Antilles

Calypso, ay, calypso, ay, calypso italiano
Calypso, sì, calypso, sì, calypso siciliano

En dansant pieds nus, chaque fillette
Tient en équilibre sur sa tête
Un panier où se trémoussent
Des ananas et des pamplemousses

Calypso, ay, calypso, ay, calypso italiano
Calypso, sì, calypso, sì, calypso siciliano

Les mamas en faisant leur lessive
Portent des foulards aux couleurs vives
S'appelant d'un ton tranquille
"Ma doudou";"mon oiseau des îles"

Calypso, ay, calypso, ay, calypso italiano
Calypso, sì, calypso, sì, calypso siciliano

Mais un jour, ce petit vent de folie
S'envolera loin de l'Italie
Remportant aux îles lointaines
Mille sérénades de napolitaines

Calypso, ay, calypso, ay, calypso italiano
Calypso, sì, calypso, sì, calypso siciliano

Italian Calypso

Calypso, ah, calypso, ah, Italian calypso
Calypso, yes, calypso, yes, Sicilian calypso

Do you know that a little wind of madness
Has blown across all of Italy?
In the streets, people are swaying,
To tunes from the West Indies.

Calypso, ah, calypso, ah, Italian calypso
Calypso, yes, calypso, yes, Sicilian calypso

Dancing barefoot, each little girl
Balances on her head
A basket where they jiggle,
Pineapples and grapefruits.

Calypso, ah, calypso, ah, Italian calypso
Calypso, yes, calypso, yes, Sicilian calypso

The mamas, while doing their laundry,
Wear brightly colored scarves,
Calling to each other in a tranquil tone,
"My darling," "my island bird."

Calypso, ah, calypso, ah, Italian calypso
Calypso, yes, calypso, yes, Sicilian calypso

But one day, this little wind of madness
Will fly away from Italy,
Carrying back to the distant islands
A thousand Neapolitan serenades.

Calypso, ah, calypso, ah, Italian calypso
Calypso, yes, calypso, yes, Sicilian calypso
