Oggi facciamo un salto negli anni ’50 perché è l’anniversario di matrimonio (ben 55 anni!) dei miei genitori e in questo tuffo nel passato con dedica a loro ero indeciso tra “Magic Moments” (1957) cantata da Perry Como e “That’s Amore” (1953) cantata da Dean Martin.

La scelta è ricaduta sulla seconda solo perché ho trovato un video di quella canzone all’interno del film del 1953 “Occhio alla palla” (The Caddy) interpretato dal mitico Jerry Lewis e dallo stesso Dean Martin che mi piaceva molto.

Buon ascolto e buona visione!

#thatsamore #deanmartin #55anniversario

(In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here’s what they say)
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That’s amore
When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine
That’s amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you’ll sing “Vita bella”
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul
That’s amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You’re in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you’re not dreaming signore
Scusami, but you see, back in old Napoli
That’s amore
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore
That’s amore,
When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, that’s amore
That’s amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you’ll sing “Vita bella” (Vita bel-, vita bella)
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Lucky fella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul, that’s amore
That’s amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You’re in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you’re not dreaming signore
Scusami, but you see, back in old Napoli
That’s amore
Amore, that’s amore
