Souvenir d'Italie
- The moonlight
reflected
- the Mediterranean splendour,
- The silvery sand was a
- magical carpet of white,
- We shared with each other
- our kisses and willing surrender,
- And promised each other
- that we would remember that night.
-
- Then we had to
part broken hearted,
- You gave me a
shell as we parted . . .
- You told me to listen,
- For it had a
message for me.
-
- Pretty shell that
we found by the sea,
- Souvenir d'Italie!
-
- Pretty shell that
I took home with me,
- Souvenir d'Italie!
-
- Even though we are
so far apart,
- Still the shell
speaks to me,
- And a voice that
is yours,
- Calls me back to
your shores,
- Voice of love . .
.
- Souvenir d'Italie!

Ma pecché, nun me fa cchiú durmí
solo tu, m' 'o può dí
se ne gghiut'accussí
e me lass' partí
Souvenir, souvenir d'Italie!
