Ciribiribin Lyrics

The Andrews Sisters

(Harry James/Jack Lawrence/Alberto Pestalozza)
When the moon hangs low in Napoli
There's a handsome gondolier
Every night he sings so happily
So his lady love can hear
In a manner so gravissimo
He repeats his serenade
And his heart beats so fortissimo
When she raises her Venetian shade
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin
Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her balcony
Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, she won't agree
Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above

Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love
Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her little balcony
Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, oh no, no, she won't agree
Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love
Ciribiribin che bel faccin
Che sguardo dolce assassin
Ciribiribin, ciribirbin, ciribirbin, che bel faccin
