Verse 1:
There's a very very merry little love song that they say has magic powes;
Sing along this very merry little love song
and the world will smile at you.
Refrain:
"Tiritomba, Tiritomba,"
say the magic word thats all you have to do.
"Tiritomba, Tiritomba,"
and your dreams will all come true.
Verse 2:
When you court a pretty little signorina
and the night is dark and mellow,
go beneath her window with your mandolin and
serernade her with this song:
Refrain:
"Tiritomba, Tiritomba,"
say the magic word thats all you have to do.
"Tiritomba, Tiritomba,"
and your dreams will all come true.
Verse 3 (In Italian):
Sera jette, sera jette_a la marina,
Pe trava 'na 'nnamorata,
Jonca_e rossa, janca_e rossa_aggrazziata,
Fatto proprio pe sciala.
Refrain:
Tiritomba, Tiritomba,
Tiritomba ne lu vero si ono?
Tiritomba, Tiritomba,
Tiritomba_all_aria va!
It is the most lovely little Italian song and especially beautiful when sung by Joseph Schmidt who died in 1942 in Switzerland, after the Nazis deported him.
