That's Amore
Bobby Solo Lyrics

In Napoli where love is king
In the city of Napoli, where love is the most important thing.

When boy meets girl
When a young man meets a young woman.

Here's what they sing
This is what they sing.

When the moon hits your eye
When you see the moon and it catches your attention.

Like a big pizza pie, that's amore
It's a feeling of love, just like a big pizza pie.

When the world seems to shine
When everything around you seems bright and beautiful.

Like you've had too much wine, that's amore
It's a feeling of love that's so strong, it's like you're intoxicated.

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling
Bells will ring with a sweet, cheerful sound.

Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you'll sing, "Vita bella"
And you'll sing "Vita bella," which means "beautiful life."

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay
Your heart will start beating faster and faster.

Tippy-tippy-tay like a gay tarantella
It'll beat like a happy folk dance called "tarantella."

When the stars make you drool
When the stars amaze and fascinate you.

Just like a pasta e fasuli, that's amore
It's a feeling so wonderful, just like a delicious bowl of pasta e fasuli.

When you dance down the street
When you feel so happy, you want to dance in the street.

With a cloud at your feet, you're in love
Feeling so light and unencumbered that it feels like you could walk on clouds, you know you're in love.

When you walk in a dream
When you're lost in your thoughts and imagining things.

But you know, you're not dreaming signore
But you're aware that you're not actually sleeping and dreaming, sir.

Scusa me, but you see
Excuse me, but let me explain further.

Back in old Napoli, that's amore
In the past, in Napoli, that's what love was like.

That's amore
That's love.

Lucky fella
You're a lucky man.
