Mambo Italiano
Dany Brillant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Des chants d'amour de l'Italie,
Ne partez pas pour Rome ou Napolie
Car on entend plus aujourd'hui que ce cri :
Eh mambo, mambo italiano,
Eh mambo, mambo italiano,
Go, go, go !!
Laisse là ta mandoline,
C'est le mambo qui domine
Eh mambo, bye bye les tarentelles,
Eh mambo, bye bye les ritournelles,
Eh mambo, mambo italiano
De Milano à Florence
C'est le seul pas que l'on danse
Et bientôt, disparaîtra le bel canto
Ca fait dormir les signorinas qui rêvent du mambo.
C'est plus chaud qu'un soir d'orage
Son tempo fait des ravages
Eh mambo, mambo italiano,
Eh mambo, mambo italiano,
Go, go, go !!
Là-haut la lune brille,
Dans les yeux la joie pétille,
Danse donc les jolies filles
Mambo italiano !!
(musique)
Les soupirs et les guitares sont perdus dans la bagarre
(musique)
Jusqu'aux bandits de Calabre qui trouvent ça formidable
(musique)
Chaque nuit, la tour de Pise en devient folle,
Et dans Venise, les gondoles vont danser le mambo.
C'est le rythme, la jeunesse, le bonheur, la joie, l'ivresse
Eh mambo, mambo italiano
Eh mambo, mambo italiano
Go, go, go !!
Pour faire un beau mariage
Si ton cœur est à la page
Danse donc c'est de ton âge
Mambo, mambo italiano !!
(Merci à Hélène pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics to Dany Brillant's "Mambo Italiano" are an invitation to dance to the lively and energetic mambo rhythm, which the singer says has eclipsed the more traditional music of Italy. He suggests that those yearning for the love songs of Italy need not journey to Rome or Naples as they will only hear the cry of "Eh mambo, mambo italiano" dominating the airwaves. The singer references Colombina, a character from Italian Commedia dell'arte, and encourages her to put down her mandolin and join in the mambo.
The lyrics go on to describe the mambo's popularity in various Italian cities, the disappearance of traditional bel canto music, which is replaced by the more dynamic rhythm of the mambo, and the joy and happiness that the dance brings to people as far away as Venice and Pisa. In a final invitation to dance, the singer suggests that the mambo is an appropriate musical choice for weddings and is something that people of all ages can enjoy.
Overall, the lyrics to "Mambo Italiano" celebrate the lively and dynamic nature of the mambo, its popularity in Italy, and its ability to bring joy and happiness to those who dance to it.
