Disney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte

So take the love of your loved one

You'll need it about this time
To keep from falling like a star
When you make that dizzy bee climb
For this is the night and the heavens are bright

On this lovely bella notte
On this lovely bella notte

Overall Meaning

The song Bella Notte was originally composed by Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke, and was later featured in the animated Disney film Lady and the Tramp. The song is performed by a chorus in the film and serves as the backdrop for the iconic scene where Lady and Tramp share a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. The lyrics of the song are expressive of the beautiful night sky and the romance of the moment.

The opening lines "This is the night, It's a beautiful night" sets the tone for the romantic evening that Lady and Tramp experience as they fall in love over a delicious meal. The reference to "Bella Note" which translates to beautiful night in Italian, further emphasizes the romantic atmosphere of the occasion. The second stanza encourages the listener to take advantage of the moment and to be with the one they love, and warns them of the perils that come with such dizzying emotions. The final stanza re-emphasizes the beautiful setting of the night sky and reminds the listener to cherish the moment, because it is one that they will look back on with fondness.
