Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please don't make me wait again

When will you say 'yes' to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh, my love, please tell me when

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it's me that you adore

I just saw Engelbert last night (Saturday January 14 2023) at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills and was SO happy he sang this. Simply a fabulous concert and he looks AMAZING at 86yo, may God bless him!

Thomas Phillips

Well, I wish he would give a concert in San Diego.

Christian

@Thomas Phillips Have you ever seen him live? If you haven’t, he’s definitely worth the drive from SD. This was the 3rd time I’ve seen him. 2005 Cerritos, 2015 Beverly Hills and now 2023 in Beverly Hills also.

Veronica A.

@Christian He was actually going to perform here in South Texas where I live, and my mom was considering going. Unfortunately, they cancelled the concert because not enough people bought tickets.
