Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When boy meets girl here's what they say)
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming signore
Scusami, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore
That's amore,
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, that's amore
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella" (Vita bel-, vita bella)
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Lucky fella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul, that's amore
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming signore
Scusami, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
Amore, that's amore
The song That's Amore by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin is a classic example of Italian-American romanticism. The lyrics focus on the magical and joyful feeling of falling in love, particularly in the city of Naples, where love is considered king. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song, describing the exuberance of young love in Naples. When a boy meets a girl, they say, "That's Amore!"
The song speaks of the beauty of falling in love, comparing it to the world shining after having too much wine. The phrase "that's Amore!" suggests that the feeling of love is like an explosion of joy that cannot be contained. The use of the Italian phrase "Vita bella" (beautiful life) reinforces the idea of the beauty and happiness that love brings. The song invokes the typical Italian imagery of bells ringing, music playing, and tarantella dancing, signifying that love is not just a feeling but a celebration.
