Gérard Darmon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it is time to say good night to Napoli
though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
without the moon above the mediterranean sea
In the morning signorina we'll go walkin
with the mountains at the moon coming at the side
and by the little jewelly shop we'll stop ringer
in the meantime let me tell you that I love you
buona sera signorina kiss me good night
buona sera signorina kiss me good night
[Chorus]
Buona sera signorina, buona sera
it's time to say good night to Napoli
though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
without the moon above the meditteranean sea
In the morning signorina we'll go walkin
with the mountains at the moon coming at the side
and by the little jewelly shop we'll stop ringer
while I will buy wedding ring for your finger
in the meantime let me tell you that I love you
buona Sera signorina kiss me good night
The song Buona Sera by Gérard Darmon is a classic Italian love ballad that speaks of the romantic relationship between the singer and a woman. At first, the song begins with a greeting, "Buona sera signorina" which means "Good evening, miss." The singer then proceeds to bid the city of Napoli goodnight, but laments the absence of the moon above the Mediterranean sea, making it difficult to bid farewell to the city.
The following morning, the singer promises to take the lady on a walk, admiring the mountains and the beauty of the moon that shines beside it. While walking, they stop at a jewellery shop, where the singer buys a wedding ring for his beloved's finger. The song then ends with the singer expressing his love for her once more before asking for a goodnight kiss.
Overall, the song highlights the beauty of Italy, particularly Napoli and the Mediterranean sea, while expressing the love and affection of the singer towards his significant other. It captures the essence of Italian culture and love, making it a timeless classic.
