[Lyric] Bella Bambina (Al Bowlly)

She was a sweet Italiano
Italiano, Italiano
He didn't speak Italiano
And the only word she knew in English was "No!"

Oh, how he wanted to woo her
He was frantic and romantic
He didn't know how to woo her
For Bella Bambina was all that he knew

"Bella Bambina"
With these pretty words he will greet her
But try as he may
He just can't find a way
How to tell her there's nobody sweeter

"Bella Bambina"
He says that he'll always adore her
And she understands
When he's holding her hand
That he wants to say "Me amora"
Tra-la-liro, tra-la-liro
Oh, they bill and they coo likе two little love birds
Tra-la-liro, tra-la-liro
But the languagе of love doesn't need any words

Bella Bambina
One day at the church he will meet her
And you can be sure
She'll say "Si, si, senor!"
And they'll have lots of little bambinas

(Tra-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-dee
(Tra-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-dee

La-la-la-la-la-dee-dee-da-da

(Tra-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-dee
(Tra-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-dee

La-la-la-la-la-la-dee-da-da-da-da

Bella Bambina
One day at the church he will meet her
And you can be sure
She'll say "Si, si, senor!"
And they'll have lots of little bambinas
Someday!
