Buona Sera
Romantic Serenade: Dean Martin's Buona Sera Unveiled
Lyrics
Buona sera, signorina, buona sera
Greeting, good evening, madam, good evening
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli
It is time to bid farewell to Naples
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
Although it's difficult for us to softly say good evening
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
Referring to the challenge of whispering greetings under the moonlight by the Mediterranean Sea
In the morning, signorina, we'll go walking
In the morning, madam, we will go for a stroll
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
Where the mountains assist in revealing the moon
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
We will pause and spend time by a small jewelry shop
While I'll buy a wedding ring for your finger
Expressing the intention to purchase a wedding ring for the lady's finger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
In the meantime, let me express my love for you
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight
Greeting again, good evening, madam, kiss me goodnight
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight
Reiteration of the desire for a goodnight kiss
(Buona sera, signorina, buona sera)
(Repetition of greeting)
(It is time to say goodnight to Napoli)
(Repetition of bidding farewell to Naples)
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
(Repetition of the challenge in softly whispering good evening)
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
(Repetition of the moonlit scene by the Mediterranean Sea)
In the morning signorina we'll go walking
(Repetition of the morning stroll)
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
(Repetition of the mountains aiding the moon's appearance)
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
(Repetition of the stop at a jewelry shop)
While I buy you a wedding ring for your finger
(Repetition of the intention to buy a wedding ring)
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
(Repetition of expressing love)
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight
(Repetition of the greeting and request for a goodnight kiss)
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight
(Repetition of the desire for a goodnight kiss)
