Lyrics
Calypso aïe! Calypso aie! Calypso Italiano
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso Siciliano
Savez-vous qu’un petit brin de folie
A soufflé sur toute l’Italie?
Dans les rues les gens frétillent
Sur des airs venus des Antilles
Calypso aïe! Calypso aie! Calypso Italiano
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso Siciliano
Les mamas en faisant leurs lessives
Portent des foulards aux couleurs vives
S’appelant d’un ton tranquille
Ma doudou, mon oiseau des îles
Calypso aïe! Calypso aie! Calypso Italiano
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso Siciliano
Le galant pour plaire a sa beejina
Ne vient plus lui jouer de mandolina
Elle préfère aux barcarolles
Le tempo des chansons créoles
Calypso aïe! Calypso aie! Calypso Italiano
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso Siciliano
Mais un jour ce petit vent de folie
S’envolera loin de l’Italie
Remportant aux îles lointaines
Mille sérénades napolitaines
Calypso aïe! Calypso aie! Calypso Italiano
Calypso si! Calypso Siciliano…
Lyrics translation
Calypso ouch! Calypso! Italian Calypso
Calypso yes! Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso
Do you know that a little bit of madness
Blew all over Italy?
On the streets people frolic
On Airs from the West Indies
Calypso ouch! Calypso! Italian Calypso
Calypso yes! Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso
Moms doing their laundry
Wear scarves in bright colors
Calling in a quiet tone
My down jacket, my bird of the islands
Calypso ouch! Calypso! Italian Calypso
Calypso yes! Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso
The gallant to please his beejina
Don't play mandolin anymore.
She prefers barcarolles
The tempo of Creole songs
Calypso ouch! Calypso! Italian Calypso
Calypso yes! Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso
But one day this little wind of madness
Will fly away from Italy
Winning in the distant islands
A thousand Neapolitan serenades
Calypso ouch! Calypso! Italian Calypso
Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso…
