Lyrics
Je vais vous raconter
Avant de vous quitter
L’histoire d’un p’tit village pres de Napoli
Nous etions quatre amis
Au bal tous les samedis
A jouer, a chanter toute la nuit
Giorgio a la guitare
Sandro a la mandoline
Moi je dansais en frappant du tambourin
Mais tous ceux qui venaient
C’etait pour ecouter
Celui qui faisait battre tous les coeurs
Et quand il arrivait
La foule s’ecriait
Arriva, Gigi l’Amoroso
Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse
Gigi l’Amoroso
Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans coeur
Mais jamais sans tendresse
Partout, c’etait la fete quand il chantait
Zaza, luna caprese o sole mio
Gigi Giuseppe
Mais tout le monde l’appelait Gigi l’Amour
Et les femmes etaient folles de lui, toutes
La femme du boulanger, qui fermait sa boutique tous les mardis pour aller…
La femme du notaire qui etait une sainte et qui n’vait jamais tromper son
Mari auparavant
Et la veuve du colonel
La veuve du colonel qui ne porta plus le deuil parce qu’il n’aimait pas le Noir
Toutes, je vous dis
Meme moi, mais moi, Gigi aimait trop sa liberte, jusqu’au jour ou Une riche americaine
A grands coups de je t’aime
Lui proposa d’aller jusqu’a Hollywood
Tu seras le plus beau
De tous les Caruzos
Lui disait-elle jusqu’a en perdre haleine
Nous voila a la gare
Avec tous nos mouchoirs
Le coeur serre, emus par ce grand depart
Pourtant on etait fier
Qu’il depasse nos frontieres
Gigi partait conquerir l’Amerique
Et quand il arriva
Le village etait la Arriva, Gigi l’Amoroso
Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse
Gigi l’Amoroso
Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans coeu
Lyrics translation
I'll tell you
Before you leave
The history of a small village near Naples
We were four friends
At the prom every Saturday
Playing, singing all night long
Giorgio a la guitare
Sandro a la mandoline
I was dancing with the tambourine
But all those who came
It was to listen
The one who made all hearts beat
And when he came
The crowd was screaming
Come on, Love Gigi.
Love cruncher, Velvet Eye like a caress
Gigi The Amorous
Always winner, sometimes heartless
But never without tenderness
Everywhere was the party when he sang
Zaza, luna caprese or sun mio
Gigi Giuseppe
But everyone called him Gigi love
And the women were crazy about him, all of them
The baker's wife, who closed her shop every Tuesday to go…
The wife of the notary who was a saint and who was never going to deceive her
Husband previously
And the Colonel's widow
The widow of the colonel who no longer mourned because he did not like the Black
All of them, I tell you
Even me, but me, Gigi loved his freedom too much, until the day when a rich American
I love you
He proposed to go to Hollywood
You will be the most beautiful
Of all Caruzos
Did she tell her until she lost her breath
Here we are at the station
With all our handkerchiefs
The heart shakes, moved by this great departure
Yet we were proud
Let him cross our borders
Gigi set out to conquer America
And when he arrived
The village was La Arriva, Gigi L'amoroso
Love cruncher, Velvet Eye like a caress
Gigi The Amorous
Always winner, sometimes without a heart
