Ciao Ciao Bambina Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ciao Ciao Bambina by Dalida from Italian to English.
Mille violons chantent leur mélodie
A thousand violins sing their melody
Un arc-en-ciel dans le ciel se déplie
A rainbow unfolds in the sky
Mais il me semble être encore sous la pluie
But it seems to me I'm still in the rain
Si malheureuse quand il m'a dit
So unhappy when he told me
Ciao ciao bambina
Ciao ciao bambina
Dis-moi je t'aime
Tell me I love you
Pour la dernière, dernière fois
For the last, last time
Bientôt petite
Soon, little one
Je vais te perdre
I'm going to lose you
J'ai de la peine
I'm sad
Embrasse-moi
Kiss me
Ciao ciao bambina
Ciao ciao bambina
Un jour on s'aime
One day we love each other
Et l'on se quitte
And we leave each other
L'amour c'est ça
Love is that
Dans tes yeux tristes
In your sad eyes
Tout le ciel pleure
The whole sky cries
Et moi je pleure
And I cry
Pleure avec toi!
Cry with you!
Ciao ciao bambina
Ciao ciao bambina
Qui sait, ma route
Who knows, my path
Crois'ra la tienne
Will cross yours
Peut-être un jour
Perhaps one day
Et le ciel même
And the sky itself
Ce soir en doute
Tonight in doubt
Il pleure, pleure
It cries, cries
Sul nostro amor!
On our love!
