Por Favor Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Favor by Dalida from Italian to English.
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Italian Calypso!
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso siciliano!
Calypso yes! Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso!
Savez-vous qu'un petit vent de folie
Do you know that a little crazy wind
À soufflé sur toute l'Italie?
has blown across all Italy?
Dans les rues les gens frétillent
In the streets people are wiggling
Sur des airs venus des Antilles
to tunes from the Antilles
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Italian Calypso!
Calypso si! Calypso là! Calypso siciliano!
Calypso yes! Calypso there! Sicilian Calypso!
Les mamas en faisant leur lessive
The mamas while doing their laundry
Portent des foulards aux couleurs vives
wear scarves in vibrant colors
S'appelant d'un ton tranquille
calling each other in a calm tone
'Ma doudou! Mon oiseau des îles!'
"My darling! My island bird!"
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Italian Calypso!
Calypso si! Calypso là! Calypso siciliano!
Calypso yes! Calypso there! Sicilian Calypso!
Le galant pour plaire à sa piccina
The suitor to please his little one
Ne vient plus lui jouer de mandoline
no longer comes to play mandolin for her
Elle préfère aux barcarolles
She prefers to barcarolles
Les tempos des chansons créoles
the tempos of Creole songs
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Italian Calypso!
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso siciliano!
Calypso yes! Calypso yes! Sicilian Calypso!
Mais un jour ce petit vent de folie
But one day this little crazy wind
S'envolera loin de l'Italie
will fly away far from Italy
Remportant aux îles lointaines
taking back to the distant islands
Mille sérénades de napolitaines
a thousand Neapolitan serenades
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Italian Calypso!
Calypso si! Calypso oh! Si-ci-li-a-no!
Calypso yes! Calypso oh! Si-ci-li-a-no!
