-------------------------------------------
When the moon hangs low in
Napoli, there's a handsome gondolier,
Every night he sings so happily,
so his lady love can hear.
In a manner oh gravissimo, he
repeats his serenade,
And his heart beats so
fortissimo, when she raises her Venetian shade.
Ciribiribin, chiribiribin,
ciribiribin.
Ciribiribin, he waits for her
each night beneath her balcony.
Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her
tight, but no, she won't agree.
Ciribiribin, she throws a rose
and blows a kiss from up above,
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin,
ciribiribin, they're so in love.
(musical interlude)
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love.
