An Italian Song

I've been looking for the lyrics for a song titled: Capuccina or Signorina Capuccina. It had been sung by Nat King Cole and is now on a CD That's Amore, A Night in Little Italy (Guido Luciani). Have really searched for it, but nothing found. I'd like any Italian words to be translated to English..a great help. Thanking you all in advance.

Boy... that is tough to find! No one is giving these lyrics away for free! I did find a link to the song by Nat here http://www.larryfranco.it/discogusa.html but I didn't listen to it, so I don't know if it's the one you are looking for or not.

I guess Capuccina as sung by Nat King Cole, is based on this Italian song, Permettete Signorina (Hum, I thought it was Permette, but my Italian is VERY rusty!):

Permettete signorina
vi dispiace se vi chiedo di ballar
non c'e' bimba piu' carina
che mi possa questa sera far sognar
siamo stretti tra la folla
come batte il vostro cuore
sul mio cuor
c'e' la luna sul mar
e' un invito a passeggiar
non mi dite di no
permettete signorina
vi do' il braccio ma voi datemi del tu
ogni passo ci avvicina
ogni passo m'innamoro sempre piu'
siamo stretti tra la folla
come batte il vostro cuore
sul mio cuor
c'e' la luna sul mar
e' un invito a passeggiar
non mi dite di no
dammi un bacio signorina
solo un bacio io ti chiedo e nulla piu'

ci vedremo domattina
quando il sole avra' disciolto
tutto il blu
ma stanotte nei miei sogni
quante volte tra le braccia ti terro'
o mia bella signorina
baciami ancor
dammi dammi un bacio
un lungo bacio
e ciao ciao ciao

Hi guys! Well, this is my attempt at translating... hope this is the song! Thanks a lot for the lyrics Damarys

Excuse me miss,
do you mind if I ask you to dance with me?
There’s no girl more beatiful
who could make me dream tonight
we’re close to each other in the crowd
how your heart beats
next to mine
the moon shines above the sea
it’s an invitation for a walk
don’t tell me “no”
excuse me miss,
we may walk arm in arm, but address me with “tu”*
every step brings us closer together
with every step I fall in love deeper and deeper
we’re close to each other in the crowd
how your heart beats
next to mine
the moon shines above the sea
it’s an invitation for a walk
don’t tell me “no”
give me a kiss my lady
I’m only asking you for a kiss, nothing else

We’ll see each other tomorrow morning
when the sun will have dissipated
all the blue
but tonight, in my dreams,
I’ll hold you in my arms so many times
oh, my beautiful lady
kiss me once more
give me, give me one kiss
a long kiss
and bye bye bye


*in italian it’s possible to address people as “Lei” (sort of more formal) or as “tu” (informal, intimate)

Hello! I have moved the thread here in the Italian section, because translation was needed, too!
