Mi sono innamorato di Marina
I fell in love with Marina
Una ragazza mora ma carina
A dark-haired girl but so pretty
Ma lei non vuol saperne del mio amore
But she doesn't want to know about my love
Cosa farò per conquistarle il cuor
What will I do to win her heart?
Un girono l'ho incontrata sola sola,
One day I met her all alone,
Il cuotre mi batteva mille all'ora
My heart was racing a thousand beats an hour
Quando le dissi che la volevo amare
When I told her that I wanted to love her
Mi diede un bacio e l'amor sbocciò
She gave me a kiss and love blossomed
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar
I want to marry you as soon as possible
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar
I want to marry you as soon as possible
O mia bella mora
Oh, my lovely dark-haired girl
No non mi lasciare
No, don't leave me
Non mi devi rovinare
You mustn't ruin me
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
O mia bella mora
Oh, my lovely dark-haired girl
No non mi lasciare
No, don't leave me
Non mi devi rovinare
You mustn't ruin me
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar
I want to marry you as soon as possible
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar
I want to marry you as soon as possible
O mia bella mora
Oh, my lovely dark-haired girl
No non mi lasciare
No, don't leave me
Non mi devi rovinare
You must not ruin me
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
O mia bella mora
Oh, my lovely dark-haired girl
No non mi lasciare
No, don't leave me
Non mi devi rovinare
You mustn't ruin me
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
