Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868)
La danza (Tarantella napoletana)
Parole: Carlo Pepoli (1796-1881)
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà;
l’ora è bella per danzare,
chi è in amor non mancherà.
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà.
Presto in danza a tondo a tondo,
donne mie, venite qua;
un garzon bello e giocondo
a ciascuna toccherà.
Finché in ciel brilla una stella
e la luna splenderà,
il più bel con la più bella
tutta notte danzerà.
Mamma mia, mamma mia,
già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, mamma mia,
mamma mia, si salterà.
Frinche, frinche,
mamma mia, si salterà.
La ra la ra la ra la ra la ra la.
Salta, salta, gira, gira,
ogni coppia a cerchio va;
già s’avanza, si ritira
e all’assalto tornerà.
Serra, serra colla bionda
colla bruna va qua a là,
colla rossa va a seconda,
colla smorta fermo sta.
Viva il ballo a tondo a tondo,
sono un re, sono un pascià;
è il più bel piacer del mondo,
la più cara voluttà.
Mamma mia … | Translation - German
Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868)
Der Tanz (Neapolitanische Tarantella)
Text: Carlo Pepoli (1796-1881)
Der Mond, er steht schon überm Meere,
he, heut vergnügen wir uns gern!
Die beste Zeit ist dies zum Tanzen
und wer verliebt ist, bleibt nicht fern.
Der Mond, er steht schon überm Meere,
he, heut vergnügen wir uns sehr!
Rasch auf zum Tanzen in der Runde,
he, ihr Mädels, kommt doch her;
junge Burschen, schön und munter,
gibt’s genug, was wollt ihr mehr?
Solang ein Stern nur blitzt am Himmel
und der helle Mond uns scheint,
wird der Schönste mit der Schönsten
tanzen durch die Nacht vereint.
Mamma mia, schau nur einmal,
schon steht der Mond über dem Meer,
Mamma mia, schau nur einmal,
he, heut vergnügen wir uns sehr!
Frinche, frinche, mamma mia,
ja, da vergnügen wir uns sehr!
La ra la ra la ra la ra la ra la.
Spring und dreh dich, spring und dreh dich,
die Paare wirbeln wie der Wind,
vorwärts bald, bald wieder rückwärts,
und dann ganz von vorn geschwind.
Tanze hurtig mit der Blonden,
mit der Roten, wenn es passt,
mit der Braunen vor- und rückwärts,
mit dem Mauerblümchen rast’.
Hoch das Tanzen in der Runde,
hier bin ich König, ja ein Scheich!
Der größte Spaß ist es auf Erden,
kein Vergnügen ist ihm gleich!
Mamma mia, ...
