Beniamino Gigli - Mamma

Beniamino Gigli _ Mamma
This song was given to me by my favorite Italian friend. Im granted his precious friendship. I love listening to this song, esp. the version sung by Gigli. I can hear it over and over again... I've been searching for it on YouTube, but haven't found it yet. So, uploading this to share with u all is my way to thank to that friend of mine. Enjoy it!

Lyrics:
Mamma, son tanto felice
perché ritorno da te.
La mia canzone ti dice
ch'è il piů bel sogno per me!
Mamma son tanto felice...
Viver lontano perché?
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola,
mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai piů sola!
Quanto ti voglio bene!
Queste parole d'amore che ti sospira il mio cuore
forse non s'usano piů,
mamma!,
ma la canzone mia piů bella sei tu!
Sei tu la vita
e per la vita non ti lascio mai piů!
Sento la mano tua stanca:
cerca i miei riccioli d'or.
Sento, e la voce ti manca,
la ninna nanna d'allor.
Oggi la testa tua bianca
io voglio stringere al cuor.

Mamma, I'm so happy because I return to you.
My song tells you. It's the most beautiful dream for me!
Mamma I'm so happy. Why should one live so far away?

Mamma, just only for you my song is flying.
Mamma, you will be with me, you will not be alone anymore!
How much I love you!
These words of love, sighed for you by my heart,
maybe are not used anymore.
Mamma! But my most beautiful song is you!
It is you for a lifetime (you are my life).
And in my life I will not leave you again!
I feel your tired hand. It's searching for my golden curls.
I feel it, and your voice is feeble, the lullaby - that old lullaby - you used to sing back then (back to the past).
Today your head is whitening. I want to hold it close to my heart.
Mamma
You are my most beautiful song
You are my life
And I will not leave you anymore in my life!
Music by Cesare Andrea Bixio - Lyrics by Bruno Cherubini
