(Cottrau / Oliphant)

 

Information:
Santa Lucia was written by Italian songwriter Theodoro Cottrau in 1850. English lyrics were by Thomas Oliphant.

 

Elvis sang Santa Lucia in his 1964 movie Viva Las Vegas. He recorded the song in July 1963 at Radio Recorders. In the film version, Ann-Margret hummed along with Elvis at the beginning of Santa Lucia and then talked with Cesare Danova during the rest of the song.

 

Lyrics:


1. Sul mare luccica / Over the sea
L'astro d'argento / Shines a silver star
Placida è l'onda / Placid is the wave
Prospero il vento / Fair is the wind

 

1 (repeat)

Venite all'agile / Come to my sweet
Barchetta mia / Little boat
Santa Lucia / Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia... / Santa Lucia...
