About Domani

"Domani" (Italian for "tomorrow") is a 1955 song written by Ulpio Minucci with lyrics by Tony Velona. The melody is based on the intermezzo from the comic opera I Quattro Rusteghi by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari. The most popular version of the song was recorded in 1955 by Julius LaRosa, released by Cadence Records as catalog number 1265. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on July 13, 1955 and lasted 7 weeks on the chart, peaking at #13. The song was rendered in French - retaining the title "Domani" - by Renée Lebas; a Finnish rendering: "Huomenna", was recorded by Maynie Sirén. Another song of the same name was released by the Twilight Singers on the "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair" EP and on Greg Dulli's 2005 album Amber Headlights.

Maybe you'll fall in love with me domani 
Maybe tomorrow night the sun will shine 
I'll change my name from Johnny to Giavonni 
If you will say domani, you'll be mine 

Come to me, Senorina from Italy, 
Hear my plea and I'll hire the hall 
All your uncles and aunts and ma and pa and your paisani 
They all agree that we should wed domani 

You are so super duper bravissimo 
Don't say no or my poor heart you'll break 
'Cause your uncles and aunts and your ma and pa and your paisani 
They all agree that we should wed, domani
