Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso siciliano!
 
Savez-vous qu'un petit vent de folie
à soufflé sur toute l'Italie?
Dans les rues les gens frétillent
sur des airs venus des Antilles
 
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso si! Calypso là! Calypso siciliano!
 
Les mamas en faisant leur lessive
portent des foulards aux couleurs vives
s'appelant d'un ton tranquille
"Ma doudou! Mon oiseau des îles!"
 
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso si! Calypso là! Calypso siciliano!
 
Le galant pour plaire à sa piccina
ne vient plus lui jouer de mandoline
Elle préfère aux barcarolles
les tempos des chansons créoles
 
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso si! Calypso si! Calypso siciliano!
 
Mais un jour ce petit vent de folie
s'envolera loin de l'Italie
remportant aux îles lointaines
mille sérénades de napolitaines
 
Calypso ay! Calypso ay! Calypso italiano!
Calypso si! Calypso oh! Si-ci-li-a-no!
