About Marina

"Marina" is a 1959 Italian song by Italian-Belgian singer-songwriter Rocco Granata, his first international hit and best known song. Originally released in 1959 as the B-side of "Manuela", the B-side became more played than the A-side, and by 30 January "Marina" interrupted "Oh! Carol" by Neil Sedaka for one week at the No.1 spot of Hitkrant's List of European number-one hits of 1960. The song sold millions of copies. It was #1 in Belgium, #31 in the US, and #1 in Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Norway. It was the No.2 jukebox play of the whole year in Automaten-Markt's records after "Seemann" by Lolita.

Quando le dissi che la volevo amare
mi diede un bacio e l'amor sboccio'...

    The English lyrics are completely wrong... as the other comment said, it's really trash. Even the Italian lyrics have a couple of mistakes... The fact that it's southern Italian dialect has nothing to do with small mistakes found. I am not talking about words dropping the final "e" and sometimes you can hardly hear the "r" at the end of the word in some cases... like amore, cuore, sposare sound like amor, cuor, sposar or even amo', cuo', sposa'


    Italian lyrics:
    Mi sono innamorato di Marina
    Una ragazza mora ma carina
    Ma lei non vuol saperne del mio amor
    Cosa farò per conquistar il suo cuor
    Un giorno la incontrai sola, sola
    Il cuore mi batteva a mille all'ora
    Quando gli dissi che la volevo amare
    Mi diede un bacio e l'amor sbocciò
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    Ti voglio al più presto sposar
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    Ti voglio al più presto sposar
    Oh mia bella mora
    No, non mi lasciare
    Non mi devi rovinare
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh mia bella mora
    No, non mi lasciare
    Non mi devi rovinare
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    Ti voglio al più presto sposar
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    Ti voglio al più presto sposar
    Oh mia bella mora
    No, non mi lasciare
    Non mi devi rovinare
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh mia bella mora
    No, non mi lasciare
    Non mi devi rovinare
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no




    English translation:
    I fell in love with Marina
    A pretty brunette girl
    But she doesn't want to know about my love
    What will I do to win her heart
    One day I met her alone, alone
    My heart was beating at a thousand per hour
    When I told her I wanted to love her
    She gave me a kiss and love blossomed
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    I want to marry you as soon as possible
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    I want to marry you as soon as possible
    Oh my beautiful brunette
    No, don't leave me
    You shouldn't spoil me
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh my beautiful brunette
    No, don't leave me
    You shouldn't spoil me
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    I want to marry you as soon as possible
    Marina, Marina, Marina
    I want to marry you as soon as possible
    Oh my beautiful brunette
    No, don't leave me
    You shouldn't spoil me
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh my beautiful brunette
    No, don't leave me
    You shouldn't spoil me
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no
    Oh no, no, no, no, no


    NB - the literal translation of "una ragazza mora ma carina" would be "a brunette girl but pretty" which could be construed as most brunettes not being pretty whereas "a pretty brunnette girl" sounds quite complimentary! Plus, if the phrase were "una donna/ragazza mora ma sposata" that would be translated as "a married brunette woman/girl", and I can't think of any other possible translation...
