Santa Lucia ( Mandolin )

Here's an Italian tune I've revisited, having learned it some 60 years ago... Performed on the A5 Special and MMV. Thanks for the Listen!

[@doug1863]

Listening to your beautiful rendition of Santa Lucia again with my wife and in-laws while having Pallini limoncello on a beautiful evening outside

Thanks Doug!

Bellissimo. This music takes me to Naples and its blue waters, a place I have never been.

[@FrankDeLorenzoMANDOLIN]

Thanks!

[@athelonus]

I did not know this song had Italian origins as it's a Swedish Christmas(ish) song we sing on the 13th of December, Saint Lucia day.

The silver moon shines on the sea
Fresh is the air, placid is the wave
How nice it's to sail
With this sweet breeze
On my quick little ship
Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
Oh lovely Naples, oh blessed land
Where creation wanted to enjoy
You are the empire of harmony
Can I moor here?
There is no melancholy
Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia

Well played, Frank! For those who have not yet heard it, Butch Baldassari and Jack Jezzro have a 5 star album titled Romance in Venice with this and other familiar Romantic era Neapolitan tunes. Highly recommended!

Keşke arkadaki gitar olmasaydı
Yalnız Türklerle yabancıların farkını görüyorsunuz değil mi? Adamlar ne güzel olumlu yorum yapmışlar. Ben burda eleştiri yapıyorum. Çal desen çalamam ama ahkam kesiyorum.
Böyle de özeleştirici yaparım işte.
