Neapolitan lyrics and English translation by http://soundofthunder.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/ciribiribin/

Su finiscila coi baci

It ends with kisses

Bel moruccio birichin

[from] A handsome dark-haired rascal

E non vedi tu la luna

And don't you see the moon

Che dal ciel fa capolin?

That serves to cap the sky?

E se pur la luna spia

And if the moon also spies on us

Noi las ciamola guardar

the chamberlain looks at us

Anzi il pallido suo raggio

Rather its pale rays

Ci consiglia a seguitar!

It counsels us to carry on!

Ma poi chissà? Cosa dirà?

But then who knows? What will it say?

Eh via dirà. Cosa dira? Dira? Dira?

It will say. What will it say? Will say? Will say?

Ciribiribin, Ciribiribin, Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, che bel facin

Ciribiribin, such a beautiful face

Che sguardo dolce assassin

Such a sweet looking assassin

Ciribiribin, che bel nassin

Ciribiribin, such a beautiful little nose

Che bel dentin, che bel bocchin!

Such beautiful little teeth, such a beautiful little mouth

Ciribiribin, che bel nassin

Ciribiribin, such a beautiful little nose

Che bel dentin, che bel bocchin!

Ciribiribin, Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, che bel bocchin!

Ciribiribin, such a beautiful little mouth!
