Oh Marie
Louis Prima · Other Songs - Louis Prima
Here while the day is fading,
Dear you I'm serenading,
My love you've been evading,
No wonder I am blue...Oh listen to my pleading,
Your nearness I am needing,
It's time that you were heeding,
My offering to you...We' Marie, we' Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perso per te,
Famme' durmi, Una notte abbraciata cu te,
We' Marie, we' Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perse per te,
Famme' durmi, we' Marie, we' Marie..
We' Marie, we' Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perse per te,
Famme' durmi, we' Marie, we' Marie!

Quanto sonno agiu perso per te,
Famme' durmi, Una notte abbraciata cu te,

We' Marie, we' Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perse per te,
Famme' durmi, we' Marie, we' Marie!
