You know me...I love music. These guys are amazing. I have no idea what they are saying, but I know the song. (I'm sure Star will translate.)

How Cool! If "anni" means years, then these young men are 14 and 15.
Very talented!

My Italian isn't very good - but I picked out the beautiful sun or the sun is mine? Gratzi. lol.

Someone here DOES speak Italiano.....I know you do bella.

Are you sure this is Italian? Shoot...I only know English. I just noticed the sign on this video that appeared to be Latin.

Whatever language it is...it's amazing.

My bad...it is Italian.

Unfortunately, Latin is now a dead language...

This is a traditional Neapolitan song (according to www.about.com).

English Translation
What a wonderful thing a sunny day
The serene air after a thunderstorm
The fresh air, and a party is already going on…
What a wonderful thing a sunny day.
But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s in your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s in your face!
It’s in your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I start feeling blue;
I’d stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s in your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s in your face!
It’s in your face!


I loved hearing the magnificent Sophia Loren say during an interview "I'm not Italian, I'm Neapolitan!".

Italian is such a beautiful language.

Sigh. I needed this today. mother in law is being particularily demanding.

I keep researching this kid...I guess that's what you do when you don't have cable. His name is Jacopo Menconi...what a talent. He's been performing since about 8 years old.
