Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba (My Bambino, Go to Sleep) Songtext
von Peggy Lee

Chi-baba
Chi-baba

Many years ago in old Sorrento a certain ditty was quite the thing
When a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento, this little ditty she used to sing

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
Anchilawa gugula goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
Anchilawa gugula goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep


All the stars are in the skies ready to say "goodnight"
Can′t you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
While she sings a lullaby to you

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
Anchilawa gugula goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep
All the stars are in the skies ready to say "goodnight"
Can't you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
While she sings a lullaby to you

Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
Anchilawa gugula goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!


Chi-baba (vaso de mira)
Chi-baba (bambino, bambino)
Chi-baba (pergida)
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba
