With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy
Italians love to sip a cup of cappuccino
And listen to the man who plays the mandolino
You offer him a cigarette a glass of wine
That's how he's paid to serenade your lady fair
With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy
He seems like such a happy man
The man who plays the mandolino
He sings a song of sweet romance for all the lovers as they dance
But all he's holding in his arms is just a little mandolino
He has no woman of his own so every night he walks alone
With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy
(And while he's strumming songs of love the man who plays the mandolino)
(His eyes are always looking for a senorina to adore)
He drinks a toast to his true love each time he lifts a glass of vino
And so until that lucky day he looks for her along the way
With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy
(Both) The man who plays the mandolino

Dean Martin, nato Dino Paul Crocetti il 7 giugno 1917 a Steubenville, Ohio, è stato un cantante, attore e comico italo-americano. Figlio di immigrati italiani originari di Montesilvano, Abruzzo, Martin iniziò la sua carriera musicale nei locali di New York negli anni '40, assumendo il nome d'arte Dean Martin in onore del tenore Nino Martini. Nel 1946 formò un duo comico con Jerry Lewis, che divenne uno dei più popolari e longevi della storia dell'intrattenimento. Insieme realizzarono sedici film, tra cui "La mia amica Irma" (1949) e "Hollywood o morte!" (1956), e apparvero in programmi televisivi di grande successo come "The Colgate Comedy Hour". Dopo la separazione dal duo nel 1956, Martin continuò a avere una carriera di successo sia come attore che come cantante. Interpretò ruoli memorabili in film come "I giovani leoni" (1958) e "Un dollaro d'onore" (1959), e raggiunse il successo internazionale con canzoni come "That's Amore" (1954), una dichiarazione d'affetto per Napoli e la sua cultura. Negli anni '60, Martin fu uno dei membri fondatori del Rat Pack, un gruppo di artisti che includeva Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. e Peter Lawford. Il Rat Pack divenne famoso per i suoi spettacoli esuberanti e le performance memorabili a Las Vegas. Nel 1965 Martin iniziò a condurre il suo show televisivo "The Dean Martin Show", che ebbe un grande successo fino al 1974. Martin continuò ad apparire in film e a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '80, quando si ritirò dalle scene dopo una tournée con Sinatra e Davis Jr. Morì il 25 dicembre 1995 per enfisema. Dean Martin è ricordato come uno dei più grandi entertainer del XX secolo, un uomo di talento versatile che ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella musica, nel cinema e nella cultura americana.
