Godfather Luna Mezz 'O Mare

[PSD4181]

Who is that old man? What is his name? My father and I have been trying to find out for weeks.

[vanic1987]

@19111ellyc the old man's hand gestures corrispond to the verse 'he'll always hold his hammer in his hand'...his ''hammer'' in his hand, always with his dick in hand

[diabloscott]

@vanic1987 The old man reverses the meaning though... the song is about a mother trying to find a husband for her daughter, but he sings about the daughter trying to find a husband for her mother. "Mamma mia a cu te dare - Figghia mia pensaci tu" He seems to be enjoying his little word order rearrangement. I'm not sure which profession he's doing though.

[sadlobster1]

I used to think this movie was good, until my father constantly heckled me with out of context references to it. Ai Marone

[ronwood1220]

Mama Corleone is one of the great Italian singer fo all time.

[DISCIPLINA2012]

perfeito

[josephrinzo]

thumbs up if ur weddings in ur family are similar

[xesecasper8]

is this a dirty love song lol i don't speak italian so i wouldnt know if it was lol

[vanic1987]

THE OLD MAN SAYS: " There's the moon in the middle of the sea...oh my mom..I've to get married!!!...my daughter who will have to give???...oh my mom think about it!!!...if I give you to the cobbler...he will come and he will go...but he'll always hold his hammer in his hand!!!....if he likes the idea...he will hummer you oh my daughter!!!!"

[19111ellyc]

@vanic1987 Lou Monte sang it back in the 50's. It was called Lazy Mary and that particular verse went 'you better marry a fireman, he'll come & go...go & come' so assume it's supposed to have sexual meaning, hence the old man's hand gestures

[NonoMarinov]

The original song is here - watch?v=n9FMvfvkBro

[NonoMarinov]

@mladenson

It isn't Don Stracci neither

[megrune94]

This is going to be played at my wedding, and if the girl doesn't like it, she can gtfo!

[theRevolutionBegin]

Ok can someone please translate what the old man says? It seems very naughty ;)

[ssander2k7]

Oh wow, I had to look of the English translation to this (wish I was Italian :( ) Very dirty song haha, but love it still

[sera817]

The song is about a girl who smokes in bed and she should marry a fireman because he has a big hose.

[muukiomuingi]

The old man looks like he is saying something very naughty.. hehe. Sorry can't understand italian

[PussiesGlorifyMe]

1:18 that was a boss move lol and at 1:08 he almost lost his dentures 

[DeamonClawz]

Its scenes like these that make the Godfather so great

[mladenson]

I was wrong; Cuneo is younger, and gets killed in a revolving door. I believe that the people who say this is Don Victor Stracci are correct.

[mladenson]

I believe the old man is Cuneo, one of the heads of the five families; at the end, Clemenza kills him in an elevator with a shotgun.

[videoaddict2008]

pay close attention to the old man you can see his dentures almost fall out of his mouth.



[DJKID777]

to bad they dont make movie like this anymore

[DJKID777]

that lady is kinda hot for her age

[kposimo]

My grandmother sang this at every wedding she attended. Brings back great memories.



[ArturasDzeikas]

that was amazing scene. U Just have to love italians

[mrpwnage91]

[Marijuana645]

sonny says olds boring party lets get a enjoyable one

[GeraldoFerreira92]

the old Italian man is the head of one of the 5 families

[EmpereurNapoleonex]

lol you cut off before the sex part

[SenhorPatriota]

2 irlandese non piaceva il movimento della mano del vecchio =( C' 'na luna mezz'u mare

Mamma mia m'a maritare

Figlia mia a cu te dare

Mamma mia pensace tu

Se te piglio lu pesciaiole

Isse vai isse vene

Sempe lu pesce mane tene

Se ce 'ncappa la fantasia

(8)

[joeasmythe]

That's his canoli in the old mans hands, and he keeps shoving it in the "oven"

[77danielal]

i like more the action by Sony on his mistress...lol typical Italian man....

[SenhorPatriota]

che vecchi e danneggiati. =)

[miturno1]

Why she say something like "la stessia storie"?

[kabrera100]

Plz anyone provide me with lyrics, deeply appreciated

[motaj16]

Sonny knock it out

Thats my boy

[SayaKuro12]

thumbs up if the old man rocks XD

[FPSWORLDPS3]

the italian big family

[Etnalleb]

The scene with Sonny banging his whore up against the wall was deleted ,,,,,

LMAO!

[AndrewS1178]

thumbs up if you a PROUD ITALIAN!

[kyletinning7636]

Godfather, the most godly movie ever created.

[mrtundra45]

THE OLD MAN ~ LMAO!

[TRAkz100]

mama mia mamamradane :DDDD

[leozinhu999]

I'm brazillian but I really like the italian culture and traditional songs.

Really great song Luna Mezzo Mare

[Ronaldinhoo11]

Aren't there any sicilian-speaking lads who can translate what the old man is singing cause it seems juicy?

[vatenacio]

@Ronaldinhoo11 he's not saying anything especially juicy. "If I give a farmer, he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold a plough in his hands. if he enjoys the thought, he'll plough you, my daughter..." it's really his hand jestures that people are laughing at.

[Ronaldinhoo11]

@vatenacio

haha ok thanks. So he's not singing any dirty things? Cool song.

[Taurimenio]

@Ronaldinhoo11 It' s not simple because they have a strong american accent...

I try..... There is the moon on the middle of the see...Oh my doughter you have to get marry! Mamma Mia!!! ,who could i give you? Oh My doughter ...take care for yourself.  If you choice someone don' t escape!!!!! He comes! he goes ! and .......on his hand he handle! If he has some fantasy take care !he should f..k you my little doughter.

Something like this.

[Ronaldinhoo11]

@Taurimenio

Hahahaha so he does mention the word 'fuck'? Thank you for this translation.

[canadianstar85]

@Ronaldinhoo11 He says "hammer" instead. He says, "If I give you to the shoemaker, he comes, he goes, but he always has his hammer in his hands. If fancy strikes him, he'll hammer you, my little daughter."

[Ronaldinhoo11]

@canadianstar85

Haha so that's what he says. Cool old man.

[blckkidz]

who is that gold guy that sings? anyone know?

[nodo1982]

FORZA ITALIA

[joeasmythe]

It's the baker boy ,he's got his canoli in his hand/

[IMSA28]

translation?

[ChowHallCommando]

I wonder what the old man is doing these days. I'll bet he was the life of the party. He's probably still singing that song.

[vatenacio]

@ChowHallCommando NO JOKE!!!! xD

[isuckaman]

I like the hand action by the old man.



[superheinzguderian]

I think that the oldman who is singing don stracci

[BenAliGtor]

If you're read the book you can really appreciate interplaying Sonny's going up to schtupp one of the bridesmaids and the lyrics of the song in Italian (which, BTW, have nothing to do with "Lazy Mary" giving up bed sheets for a table).

[46hitmann]

this is the stuff thats makes me luv being italiano mi piace molto bene

[sera817]

@46hitmann Hi, I love being Italian too!

[sherifportrait]

@46hitmann i wish i was an italian

[savvakissss]

@46hitmann and being greek is good too! Ok I love Italians! Those I met they were very good people!

[mrtundra45]

@savvakissss Greek and Italian (Sicilian) is basicly the same people.

[cmt39]

What did the old man sing that everyone was laughing at? I had heard that sometimes people put in their own lyrics to this song. Thanks.

[lordvoldemort578]

@cmt39 Hes talking about on the wedding night the girl wouldn't sit right when he was trying to get inside her, and she was tight.

[joeyhol75]

@lordvoldemort578 did you just totally make that up? LOL. Because most certainly not what he said.

[lordvoldemort578]

@joeyhol75 That's what I heard, It isn't coming from me, You can explain to me what he really said if you want.

[joeyhol75]

Si ci dugnu zuppunaro

Iddu va, iddu veni

'u zappuni manu teni.

Si ci pigghia la fantasia

Mi zappunia la figghia mia.

If I give you the farmer, he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold his plough in his hands, if he likes the idea he'll plough you , oh my daughter

The song is about a girl that asks her mother to help her pick whom to marry. There is a verse for the the barber , the butcher , the fisherman, the farmer,etc.

[lordvoldemort578]

@joeyhol75 I heard that Before, My explanation for the song was One I heard from somewhere, Didn't come from me.

[joeyhol75]

No idea where lordvoldemort578 gets that answer from, but what he said is " Si ci dugnu zuppunaro Iddu va, iddu veni 'u zappuni manu teni.Si ci pigghia la fantasia Mi zappunia la figghia mia." which translates to "If I give you the farmer, he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold his plough in his hands, if he likes the idea he'll plough you , oh mu daughter" Its the hand jestures mostly that people are laughing at.

[joeyhol75]

/dean_martin-lyrics/221348-lun­a_mezzo_mare-lyrics.htm Top line is the choras, the part the old man sings is the forth verse about the farmer. The song is about a daughter who is asking her mother to pick who she should marry.

[joseboursm]

and then sonny bangs the girl that was going upstairs

[RecordableID]

I just cant help loving this old man :)

[jessejames4518]

I love this movie. Mi piace molto ma non capito, Che si dice. What she says in the beginning? Please...

[parkman35]

@jessejames4518 she's saying the same story another time

[SFConifer]

GWIF 

[futurebestseller84]

did you see the guys teeth almost fall out lol..

[ghanaholland1]

if you use this word in italy people now you speak of cunt,i do not care where you come from oh my father comes from carrara bud ok you may think what ever you want

[verusicilianu]

@ghanaholland1 i`m sicilian and figghia is daughter and nog cunt in sicilian is cunt sticchiu

[Mun885]

Can't say its the best scene, because its not true. Its awesome scene, but so is whole movie. Its just the best movie ever made! I'm 18 years old but I love old movies like this.

[CelticSpiritWolf]

whos the old guy? Everyone's aying hes Don Stracci, but on the godfather website, Stacciis younger..is :/

C'e la luna mezz'o mare

[brokenwing36566754]

so at :59 to 1:05 whats the old man singing?

[tlages]

The book was full of sex. Non stop sex. 

[finny6]

this movie got more interesting every time i saw it again

[DrWrestler]

Sonny is on his wave as usual :-)

[ghanaholland1]

Figghia mia=my cunt

[hornetgags]

@ghanaholland1 Figlia mia=my daughter....actually

[ghanaholland1]

@hornetgags figlia=child  figghia= cunt

[hornetgags]

@ghanaholland1 I see saw you are trying to school a neapolitan on the lyrics to this song. The Sicilian dialect overstresses the 'g' so she is saying 'daughter of mine' not 'cunt of mine', because a traditional neapolitan song about a girl talking to her mother about getting married would obviously involve 'cunt'...how insane are you?The slang for cunt in old days 'chichette' or more newer 'perchiacca'. Seeing as you are ghanaholland and clearly not Italian, I would take my word for it not yours

[tennis89insomniac]

La luna mezzo 'o mare (english) and the moon is in the middle of the sea: oh my mother i must get married -- oh my daughter who will we get? My mother i leave it up to you. (i) if i get you the butcher he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold the sausage in his hands... If he gets a bright idea he'll sausage you oh my daughter.

[tennis89insomniac]

if i get you the fisherman he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold the fish in his hands... If he gets a bright idea he'll fish you oh my daughter. if i get you the shoemaker he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold the shoe in his hands... If he gets a bright idea he'll shoe you oh my daughter. (iv) if i get you the garden man he will come and he will go, but he'll always hold the cucumber in his hands... If he gets a bright idea he'll cucumber you oh my daughter.

[pippetto888]

best scene ever in the best film ever!!

[ghanaholland1]

dirty song but funny

[2009080660]

C'e la luna mezz'o mare Mamma mia me maritari, Figghia mia, a cu ta ddari Mamma mia pensaci tu´ Si ti dugnu pisciaiolu (Se te piglia t` o pescaiole) Iddu va, iddu veni Sembe lu pisci in mano tene C'e la luna mezz'o mare Mamma mia me maritari, Figghia mia, a cu ta ddari Mamma mia pensaci tu´ Si ti dugnu pisciaiolu Iddu va, iddu veni Sembe lu pisci in mano tene Si ci piglia la fantasia Ti pisciulia a figghia mia.

[BlackCrowNavajo]

isn't it almost the same song Louis Prima sang, called Anjelina?

[Antralian]

Quando mi sposerò, questa sarà una delle canzoni che saranno certamente nella lista.

[X0n3]

i wanna that all kissing my ring now!!! :D

[Ziomano]

Yeah guys, can someone translate it ?

[DonGambino30]

Remindes me of parents wedding. Lots of people, great wine and food, dancing, everybody speaking Itallian, Italian songs. My wedding was exactly the same except my wife and I had our wedding in America The old pisane remind me alot of my grandpa and the rest of the old guys dancing and drinking. Old Italian men become 30 years younger at weddings

[DonGambino30]

Remindes me of parents wedding. Lots of people, great wine and food, dancing, everybody speaking Itallian, Italian songs. My wedding was exactly the same except my wife and I had our wedding in America

[dukk77777]

Best movie of all time.

[FlickFlackFlow101]

lalalalalalalalalalalalala

[dogucan97]

0 dislikes. Very good.

[superdave651]

Always love the part at 1:08 where his false teeth fall down while he's singing.

[lordvoldemort578]

@superdave651 tryin to use his tounge to fix it lol

[elvinas100]

That old man sings better than bieber

[jairomantill]

1:03 i dont get the joke :/

[Triple7TV]

@jairomantill I think it's a joke about a man who misses the women's vagina when it comes to have sex.

[Amtrak1194]

@Triple7TV it's about a woman named Mary who was sooooooo lazy she wouldn't even lay right for him to have sex with her...

it's a very funny story if you can find it.

[maborosinotori]

マイノリティの一族のお祝い会場の雰囲気をリアルに表現していま­す。

民族音楽が実に上手く溶け込んでいます。

[maborosinotori]

もっとも印象的なシーンの1つです。

[SLICKR392]

Love this song :D

[STABBERBALBOA]

lol look at that old git

[kittykatro]

I'm scared of italians - you don't know if they will jump on you to embrace you and kiss you on botch cheeks or if they will pull out a gun and blow your brains out.

[lordvoldemort578]

@kittykatro the men in italy are worse they are way to comfortable with you, evan dudes

[recneps4444]

no one has "disliked" it!

im shocked!

(happily of coarse)

=p

[lordvoldemort578]

@recneps4444 the 1 dislike read your comment

[MinotauroRomano]

the old man singin is like my grandfather

[david24262]

I like her Sicilian dialect when she steps up to the microphone: "Same story, another time. . .!"

[david24262]

@gambini18 The reason I said she was using Sicilian dialect is because she seems to be saying, "a stessa. . ." invece di "la stessa storia". . .I wonder whether she said that because she was having to do repeated "takes" in that scene so that they could get it right, i.e., ensuring the cameras and other equipment were hidden.

[gambini18]

@david24262

your totally right haha I didnt pay attention enough....

she says....a stessa storia...un' atcia volta......sicilian enough hehe

[GrrAliBitesx3]

My family sings this at every wedding. My friends find it to be funny. xD

[BenAliGtor]

The old guy got it right: the hand gestures are the best part.

[wanderer856]

reminds me of my family! haha!

[metallica1567]

Baradar, I didn't mean to offend you in any way, but some of these retards on here really piss me off when they think that Italians are so superior, when our culture is older than theirs and we defeated the Romans on multiple occasions.

[Na9rawi87]

Classic

[Thedj0106]

this song is basically talking dirty in Italian lol

[whateverni]

Wonder if it was weird to have sex while your mother is singing?

[rudel451]

compare!!! can anyone translate the vocals to this song. the old guy is definitely saying something off color....... help someone...........

[teedeeiss]

@rudel451 - LOL, that's EXACTLY what I wanna know. PLEASE, can someone translate & post what the old man is saying. He's awesome. He's totally what makes this scene ROCK!!! 1:12 am Feb. 23, 2011

[rig48]

the old guys teeth fall out?????? lol

[metallica1567]

Actually, being Persian is better than being Italian. I would know, because our history is older and we had the oldest empire in ancient times, have the best food in the world, and our music is better than yours. ;)

[tsakiboi]

@metallica1567 The Chinese is older, pre-dates the persian empire.

[fuzzydizzle]

@metallica1567 sei pazzo

[OnlineFilmReviews]

@metallica1567 You're not Persian you are Iranian. The Persian empire is gone lol.

[TheBorgettano]

@OnlineFilmReviews Persian is an ethnicity idiot. Iranian is a nationality. You can be an Israeli Arab. On paper you are Israeli but in your veins your Arab. oh yeah we're five so "lol"

[metallica1567]

@TheBorgettano

Baradar, I didn't mean to offend you in any way, but some of these retards on here really piss me off when they think that Italians are so superior, when our culture is older than theirs and we defeated the Romans on multiple occasions. Both nations have very beautiful cultures though, and our flags are the same color :D

[TheBorgettano]

@metallica1567 Koskesh, I'm both and neither's better than the other so keep off the Ahmadi band wagon of Persians being the light of the world. We're all equals. If we were so much better than we wouldn't have these mollah in power right now. At least I can freely go back to Italy.

[newhaymartin]

Please check out my band, Martin James & Associates, if you like this video!!

[Haloredvblue]

Thank you so much for posting this I've looked for this version EVERYWHERE!

[newhaymartin]

@Haloredvblue No Worries!

[rodier2]

@Haloredvblue same here :-D

[livin4fishin09]

nothing better than being Italian!!!

[Anubi1989]

In sud of Italy all wedding are like this... are very funny and is very possible that a wedding can be celebrate for 2-3-4 days.... we love to have partyies in italy! and have fun!! :-) I hope you all can enjoy our italian-stye! Bye!!

[carbonfootprintmyass]

i wish i was italian...........and in the mafia

[ippikon]

@carbonfootprintmyass you don't know what it means stay in italy, be italian and live in this country with the mafia into government. In the Godfather you see the old mafia, made of gentleman, nowadays is different.

[gambini18]

@ippikon

bravo. hai capito tutto.

kittykatro is an idiot.

[nWoVuistInSter]

"C'e la luna mezz'o mare. Mamma mia me maritari!"

"Figghia mia, a cu te dari?"

"Mamma mia pensaci tu."

[MrWogboy69er]

reminds me of my weddying all the italians singing laughin having fun

[gwous]

my family is from sicilie and we party like this its awesome!

[DarkAngelEU]

does anyone know what they're actually singing? Cos I'm belgian and we no speak Italian =/ wanna learn it tho

[marafeo]

@DarkAngelEU

this's song is difficult to understand for an italian too because is in sicilian slang. Talks about a mother that explain at her virgin bride about her first wedding night. It's full of funny sexual meanings...

[laurensmalter]

@marafeo No shit! I figured that out from what the old guy was doing.. xD

[philis56]

oh my god this song is very addictive.... :D

[CurlyHairChris]

The old man reminds me of my Grandpa...A.N. from Carpinone, Miss you, Grandpa!
