W Maddalena [English translation]

It's a magical night of passion

Reaching up to the sea for this song

Your red dress and [your] hair in the wind

Light as a wave, I dive into the deep

Maddalena, so pretty, so beautiful1

Maddalena, you've got a gift for dancing

Maddalena, never tires, never rests

Maddalena, wild but so special

I want this moon of temptations

You know I'm Italian and I live for emotions

I freeze in your eyes, blue as the sky

But it's worth it, and it's with you I take flight

Maddalena, so pretty, so beautiful

Maddalena, you've got a gift for dancing

Maddalena, never tires, never rests

Maddalena, wild but so special

Viva! Viva!2 Maddalena

Of my soul and of my heart3

Viva! Viva! Maddalena

Maddalena, this song is for you

Maddalena, Maddalena, Maddalena

I know that when the sun sets

It's Maddalena who bewitches me

Maddalena, Maddalena, Maddalena

You're so beautiful, a little wild, but so special

The way your body moves4 makes me tremble

Maddalena, you're my star in front of the sea

This tropical rhythm makes the moon speak

Maddalena, there's no one like you

Maddalena, so pretty, so beautiful

Maddalena, you've got a gift for dancing

Maddalena, never tires, never rests

Maddalena, wild but so special

Viva! Viva! Maddalena

Of my soul and of my heart

Viva! Viva! Maddalena

Maddalena, this song is for you

Maddalena, Maddalena, Maddalena

I know that when the sun sets

It's Maddalena who bewitches me

Maddalena, never tires, never rests

You're so beautiful, a little wild, but so special

1. This was already in Spanish.2. Choose not to translate this either, but a translation of it would be 'Long live..' or 'Hurray...!' etc.3. This was also already in Spanish.4. Literally: "The movement of your body makes me tremble". I was more free with this part.
