Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia is the main song of Walt Disney's 1962 animated film Cat and Dupli-cat and the 1967 MGM cartoon of the same name. In this song performed by Terence Monck as Tom, he is singing a beautiful ballad while rowing on a washtub with a broomstick amongst some docks under a crescent moon. The original 1962 Disney version of the film has the full song sung entirely in English with some vocalizations while the 1967 MGM version has a shorter version sung in Italian without the vocalizations.

Lyrics
[Tom]

On the sea glitters of the silver star.

Placida is the wave, prosperous is the wind.

On the sea glitters of the silver star.

Placida is the wave, prosperous is the wind.

Come to my agile boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Come to my agile boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

(Angelic vocalizing)

With this zeffiro, so sweet,

Oh, how nice it is to be on the ship!

With this zeffiro, so sweet,

Oh, how nice it is to be on the ship!

On strollers, come away!

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

On strollers, come away!

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

(Angelic vocalizing continues)

In between the tents, ban dinner

On such a serene evening,

In between the tents, ban dinner

On such a serene evening,

Who does not ask, who does not give.

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Who does not ask, who does not give.

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

(Angelic vocalizing continues once more)

Sea so placid, wind so dear,

Scordar makes the triboli to the sailor,

Sea so placid, wind so dear,

Scordar makes the triboli to the sailor,

And he is shouting with joy,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

And he is shouting with joy,

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

(A woman is heard vocalizing an operatic aria while the Angelic chorus continued to vocalize once more.)

O sweet Naples, or blessed sole,

Where creation wanted to smile,

O sweet Naples, or blessed sole,

Where creation wanted to smile,

You are the empire of harmony,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

You are the empire of harmony,

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

(The vocalizing continues once again.)

Now what delay? Beautiful is in the evening.

Breathe a fresh and light auretta.

Now what delay? Beautiful is in the evening.

Breathe a fresh and light auretta.

Come to my agile boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Come to my agile boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

(The vocalizing has finished as Tom reaches the docks to stand while singing the last lines of the ballad.)

Come to my agile boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Come to my agile boat,

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Santa Lucia! Santa Luciaaaaaaaaaa!

Tra la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
