Lyrics: Marina
Mi sono innamorato di Marina una ragazza mora ma carina ma lei non vuol saperne del mio amore cosa faro' per conquistarle il cuor. Un girono l'ho incontrata sola sola, il cuotre mi batteva mille all'ora. Quando le dissi che la volevo amare mi diede un bacio e l'amor sboccio'... Marina, Marina, Marina Ti voglio al piu' presto sposar Marina, Marina, Marina Ti voglio al piu' presto sposar O mia bella mora no non mi lasciare non mi devi rovinare oh, no, no, no, no, no...
