Lyrics
Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please, don’t make me wait again
When will you say yes to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh, my love please tell me when
Every moment’s a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
I can’t wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it’s me that you adore
And then, darling tell me when
Every moment’s a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare
I can’t wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it’s me that you adore
And then, darling tell me when
Oh, my darling tell me when
Mmm, my darling tell me when
When?
