I am new to this forum and am looking for the Italian lyrics to The Roe in Her Hair from the 1935 Broadway hit 'The Gondolier'.
In her eyes there was moonlight and a rose in her hair
In my arms there was no-one so I just put her there. On her lips was a promise in my heart was a prayer
When I finally went I went home with the scent of the rose in her hair.
When we were children our parents taught us to sing and this was one of the songs we sang. But they they would sing together in Italian and we never learned those words because we were too busy listening to our mum and dad sing it was so beautiful.
They and many our siblings are have now died but we have been looking for the italian words so any help would be appreciated.
thanks
