"Buon Natale" is a song by Dave Cavanaugh and written by Bob Saffer & Frank Linale. Christmas, as it is celebrated in Italy, has two origins: the familiar traditions of Christianity blended with the pagan traditions predating the Christmas era. The greatest feast of the ancient Roman Empire, "Saturnalia" (a winter solstice celebration), just happens to coincide with the Christmas celebrations of the Advent. Consequently, Christmas fairs, merry-making and torch processions, honor not only the birth of Christ, but also the birth of the "Unconquered Sun." "Natale," the Italian word for Christmas, is literally the translation for "birthday."
Buon Natale, means Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale to everyone, Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale, may all your wishes come true
Buon Natale in Italy means a Merry Christmas to you
Far away across the sea in sunny Italy
There's a quaint little town
Not a clock has been wound
For over a century
They don't know the time or year
And no one seems to care
And this is the reason the Christmas season
Is celebrated all year
Oh, Buon Natale, a Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale to everyone, Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale, may all your wishes come true
Buon Natale to Italy means a Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale, means Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale to everyone, Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale, may all your wishes come true
Buon Natale in Italy means a Merry Christmas to you
Far away across the sea in sunny Italy
There's a quaint little town
Not a clock has been wound
For over a century
They don't know the time or year
And no one seems to care
And this is the reason the Christmas season
Is celebrated all year
Oh, Buon Natale, a Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale to everyone, Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale, may all your wishes come true
Buon Natale to Italy means a Merry Christmas to you
