My dad had a 78RPM record of this song on one side and the song 'NON DIMENTICAR' on the other side. It was one of my favorite record and I would have listened to many times when I was growing up now as an old man I have tears in my eyes when I hear this song. I don't understand a word of the song, but I feel the song talking directly to my heart.
I remember an old 78 with this song too... I was a young child at the time....I started thinking about it earlier today but had no clue what the song was...so I asked Google, what's this song, started humming it and voila, this came up. It's the right song...amazing... Wonderful to hear after all these years... 👏
When I was 13 years old, 53 years ago, I played this song in an electric guitar competition and won first play. I wish I could have been able to listen to Silvana Mangano perform this song back then!
I love this song too. It's supposed to be Brazilian but the lyrics are in Spanish, not Portuguese. Here's my (probly gawdawful) English translation: Here comes el negro zumbon (like, "the black party guy" or merrymaker) Happily dancing the baion (Brazil dance) Banging the zambomba (type of drum) And calling out to the all the women Silvana's part (I know, it's not really her, she was dubbed): I have an urge for dancing this new beat Everybody I pass says: (chorus sings) "Hey girl, where you going?" "I'm going to dance, the baion!" That's it, rinse and repeat. Short but oh so sweet!
@@texfx It's a song written by great composer named Armando Trovajoli, a guy well known to people who like old day italian movies. Like Ennio Morricone who is also born in Rome he was a superbly productive guy, delivering new movie sound tracks during his long life span, beginning in 1949, Riso amaro (Bitter Rice) , his last contribution was for the movie, concorrenza sleale (Unfair Business Practice)! The song became very famous in Brasil after the movie Anna (1951) was released ! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Negro_Zumb%C3%B3n
Saw this movie in Cyprus in the 50s when I was a kid, and up to this day I've never forgotten this song, though can't remember the movie itself. Only today I was speaking to my sister who's in London, and she reminded me of this song, so I just had to look it up. Wish I could see the whole movie.
I heard this as a 13 year old in 1951 on the kitchen radio and loved it . Made up my own rote lyrics which I still sing to this day , not knowing which language she is singing. I thought it was Italian. Interesting she is grandmother to Gia the chef as someone mentioned here. This song became a talisman for me. I was bullied by an older girl in my neighbourhood. Went to a collegiate and was intimidating. Walking. Home one day I was singing this song . Turns out she loved it and was so Impressed I “knew” the lyrics ..I taught her my rote sounds and we did become soul mates of a kind..over music.
I saw Anna as I was in the throes of puberty (no age restrictions in the early 1950s) and the tune of El Bayon has been rattling around in my mind since then.
In Quebec where I was born, I was maybe more or less 2 years old (1951--52--53) when that song was playing on the radio and heard it after that occasionally in the 50's and rarely after that...I never forget how I love to hear the music and what sounds even today a playful lyrics although I still do not know the meanings of the words. I love it!
I was about five years old when listened this, (in Finland, west cost, in the city of Seinäjoki) and since then this song and its rythm and acctres it´ts still shivering me. love this so much
Tendría 9 o 10 años y vi esta película en un cine de tablas. La verdad es que solo tuve ojos ára Silvana Mangano... Me enamoré de ella tan profundamente que jamás la olvidé. Creo que la amaba... Carlos Ordenes Pincheira
It's the best video clip ever placed on You Tube; I remember the song was a big hit in the early 50's in many different versions, as was the custom then
Tenía unos ocho años cuando entré a u cine hecho de tablas no muy seguro pero se daban las películas...era la película arroz amargo, con silvana mangano. yo no sabía leer y me dediqué a verla solo a ella, pues me sentí enamotado en forma total,,, y nunca dejé de amarla...60 años después la he visto de nuevo en esta maravilloso película y volví q sentir ganas de llorar cuando tendida en el suelos cada trabajadora le lanzaba unpuñado de arroz hasta cubirla---
All of Silvana Mangano's movies use to place on local TV stations (English dubbed) in the greater Detroit area. I miss see them. I wish someone on youtube would post her movies (English dubbed please)for new generations to view. What a shame to keep locked-up in some vault! Thank you very much for this post.
Thanks for this gem! I used to play this song over and over again from my parents record collection. I forget about it completely for 30+ years until I seen Cinema Paradiso.
And I first heard it 30 YEARS AGO watching Cinema Paradiso on the big screen and absolutely loving this scene and wondering about the name of the movie and the actress singing and dancing in it. Fast forward to 2020 when I am thrilled to hear this joyful tune on Netflix’s THE IRISHMAN and to have to power of the Internet, IMDb and UA-cam to finally get some answers. What a wonderful time to live in.
one of the best mlodies for the guitar,I learnt to play the guitar because of this melody,what a great melody,Thanks ANNA I play this very well on the guitar Ivan11449
I love this, after I saw the clip in "Cinema Paradiso." I am still having an awful time finding a zone-correct DVD of the movie. I bought a CD of it, and my 8-year-old daughter and I sing and dance to it.
Llevaba 12 años detrás de este número musical ¡qué alegría haber dado al final con él! Vi el fragmento en Cinema Paradiso y luego los Avalanches incluyeron el inicio en uno de los temas de su primer álbum... ¡gracias! Es realmente maravilloso.
My parents had the 78rpm of the song. My father absolutely loved Iltalian cinema. This is the very first song I ever danced to; Thank you for posting htis, brings back a rush of memories. After frantically trying to work out what this song wes by watching cinema Paradisio, I heard the Pink Martini cover and got the original. But the images are beyond words.
Thrilled to discover this song with the video. Used to hear it as a child from dad's 78RPM collection. Did not know that it was this hot. To learn that the band Pink Martini performs this number makes me want to go their concert.
It was a shame that Silvana did not choose to settle in Hollywood which was unconditionally open to her. If she did, with her amazing beauty, talent and caliber, she would have been Hollywood's Goddess pushing the 50's American female stars out of business
My first girlfriend and I (We were both 12 in 1953) Played this one over and over again, especially when the lights were out. A big hit in Americana and everywhere else . Written by movie composer Armando TROVAJOLI widower of Actress Pier Angeli. Silvana Mangano is the Grand Mother of Chef Giada De Laurentiis. Trovajoli lived into his 90's ?
Thanks! My mother wouldn't allow me to see this movie back when it was out, and I'd always wanted to see it! I had the 78 record of it and I still play this on guitar when the audience wants a meringue!
questo film lo visto prime di andare via della mia citta nel 1950 ,quando ho visto questa donna cantare e ballare mi sono subito innamorato di lei senza poterla dimenticare, Nel 1951 sono andato via doppo una 20 di anni ho pensato a lei ho fatto tutto per ricordarmi il titolo del film ; ci sono riuscito ,lo rivisto ieri sera in me non ce niente di cambiato per questa donna, il film e discreto ma lei e rimasta il mio amore la dove e ; l'abbraccio aldo
Que sensual Silvana, una diosa, vi toda la película Anna, y al llegar a esta escena quedé petrificado, no me lo esperaba, no había escuchado la canción antes
Song by Armando Trovajoli, a guy well known by people who like old day italian movies. Like Ennio Morricone who is also a Rome native, this guy was enormly productivity throughout his entire 95 year long life span, delivering soundtrack for an astonoshing number of movies, on average 5 to 6 production a year First movie soundtrack is from 1949, Riso amaro (Bitter Rice), his last contribution was for the movie, Concorrenza Sleale (Unfair Business Practice)!

Силвана Мангано-колко красота ,нежност ,естественост,талант и индивидуалност !
Узор за нашу Силвану Арменулић
When I was 13 years old, 53 years ago, I played this song in an electric guitar competition and won first play. I wish I could have been able to listen to Silvana Mangano perform this song back then!
I ARRIVED HERE AFTER A LOT OF SEARCHING..AFTER WATCHING CINEMA PARADISO !!.THUMBS UP IF ALSO DID
One of the best videos I have seen. Silvana is fantastic, makes Madonna look ordinary
Madonna is ordinary.
exactly!!!
Madonna does not even belong in the same sentence with this elegant, mesmerizing woman.
@@fitzgeraldanthony9333 Silvana had CLASS!!!!!!
@@franchescacarrasco6351 Indeed 👍!!
UNA DELLE DONNE PIù BELLE DI TUTTI I TEMPI
I don't know the meaning of the song but loved the way her moves and expression. Especially I like the music.
Cinema Paradiso bought me here.
Me too
her song Linda Linda Car in English also non dimenticar is in English also Shanghai Nat King Cole
I love this song too. It's supposed to be Brazilian but the lyrics are in Spanish, not Portuguese. Here's my (probly gawdawful) English translation:
Here comes el negro zumbon (like, "the black party guy" or merrymaker)
Happily dancing the baion (Brazil dance)
Banging the zambomba (type of drum)
And calling out to the all the women
Silvana's part (I know, it's not really her, she was dubbed): I have an urge for dancing this new beat
Everybody I pass says:
(chorus sings) "Hey girl, where you going?"
"I'm going to dance, the baion!"
That's it, rinse and repeat. Short but oh so sweet!

Inolvidable Silvana Mangano, toda una época del cine italiano. Arroz Amargo extraordinaria.
I loved this song when I was a kid...still love it and still love Silvana Mangano...one of the great ladies/beauties of film .
My dad loved this song so much he named me after it. I was born 1959.
And I was born after Corey Feldman and Alexander Godunov! Corey Alexander born in 1990
Honorary for you! That’s awesome
"... he named me after it." Your name is La Negra Zumbona?!
Oh my gosh, what a magnificent voice and song.
I saw Anna as I was in the throes of puberty (no age restrictions in the early 1950s) and the tune of El Bayon has been rattling around in my mind since then.
Qué afortunado felicidades
I saw the movie and I love the song. What a beautiful woman she was !
Divina! ma esistono ancora donne con questo fascino?? Io non ne vedo...

Grande! Grande! Grande! ... insuperabile!
There is a video sent in by Verna Engel of this song which is not from the film nor danced by the lovely Silvana Mangano
Silvana Mangano (1930-1989). O una preciosa mujer .. ¿Verdad que si?

Zwaar onderschatte en mooie Italiaanse actrice en zangeres !!
La mangano was divine
I saw the film, Anna in French Morocco in 1952, and fell in love with Silvana Mangano. I tried to get it on Netflix but apparently it's not on DVD.
