Grandi Grandi Grandi
Hi there,
Let me introduce a beautiful song to you named “Grandi Grandi Grandi”. It’s originally written in Italian language by Tony Renis and Alberto Testa. It was a No. 1 hit for Mina in Italy and Shirley Bassey released it as "Never Never Never." Many other singers followed the success of Grande Grande Grande. To mention, Celine Dion with Luciano Pavarotti, Vicky Carr, Julio Iglesias with Nana Mouskouri covering the song in various languages. My version is covered in my native language Papiamento. When I was translating the song there was a discussion going on about the legal status of Papiamento. I will not bother you with this political issue. But I made a kind of “Joke” about that discussion. Actually Papiamento is a mixture of some languages including Spanish. So many native Spanish speaking people living on the island and also the locals also use Spanish words in daily conversations. This habit I’d used in my version of Grandi Grandi Grandi.
