24 mila baci - 24,000 Kisses

Amami
ti voglio bene!

Con 24 mila baci
oggi saprei perché l'amore
vuole ogn'istante mille baci
mille carezze vuole all'ora.
Con 24 mila baci
felici corrono le ore
d’un giorno splendido perché
ogni secondo bacio te.

Niente bugie meravigliose,
frasi d'amore appassionate,
ma solo baci che do a te,
ye.. ye.. ye.. ye.. ye.. ye.. ye!
Con 24 mila baci
così frenetico è l'amore
in questo giorno di follia
ogni minuto è tutto mio.

Con 24 mila baci
tu mi hai portato alla follia
Con 24 mila baci
ogni secondo è tutto mio
Con 24 mila baci
ogni secondo bacio te

"24 mila baci" appeared in the 1961 musicarello film Io bacio... tu baci (I Kiss, You Kiss), which featured the music of Mina.

Love me,
I love you!

With 24 thousand kisses,
today I’d like to know why love
wants a thousand kisses every moment,
a thousand caresses it wants every hour.
With 24 thousand kisses,
delighted course the hours
of a splendid day, because
every second I kiss you.

No marvelous lies
or passionate expressions of love,
but only kisses that I give to you,
ye.. ye.. ye.. ye.. ye.. ye.. ye!
With 24 thousand kisses,
so frenetic love is,
in this crazy day
every minute is all mine.

With 24 thousand kisses,
delighted run the hours
of a splendid day because
with 24 thousand kisses
you made me crazy.
With 24 thousand kisses
every second is all mine,
with 24 thousand kisses
Every second I kiss you.

Peppermint Twist was Celentano's third album on the Jolly label, released in 1962 after he got out of the military. The album is a collection of previously released singles, with arrangements and backing again by Giulio Libano and his orchestra. Celentano was in a legal dispute with Jolly and had already started his own label, Clan Celentano, but Jolly continued to release previously released singles on this and one more album, even while Celentano was going off on his own.
