Notes: the Italian phrase "ti voglio bene " means "I really, really care about you"

and is an expression of affection also used in non-romantic situations. The word

"signorina" is used as a courtesy titled for an unmarried woman in an

Italian-speaking area, equivalent to "Miss." and "mia signorina" might be

interpreted as "my lady". ( with appreciation to David Schaider for his investigation

of this phrase on behalf of the Como Discography. David also helped extensively

with Italian transcriptions, and translation, for Perry's 1966 Italian album

recorded in Rome.)
