Ciribiribin

"Ciribiribin" [tʃiribiriˈbin] is a merry Piedmontese ballad, originally in three-quarter time, composed by Alberto Pestalozza in 1898 with lyrics by Carlo Tiochet. It quickly became popular and has been recorded by many artists. Decades later it enjoyed continued popularity with swing and jazz bands, played in four-four time.

The distinguishing feature of the song is repeated use of the five-note title phrase. In the sheet music the name is indicated to be enunciated chiri-biri-bean to allow singers to hold the vowel at the end as long as they like.

Artists who have recorded the song in Italian include Gracie Fields, Mario Lanza, Claudio Villa, and Renato Carosone. Coloratura sopranos Mado Robin and Erna Sack recorded the song as well (in German for Erna Sack).
