I’m an American citizen but have lived much of my life overseas. Because I married an Italian, I lived in Italy from 1991 – first in Milan and then, since 2003, in Lecco on Lake Como. In early 2008, I moved to Colorado, and travelled a lot for both work and pleasure. Since April, 2010, I have been living in San Francisco. I have one daughter, Rossella, born in 1989.

Hello Deirdre,

I’ve written you several times in the past and each time you have a new setup. How wonderful that you are so talented.
I loved the music for “Countries that start with ???” (I just moved all the songs on to a CD because I’m getting a new computer in October.) I loved all of them and enjoyed “Concert for Priest and Bells Musical” – you also had a whole list of Italian songs which helped me to learn some of the words Italian-English. Which brings me to ask if you still have the same list in your Countries Beginning with I . . .

Once again, I thank you for your help.
Grazie,
Marie

Thanks! I haven’t had a lot of time to do translations in recent years, but you can find them all here: http://www.beginningwithi.com/comments/tag/italian-songs/
