Learn Italian in Song: Sandokan
Translations of Lyrics for Italian Songs
I noticed that someone had ended up on my site while searching for these lyrics. Sandokan, the Tiger of Malaysia, is an old favorte of mine, so I'm happy to fill this gap. The video above is a montage that gives you an idea what the TV show was like, using the song as recorded for the show. Below you'll find a sing-along version! It's not a great song in any way, but the show and song are fondly remembered by many (including me, though I saw it in later re-airings). |
