Tino Rossi

Constantin "Tino" Rossi (29 April 1907 – 26 September 1983) was a Corsican French singer and film actor.

Rossi, born in Ajaccio, Corsica, was gifted with a voice well suited for opera. He became a tenor in the French cabaret-style. Later, he appeared in various movies. During his career he recorded hundreds of songs and he appeared in more than 25 films, the most notable of which was the 1953 production, Si Versailles m'était conté directed by Sacha Guitry. His romantic ballads had especially women swooning and his art-songs by Jules Massenet (1842–1912), Reynaldo Hahn (1875–1947), and other composers, sold out theaters wherever he performed.

He remains the only French singer to have sold more than 700 million records. His disc "Petit Papa Noël" alone sold 80 million copies worldwide.

Biography

As a young man, Rossi played guitar and sang in many places of his hometown of Ajaccio, but later he went to perform in Marseilles and at resort clubs along the French Riviera. In the early 1930s he went to Paris and within a few years achieved enormous success, joining a Columbia Records roster that included the biggest stars of the day such as Lucienne Boyer, Damia, Pills et Tabet, Mireille, and Jean Sablon.

Tchi tchi

by: Tino Rossi

Tu n'as que seize ans et faut voir comme
Tu affoles déjà tous les hommes !
Est-ce ton œil si doux
Qui les mine ?
Ou bien les rondeurs de ta poitrine
Qui les rend fous ?
{Refrain:}
O catalinetta bella ! Tchi-tchi
Ecoute l'amour t'appelle Tchi-tchi
Pourquoi dire non maintenant ? Ah... ah...
Faut profiter quand il est temps : Ah... ah...
Plus tard quand tu seras vieille, Tchi-tchi
Tu diras, baissant l'oreille, Tchi-tchi
Si j'avais su dans ce temps-là... Ah... ah...
O ma belle Catalinetta
Malgré les jolis mots, les invites,
Tu remets à demain, tu hésites...
Ça c'est, en vérité,
Ridicule !
Dis-toi bien, au fond, que tu recules
Pour mieux sauter !
{Refrain}
Pourquoi donc te montrer si rebelle ?
L'amour c'est une chose éternelle !
Demande-le, crois-moi,
A ta mère ;
Elle l'a chanté avec ton père,
Bien avant toi !
{Refrain}
