Description
Das Drehbuch des Filmes "Guaglione" mit Terence Hill basiert auf dem Lied "Guaglione", das 1956 in Italien ein großer Erfolg gewesen ist. Der Originalinterpret des Songs war Aurelio Fierro, im Film wird es allerdings von Claudio Villa gesungen. Der Song war damals so erfolgreich, dass auch viele fremdsprachige Versionen entstanden, u.a. nahm Dean Martin ebenfalls 1956 eine englischsprachige Version mit dem Titel The Man who plays the Mandolino auf. Dieser Dean Martin Song wurde schließlich 52 Jahre später für den Soundtrack von Mord ist mein Geschäft, Liebling benutzt.

Lyrics
With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senoritas he can win
Always for another guy.

Italians love to sip a cup of cappuccino
And listen to the man who plays the mandolino
You offer him a cigarette a glass of wine
That's how he's paid to serenade your lady fair.

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senoritas he can win
Always for another guy.

He seems like such a happy man, the man who plays the mandolino
He sings a song of sweet romance for all the lovers as they dance
But all he's holding in his arms is just a little mandolino
He has no woman of his own so every night he walks alone.

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senoritas he can win
Always for another guy.

He drinks a toast to his true love each time he lifts a glass of vino
And so until that lucky day he looks for her along the way.

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senoritas he can win
Always for another guy
The man who plays the mandolino.
