"Ciribiribin" [tʃiribiriˈbin] is a merry Piedmontese ballad, originally in three-quarter time, composed by Alberto Pestalozza in 1898 with lyrics by Carlo Tiochet.
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.
[3] Artists who have recorded the song in Italian include Gracie Fields, Mario Lanza, Claudio Villa, and Renato Carosone.
