When George Bailey first enters Martini's bar in It's a Wonderful Life and prays for help, there is a song being sung in the background that isn't in English (possibly Italian?) and while I can't understand the lyrics, the tone doesn't seem like a Christmas song.
Can anyone identify the song, and does it have any connection to Christmas or to the message of the movie?
Here's a link to the scene: http://youtu.be/vRn26I2Bzd8
