A World Apart: 2 Women With Birthdates in 1800s Still Alive
"When Susannah Mushatt Jones and Emma Morano were born in 1899, there was not yet world war or penicillin, and electricity was still considered a marvel. The women are believed to be the last two in the world with birthdates in the 1800s...
Anna Morano
Born: Nov. 29, 1899
Verbania, Italy...
Morano has lived on her own ever since she left her husband in 1938 because he beat her. Now 115, she resides in a neat one-room apartment in Verbania, a mountain town overlooking Lake Major in northwest Italy...
"I sang in my house, and people on the road stopped to hear me singing. And then they had to run because they were late and should go to work," she recalled, before breaking into a round of the 1930s Italian love song
"Parlami d'amore Mariu."
"Ahh, I don't have my voice anymore," she lamented at the end..."

Susannah Mushatt Jones
Born: July 6, 1899
Brooklyn, New York...
Now 115 years old, Jones spends her days in her one-bedroom apartment in a public housing facility for seniors in Brooklyn, where she has lived for more than three decades.
She sticks to a strict daily routine: Every morning she wakes up around 9 a.m., takes a bath and then eats several slices of bacon, scrambled eggs and grits...."

Speak to me of love Maria (Parlami d'Amore Mariu)
How beautiful you are and even more so tonight, Maria!
A starry smile shines in these blue eyes of yours!
Even if destiny will be adverse tomorrow
tonight I'm close to you, what's the sighing for?
Speak to me of love Maria!
You are my whole life!
Your two blue eyes are shining
twinkling like two stars
Tell me this isn't an illusion
Tell me that you're all mine
Here in your heart I don't suffer anymore
Speak to me of love Maria!
I know what a pretty and red-blooded siren you are
I know that whoever looks into these blue eyes of yours gets lost
but why should I care if all the people laugh at me
better off in the bottomless whirlpool as long as I'm always with you
Speak to me of love Maria!
You are my whole life!
Your two blue eyes are shining
twinkling like two stars
Tell me this isn't an illusion
Tell me that you're all mine
Here in your heart I don't suffer anymore
Speak to me of love Maria!
Tell me this isn't an illusion
Tell me that you're all mine
Here in your heart I don't suffer anymore
Speak to me of love Maria!
Here in your heart I don't suffer anymore
Speak to me of love Maria!
