The original song was sung by the Italian singer Tony Renis in 1962;
its many American covers mostly only partially translated the original refrain
/dimmi quando quando quando/ into
/tell me quando quando quando/.
quando: when
(There are quite many better Italian songs around, imho)

Quando = When
“Tell me, quando, quando, quando?!”
It seems to be an expression of strong curiosity to know “when”.

Fun fact: "Cuando" is Spanish for "when". It is pronounced the same way as "quando". :)
