Lyrics of La nevicata del ‘56 - Mia Martini

La nevicata del ‘56 (original)

Ti ricordi, una volta
Si sentiva soltanto
Il rumore del fiume la sera
Ti ricordi lo spazio
I chilometri interi
Automobili poche, allora
Le canzoni alla radio
Le partite allo stadio
Sulle spalle di mio padre
La fontana cantava
E quell’acqua era chiara
Dimmi che era così
C’era pure la giostra
Sotto casa nostra
E la musica che suonava
Io bambina sognavo
Un vestito da sera con tremila sottane
Tu la donna che già lo portava
C’era sempre un gran sole
E la notte era bella com’eri tu
E c’era pure la luna
Molto meglio di adesso
Molto più di così
Com'è, com'è, com'è
Che c’era posto pure per le favole
E un vetro che riluccica
Sembrava l’America
E chi l’ha vista mai
E zitta e zitta poi
La nevicata del '56
Roma era tutta candida
Tutta pulita e lucida
Tu mi dici di sì
L’hai più vista così?
Che tempi quelli
Roma era tutta candida
Tutta pulita e lucida
Tu mi dici di sì
L’hai più vista così?
La nevicata del '56
Che tempi quelli

(translation)

Do you remember, once
She felt alone
The sound of the river in the evening
You remember the space
The whole kilometers
Few cars, then
The songs on the radio
The matches at the stadium
On my father's shoulders
The fountain sang
And that water was clear
Tell me it was like that
There was also the carousel
Under our house
And the music he played
I, as a child, was dreaming
An evening dress with three thousand petticoats
You the woman who already wore it
There was always a great sun
And the night was as beautiful as you were
And there was also the moon
Much better than now
Much more than that
How it is, how it is, how it is
That there was also room for fairy tales
And a glass that glitters
It looked like America
And who has ever seen it
And shut up and shut up then
The snowfall of '56
Rome was all white
All clean and shiny
You tell me yes
Have you ever seen her like this?
What times those
Rome was all white
All clean and shiny
You tell me yes
Have you ever seen her like this?
The snowfall of '56
What times those
