Translation of the song lyrics Era piccola così - Fred Buscaglione

Era piccola così (original)

T’ho veduta.
T’ho seguita.
T’ho fermata.
T’ho baciata.
Eri piccola, piccola, piccola, così!
M’hai guardato.
Hai taciuto.
ho pensato: «Beh, son piaciuto».
Eri piccola, piccola, piccola, così!
Poi, è nato il nostro folle amore,
che, ripenso ancora con terrore.
M’hai stregato.
T’ho creduta.
L’hai voluto.
T’ho sposata.
Eri piccola, piccola, piccola, sì, così!
T’ho viziata, coccolata,
pane, burro, marmellata.
Ma eri piccola, piccola, piccola, così!
E cretino sono stato,
anche il gatto m’hai venduto.
Ma eri piccola (eh già), piccola, piccola, così!
Tu, fumavi mille sigarette.
Io, facevo il grano col tresette.
Poi un giorno m’hai piantato
per un tipo spappolato.
T’ho cercato, l’ho scovato,
l’ho guardato, s'è squagliato.
Quattro schiaffi t’ho servito,
Tu mi hai detto: «Disgraziato!».
La pistola m’hai puntato, eh,
ed un colpo m’hai sparato.
A sì,
Spara, (bang).
e spara, (bang),
e spara, (bang)
khoff, khoff, khoff, khoff,
E pensare che eri piccola,
ma piccola, tanto piccola,
così!

(translation)

I've seen you.
I followed you.
I stopped you.
I kissed you.
You were baby, baby, baby, like this!
You looked at me.
You have been silent.
I thought, "Well, I liked it."
You were baby, baby, baby, like this!
Then, our crazy love was born,
that, I think again with terror.
You bewitched me.
I believed you.
You wanted it.
I married you.
You were baby, baby, baby, yeah, like this!
I spoiled you, pampered you,
bread, butter, jam.
But you were little, little, little, like this!
And I was an idiot,
even the cat you sold me.
But you were little (yeah), little, little, like this!
You, you smoked a thousand cigarettes.
I was making wheat with tresette.
Then one day you left me
for a pulped guy.
I looked for you, I found him,
I looked at it, it melted.
I served you four slaps,
You said to me: "Unfortunate!"
You pointed the gun at me, huh,
and you fired a shot at me.
A yes,
Shoot, (bang).
and shoot, (bang),
and shoot, (bang)
khoff, khoff, khoff, khoff,
And to think that you were little,
but baby, so small,
Like this!
