| Festa, nella casa popolare al tre,
| Party, in the council house at three,
|
| Paste, vino in fresco come al tabarin.
| Pastes, fresh wine as in tabarin.
|
| Gira, gira gira il giradischi e va,
| Turn, turn, turn the turntable and go,
|
| Solo appoggiato in fondo al muro sta, zitto sta
| Only leaning against the wall is, shut up
|
| Il dritto, non voleva ballar, non voleva ballar: guardava.
| Straight, he didn't want to dance, he didn't want to dance: he looked.
|
| Il dritto, non sapeva ballar, non sapeva ballar, fingeva.
| The forehand, he didn't know how to dance, he didn't know how to dance, he pretended.
|
| Diceva lui di odiare l’amore, ma scoppiava il suo cuore
| He said he hated love, but his heart burst
|
| La vita lui no! | Life not him! |
| La vita si la vita lui lui la prende così.
| Life is life he takes it like that.
|
| La vita si la vita lui lui la prende così.
| Life is life he takes it like that.
|
| Lampi, son petardi di cartone la,
| Lightnings, there are cardboard firecrackers,
|
| Tuoni, e la casa sembra un varietà.
| Thunder, and the house looks like a variety.
|
| Suda, ma la fronte non si asciuga mai,
| Sweats, but the forehead never dries,
|
| Gira, gira gira il giradischi e va, ma dove Va…
| Turn, turn, turn the turntable and go, but where does it go ...
|
| Il dritto, lui si mise a ballar, lui si mise a ballar da solo.
| Straight, he started dancing, he started dancing alone.
|
| Il dritto, continuava a gridar, seguitava a gridar: «perdòno».
| The obverse, he kept shouting, kept shouting: "I forgive you."
|
| Diceva di volere l’amore, ma finì contro il muro e la vita finì!
| He said he wanted love, but he ended up against the wall and life ended!
|
| La vita si la vita lui lui la finì così.
| Life is life he he ended up like that.
|
| La vita si la vita lui lui la finì così.
| Life is life he he ended up like that.
|
| La vita si la vita lui lui la finì così. | Life is life he he ended up like that. |
