Translation of the song lyrics Il leone e la gallina - Mina

Il leone e la gallina (original)

La gallina coccodé
Spaventata in mezzo all’aia
Fra le vigne e i cavolfiori
Mi sfuggiva gaia
Penso a lei e guardo te
Che già tremi perché sai
Che tra i boschi o in mezzo ai fiori
Presto mia sarai
Arrossisci finché che vuoi
Corri, fuggi, se puoi
Ma ah-ah non servirà!
Ma oh-oh non servirà!
C’era un cane un po' barbone
Che legato alla catena
Mi ruggiva come un leone
Ma faceva pena
Penso a lui e guardo me
Che minaccio chissà che
Mascherata da leone
Ma ho paura di te
Arrossisci tu che puoi
Io ruggisco, se vuoi
Ma ah-ah cos’accadrà?
Ma ah-ah cos’accadrà?
Sono io che scelgo te
O sei tu che scegli me
Sembra quasi un gran problema
Ma il problema non c'è
Gira gira la gran ruota
E la terra non è vuota
Ad ognuno la sua parte
Saper vivere è un’arte
Arrossisci finché che vuoi
Corri, fuggi, se puoi
Ma ah, non servirà!
Ma ah-ah non servirà!
(Non serve. Se ti dico che non servirà ma tu non mi dai retta)
(Beh, non serve. Non servirà)
(Ah-ah allora vuol dire che non serve. Non servirà)
(Ah-ah non-ser-vi-rà)
(Co-codé, co-codé, cocodé, co-coccodé)
(Co-co-dé yo)
(Co cocodé co-cocodé)
(Co-co cocodé co-co cocodé. Uh!)

Il leone e la gallina (translation)

The coccodé hen
Scared in the middle of the farmyard
Between the vineyards and the cauliflowers
I escaped gaily
I think of her and I look at you
That you are already trembling because you know
Whether in the woods or among the flowers
Soon you will be mine
Blush as long as you want
Run, escape if you can
But ah-ah it won't help!
But oh-oh it won't help!
There was a dog that was a bit bum
That tied to the chain
He roared at me like a lion
But it was painful
I think about him and look at me
What a threat who knows what
Masquerade as a lion
But I'm afraid of you
Blush as much as you can
I roar if you want
But ah-ah what will happen?
But ah-ah what will happen?
It is I who choose you
Or is it you who choose me
It almost seems like a big deal
But the problem is not there
Turn the great wheel turns
And the earth is not empty
To each his part
Knowing how to live is an art
Blush as long as you want
Run, escape if you can
But ah, it won't help!
But ah-ah it won't help!
(No need. If I tell you it won't help but you don't listen to me)
(Well, it won't. It won't.)
(Ah-ah then it means that it is not needed. It will not be needed)
(Ah-ah non-ser-vi-rà)
(Co-codé, co-codé, cocodé, co-coccodé)
(Co-co-dé yo)
(Co cocodé co-cocodé)
(Co-co cocodé co-co cocodé. Uh!)
