Lyrics of La gonna - Ornella Vanoni

La gonna (original)

chi lo sa se lo sa che?
una gonna.
E si liscia, si modella,
fruscia ed esci in passerella.
Lo faceva gi?
la nonna,
che era proprio una gran gonna.
Ciondolando sornione (ma chi)
stava l?
sul portone (ah s?)
pantaloni not?
quella gonna.
E le disse turbato (ohib?)
lei?
tutta di seta (lo so)
se lo vuole sar?
la mia gonna.
Lei decise «niente male
quasi quasi, mi lascio andare».
Lo faceva gi?
la nonna
che era proprio una gran gonna.
Poi, volere o no,
vuoi, a volte?
bello essere donna
vai, non c’entri tu
ma la tua gonna…
Son passate tre ore (di gi?)
ha cambiato colore (ma va)
stropicciata qua e l?
quella gonna.
D’improvviso s'?
aperta (opl?)
e s'?
fatta pi?
corta (voil?)
quasi inutile ormai come gonna.
E' caduta sul tappeto
rivelando il suo segreto
Lo faceva gi?
la nonna,
che era proprio una gran gonna.
Poi, volere o no,
vuoi, e ti conviene fare la donna
vai, non c’entri tu
ma la tua gonna…
Son passate sei ore (ma va)
non si sente rumore (perch?)
ora dormono gi?
uomo e donna.
Nell’armadio sfiniti (da che)
sono ancora abbracciati (ma chi)
pantaloni e la sua nuova gonna.

(translation)

who knows if he knows that?
a skirt.
And she smoothes herself, shapes herself,
rustle and go out on the catwalk.
Did she already do it?
grandmother,
which was just a great skirt.
Dangling slyly (but who)
was there?
on the door (ah yes?)
pants not?
that skirt.
And she told her upset (ohib?)
she?
all silk (I know)
if she wants it will be?
my skirt.
She decided «not bad
almost almost, I let myself go ».
Did she already do it?
grandmother
which was just a great skirt.
Then, like it or not,
do you want, sometimes?
nice to be a woman
go, you are not involved
but your skirt ...
It's been three hours (already?)
she changed color (but go)
wrinkled here and there?
that skirt.
Suddenly yes?
open (opl?)
and s'?
made more?
short (voil?)
almost useless now as a skirt.
She fell on the carpet
of her revealing her secret
Did she already do it?
grandmother,
which was just a great skirt.
Then, like it or not,
you want, and you better be a woman
go, you are not involved
but your skirt ...
It's been six hours (but go)
there is no noise (why?)
now they sleep already?
man and woman.
In the closet exhausted (from what)
are still embraced (but who)
pants and her new skirt.
