| chi lo sa se lo sa che? | who knows if he knows that? |
| una gonna.
| a skirt.
|
| E si liscia, si modella,
| And she smoothes herself, shapes herself,
|
| fruscia ed esci in passerella.
| rustle and go out on the catwalk.
|
| Lo faceva gi? | Did she already do it? |
| la nonna,
| grandmother,
|
| che era proprio una gran gonna.
| which was just a great skirt.
|
| Ciondolando sornione (ma chi)
| Dangling slyly (but who)
|
| stava l? | was there? |
| sul portone (ah s?)
| on the door (ah yes?)
|
| pantaloni not? | pants not? |
| quella gonna.
| that skirt.
|
| E le disse turbato (ohib?)
| And she told her upset (ohib?)
|
| lei? | she? |
| tutta di seta (lo so)
| all silk (I know)
|
| se lo vuole sar? | if she wants it will be? |
| la mia gonna.
| my skirt.
|
| Lei decise «niente male
| She decided «not bad
|
| quasi quasi, mi lascio andare».
| almost almost, I let myself go ».
|
| Lo faceva gi? | Did she already do it? |
| la nonna
| grandmother
|
| che era proprio una gran gonna.
| which was just a great skirt.
|
| Poi, volere o no,
| Then, like it or not,
|
| vuoi, a volte? | do you want, sometimes? |
| bello essere donna
| nice to be a woman
|
| vai, non c’entri tu
| go, you are not involved
|
| ma la tua gonna…
| but your skirt ...
|
| Son passate tre ore (di gi?)
| It's been three hours (already?)
|
| ha cambiato colore (ma va)
| she changed color (but go)
|
| stropicciata qua e l? | wrinkled here and there? |
| quella gonna.
| that skirt.
|
| D’improvviso s'? | Suddenly yes? |
| aperta (opl?)
| open (opl?)
|
| e s'? | and s'? |
| fatta pi? | made more? |
| corta (voil?)
| short (voil?)
|
| quasi inutile ormai come gonna.
| almost useless now as a skirt.
|
| E' caduta sul tappeto
| She fell on the carpet
|
| rivelando il suo segreto
| of her revealing her secret
|
| Lo faceva gi? | Did she already do it? |
| la nonna,
| grandmother,
|
| che era proprio una gran gonna.
| which was just a great skirt.
|
| Poi, volere o no,
| Then, like it or not,
|
| vuoi, e ti conviene fare la donna
| you want, and you better be a woman
|
| vai, non c’entri tu
| go, you are not involved
|
| ma la tua gonna…
| but your skirt ...
|
| Son passate sei ore (ma va)
| It's been six hours (but go)
|
| non si sente rumore (perch?)
| there is no noise (why?)
|
| ora dormono gi? | now they sleep already? |
| uomo e donna.
| man and woman.
|
| Nell’armadio sfiniti (da che)
| In the closet exhausted (from what)
|
| sono ancora abbracciati (ma chi)
| are still embraced (but who)
|
| pantaloni e la sua nuova gonna.
| pants and her new skirt.
