Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Donna Riccia by Domenico Modugno from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Pigghiate ci te pare
Pigghia you think
Si vo' te spesi
Yes, I want you to spend it
Però nun ti pigghiari
But don't worry
'Na donna riccia
'Na curly woman
Cu ricci e ricciteddi
Cu ricci e ricciteddi
Issa t'incanta
Issa enchants you
Però dopo du' misi
But after two months
Voli te pianta
You want to stop
Picchè da ogni ricciu
Pickaxe from every hedgehog
Ti caccia 'nu capricciu
He chases you on a whim
La donna riccia nun la vogliu, no
I don't want the curly woman, no
Picchè da ogni ricciu
Pickaxe from every hedgehog
Ti caccia 'nu capricciu
He chases you on a whim
La donna riccia nun la vogliu, no
I don't want the curly woman, no
La donna riccia nun la vogliu, no
I don't want the curly woman, no
Prima o le ti vasa poi le ti lassa
First you vase them, then you leave them
Nun ci capisci nenti
You don't understand anything
È comu matassa
It's a mess
Te mbrigghia e poi te sbrigghia
She hurries you and then hurries you
C'è cu 'mpazzisci
There's something that goes crazy
Però si te carizza tu t'addurmisci
But if you love me, you'll fall asleep
Picchè da ogni ricciu
Pickaxe from every hedgehog
Ti caccia 'nu capricciu
He chases you on a whim
La donna riccia nun la vogliu, no
I don't want the curly woman, no
Picchè da ogni ricciu
Pickaxe from every hedgehog
Ti caccia 'nu capricciu
He chases you on a whim
La donna riccia nun la vogliu, no
I don't want the curly woman, no
La donna riccia nun la vogliu, no
I don't want the curly woman, no
Poi la encontrai
Then I met her
E ni parlai
And I spoke to her
Ni dissi, 'Sienti bedda mia, te vogliu bene
I said to you, 'Be careful, my dear, I love you
De ricciu e de capricciu nun me ne importa niente
I don't care about curls and whims
Torna mia'
Come back to me
Nun posa che me guarda manco en faccia
He doesn't even look at me in the face
Mamma mia che maledetta
My goodness, how damned
Pigghiate ci te pare
Pigghia you think
Si vo' te spesi
Yes, I want you to spend it
Però nun ti pigghiari
But don't worry
'Na donna riccia
'Na curly woman
Cu ricci e ricciteddi
Cu ricci e ricciteddi
Issa t'incanta
Issa enchants you
Però dopo du' misi
But after two months
Voli te pianta
You want to stop
