These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Mia madre mi disse, 'Non devi giocare
My mother told me, 'You don't have to play
Con gli zingari nel bosco'
With the gypsies in the woods'
Mia madre mi disse, 'Non devi giocare
My mother told me, 'You don't have to play
Con gli zingari nel bosco'
With the gypsies in the woods'
Ma il bosco era scuro, l'erba già verde
But the forest was dark, the grass already green
Lì venne Sally con un tamburello
There came Sally with a tambourine
Ma il bosco era scuro, l'erba già alta
But the forest was dark, the grass already tall
Dite a mia madre che non tornerò
Tell my mother I won't come back
Andai verso il mare senza barche per traversare
I went towards the sea without boats to cross
Spesi cento lire per un pesciolino d'oro
I spent a hundred lire for a little gold fish
Andai verso il mare senza barche per traversare
I went towards the sea without boats to cross
Spesi cento lire per un pesciolino cieco
I spent a hundred lire on a little blind fish
Gli montai sulla groppa e sparii in un baleno
I climbed onto his back and disappeared in a flash
Andate a dire a Sally che non tornerò
Go tell Sally that she won't be coming back
Gli montai sulla groppa e sparii in un momento
I climbed onto his back and disappeared in a moment
Dite a mia madre che non tornerò
Tell my mother I won't come back
Vicino alla città trovai Pilar del mare
Near the city I found Pilar of the sea
Con due gocce di eroina si addormentava il cuore
With two drops of heroin the heart fell asleep
Vicino alle roulotte trovai Pilar dei meli
Near the caravans I found Pilar of the apple trees
Bocca sporca di mirtilli, un coltello in mezzo ai seni
Mouth dirty with blueberries, a knife between her breasts
Mi svegliai sulla quercia, l'assassino era fuggito
I woke up in the oak tree, the killer had escaped
Dite al pesciolino che non tornerò
Tell the little fish I won't be coming back
Mi guardai nello stagno, l'assassino s'era già lavato
I looked at myself in the pond, the killer had already washed himself
Dite a mia madre che non tornerò
Tell my mother I won't come back
Seduto sotto un ponte si annusava il re dei topi
Sitting under a bridge you could smell the Mouse King
Sulla strada le sue bambole bruciavano copertoni
On the road his dolls burned tires
Sdraiato sotto il ponte si adorava il re dei topi
Lying under the bridge we worshiped the Mouse King
Sulla strada le sue bambole adescavano i signori
On the street his dolls lured the gentlemen
Mi parlò sulla bocca, mi donò un braccialetto
He spoke in my mouth, he gave me a bracelet
Dite alla quercia che non tornerò
Tell the oak that I won't return
Mi baciò sulla bocca, mi propose il suo letto
She kissed me on the mouth, offered me her bed
Dite a mia madre che non tornerò
Tell my mother I won't come back
Mia madre mi disse, 'Non devi giocare
My mother told me, 'You don't have to play
Con gli zingari nel bosco'
With the gypsies in the woods'
Ma il bosco era scuro l'erba già verde
But the forest was dark and the grass was already green
Lì venne Sally con un tamburello
There came Sally with a tambourine
