Cammina Bambina Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cammina Bambina by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
Quanto tempo mi ci vuole per capirti un po'
How much time do I need to understand you a bit?
Forse tanto quanto te ne basta per scoprirmi
Maybe as much as you need to discover me
Quel tuo gioco di sottane lo sai però
You know that game of yours with skirts, though
Io sono un uomo non rimango certo indifferente
I'm a man, I certainly don't remain indifferent
Basta poco per innamorarsi di te
It takes little to fall in love with you
E del tuo modo strano di svestirti
And your strange way of undressing
E allora scendi dal tuo trono di sesso perché
So get down from your throne of sex, because
Io sono un uomo non rimango certo indifferente
I'm a man, I certainly don't remain indifferent
Io sono un uomo non rimango certo indifferente
I'm a man, I certainly don't remain indifferent
E allora dai
So come on
Cammina, cammina bambina
Walk, walk, girl
Cammina bambina perché
Walk, girl, because
Se la mia strada è fatta di donne
If my path is made of women
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Senza orgoglio non si vive lo sai anche tu
You know you can't live without pride too
Quindi dimmi del tuo orgoglio, dimmi donna che hai fatto
So tell me about your pride, tell me, woman, what you've done
Sarò strano forse un pazzo ma ho bisogno d'amore
I might be strange, maybe crazy, but I need love
Che donna sei se tu rimani sempre indifferente
What kind of woman are you if you always remain indifferent?
Che donna sei se tu rimani sempre indifferente
What kind of woman are you if you always remain indifferent?
E allora dai
So come on
Cammina, cammina bambina
Walk, walk, girl
Cammina bambina perché
Walk, girl, because
Se la mia strada è fatta di donne
If my path is made of women
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Cammina, cammina bambina
Walk, walk, girl
Cammina bambina perché
Walk, girl, because
Se la mia strada è fatta di donne
If my path is made of women
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Cammina, cammina bambina
Walk, walk, girl
Cammina bambina perché
Walk, girl, because
Se la mia strada è fatta di donne
If my path is made of women
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Cammina, cammina bambina (bambina)
Walk, walk, girl (girl)
Cammina bambina perché (cammina, cammina)
Walk, girl, because (walk, walk)
Cammina bambina, cammina
Walk, girl, walk
Tu non sei quella per me
You're not the one for me
Cammina, cammina (tu non si quella per me), auh
Walk, walk (you're not the one for me), auh
Cammina, cammina (cammina bambina)
Walk, walk (walk, girl)
Cammina bambina, cammina
Walk, girl, walk
Cammina, cammina, cammina bambina
Walk, walk, walk, girl

Did you like this lyrics translation?
sottane — skirts
Sottane literally translates to "skirts" or "petticoats". While it might seem like a simple word, its use in this song is quite evocative and less common than a generic word for clothing.
In "Cammina Bambina," Gianluca Grignani sings about a "gioco di sottane" (game of skirts), which implies a flirtatious or seductive game. It's a more poetic and slightly old-fashioned way to refer to a woman's allure, making it an interesting and memorable word choice that hints at the song's romantic and somewhat playful tension.
