Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Bambola by Patty Pravo from Italian to English.
Io l'ho cercata sopra il colle
I looked for her up on the hill
La mia piccola ribelle
My little rebel
Stava invece in casa tua
She was at your place instead
Come me viveva sotto il sole
Like me she lived under the sun
A nutrirsi di parole
Living on words
Quando mai la rivedrò
When will I ever see her again
Si dice in giro che la tieni male
Folks say you treat her badly
Mandami a dire se è vero
Send word if it's true
Corro a prenderla
I'll rush to get her
E se l'hai vista intorno al fiume
And if you've seen her by the river
Per le strade sulla neve
On the streets in the snow
Pensaci e fammela
Think about it and give me
Si dice in giro che la tieni male
Folks say you treat her badly
Mandami a dire se è vero
Send word if it's true
Corro a prenderla
I'll rush to get her
Dicono che si è fatta brutta
They say she's gotten ugly
E questo non mi va
And I don't like that
Mandami a dire se è vero
Send word if it's true
Corro a prenderla
I'll rush to get her
L'abbellirò con nastri rosa
I'll pretty her up with pink ribbons
Fiori gialli tra i capelli
Yellow flowers in her hair
Riderà incredula
She'll laugh, incredulous
Riderà incredula
She'll laugh, incredulous
Riderà incredula
She'll laugh, incredulous
