Lyrics

Dormi piccino,
piccino bello,
mentre il tuo babbo
col grimaldello
sta per entrando
in un’officina
a scopo di furto e di rapina!
Chiudi gli occhietti
sul materasso,
mentre il tuo babbo
fa un furto con scasso,
un suo compagno
gli fa da palo:
se il colpo riesce ti porta un regalo!
Un bel motore tutto di ghisa
che sta smontando laggiù alla Bovisa
Per la miseria, un bullon non vien via!
E nei paraggi c'è la polizia…
Il tempo passa,
certo è un bel guaio!
Si orienta il babbo
verso un pollaio
Dormi piccino,
che domattina
al tuo risveglio ci avrai…
…una gallina!!!

Lyrics translation

Sleep baby,
lovely little boy,
while your father
with the locksmith
he's coming in.
in a workshop
for the purpose of robbery and robbery!
Close your eyes
on the mattress,
while your father
makes a burglary,
a companion of his
it is a stake for him:
if the shot succeeds he brings you a gift!
A beautiful engine all cast iron
that he's dismantling down there at Bovisa
For fuck's sake, a bolt doesn't come away!
And nearby is the police…
Time passes,
of course it's a big deal!
It orients the father
towards a chicken coop
Sleep baby,
that morning
when you wake up, you'll have…
... a chicken!!!
