Lyrics

Ci siam trovati all’osteria a ciaciarare in compagnia
E poi le carte, le sigarette, si fan le sette, io devo andare
La mia Nina si potrebbe preoccupare
Mangio un boccone
Solita vita e la Ninetta quanta fatica
Ma le ho promesso che questa estate andremo al mare a riposare
Dopo un anno di lavoro
Non abbiam voglia neanche d’uscire
Siam troppo stanchi e dobbiamo dormire
Per poter affrontare ancora una nuova giornata
La mattina io in officina
Tu a far le pulizie, mi prepari la schiscetta in fretta
Mi dai un bacio e te ne vai;
Fino a sera non ci rivediamo piu'
Alle sette torno a casa e ci sei tu
Stanchi morti ci mettiamo sul divano e ci raccontiamo
E mi accorgo ancora che ti amo
Unica, grande consolazione:
Nonostante il mio lavoro
Tra di noi va tutto benone

Lyrics translation

We found ourselves in the tavern to ciaciarare in company
And then the cards, the cigarettes, you go seven, I have to go
My Nina might worry
I eat a bite
Usual life and Ninetta how much effort
But I promised her that this summer we will go to the sea to rest
After a year of work
We don't even want to go out.
We are too tired and we have to sleep
To be able to face another day
In the morning I in the workshop
You do the cleaning, you make my schiscetta fast
Give me a kiss and leave;
Till evening we never see each other again.
I'll be home at seven, and you're there.
Dead tired we sit on the couch and tell each other
And I still realize that I love you
Unique, great consolation:
Despite my work
Everything's fine between us.
