Lyrics

Si… si chiamava Fantoni Cesira, era la figlia d' un alcolizzato
che non aveva mai in tasca una lira e per il vino avea tutto lasciato,
lavoro e casa, figlia e consorte, che non potendo scordar col bere,
perch? era astemia, la sua triste sorte, si tir? un colpo nel '53.
Povera giovane rimasta orfana mentre suo padre si ubriacava
trov? lavoro in una fabbrica e sul lavoro ogni tanto sognava,
sognava panfili, pellicce ed abiti, non pi? la fabbrica, ville e piscine,
la dolce vita, il bel mondo dei principi, come le dive che vedeva al cine.
Ma quel bel sogno sarebbe rimasto soltanto un sogno mai realizzato,
quando in paese nel giorno del santo un gran veglione fu organizzato,
ci furon musiche, canti e allegria, danze e coriandoli, spumante e suoni,
poi a mezzanotte una scelta giuria fece «miss tette» Cesira Fantoni.
Le circondarono il petto e le spalle con nastri e fasce di seta scarlatte
su cui era scritto con lettere d’oro «evviva sempre le mucche da latte»,
le regalarono trenta garofani, un «necessaire» similoro da viaggio,
quattro biglietti con sconto per cinema, cinque flaconi di shampoo in omaggio.
La sera stessa a Fantoni Cesira si present?, assai distinto, un signore.
Disse: «Permette? Il suo viso m' attira

Lyrics translation

Her name was Fantoni Cesira. she was the daughter of an alcoholic.
that he never had a pound in his pocket, and for the wine he had left everything,
work and home, daughter and husband, who could not forget by drinking,
perch? it was abstention, its sad fate, you tir? a hit in ' 53.
Poor young woman orphaned while her father got drunk
trov? I work in a factory and at work occasionally dreamed,
she dreamed of fluff, furs and clothes, no more? the factory, villas and swimming pools,
the sweet life, the beautiful world of princes, like the divas he saw at the cinema.
But that beautiful dream would have remained only a dream never realized,
when in the village on the day of the Holy One a great vigil was organized,
there were music, songs and cheerfulness, dances and confetti, sparkling wine and sounds,
then at midnight a jury choice made" miss tits " Cesira Fantoni.
They surrounded her chest and shoulders with scarlet ribbons and bands of silk
on which it was written in gold letters "long live the dairy cows»,
they gave her thirty carnations, a similar" necessaire " for travel,
Four movie discount tickets, five complimentary bottles of shampoo.
The same evening at Fantoni Cesira is present? very distinguished, a gentleman.
He Said, " May I? Her face attracts me
