Lyrics

Le Domeniche pomeriggio
d’estate,
zone depresse.
Donne sotto i pergolati a chiacchierare e a ripararsi un po' dal sole,
uomini seduti fuori dai caffè.
Poi la fine un giorno arrivòper noi;
dammi un po' di vino con l’Idrolitina.
Problematiche, differenze di vita, zone depresse.
Dal barbiere al sabato per chiaccherare e a turno leggere il giornale.
Le ragazze in casa o fuori nei balconi;
mi regali ancora timide erezioni; guardavo di nascosto i saggi ginnici nel tuo
collegio.
Deux pas en avant, deux pas en arrière,
àdroite àgauche,
au contraire,
faire un tour sur soi meme. S’arreter.

Lyrics translation

Sunday afternoon
summer,
depressed area.
Women under the pergolas to chat and to shelter a little from the sun,
men sitting outside cafes.
Then the end one day came for us;
give me some wine with the Hydrolyte.
Problems, differences in life, depressed areas.
From the barber to the Saturday to chat and take turns reading the newspaper.
Girls at home or out on the balconies;
you still give me shy erections; I was sneaking around the wise gymnasts in your
college.
Two steps forward, two steps back,
right to left,
on the contrary,
take a walk on yourself. Stop.
