The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La gatta" by Gino Paoli.

Lyrics

C’era una volta una gatta
che aveva una macchia nera sul muso
e una vecchia soffitta vicino al mare
con una finestra a un passo dal cielo blu.
Se la chitarra suonavo
la gatta faceva le fusa ed una
stellina scendeva vicina, vicina
poi mi sorrideva e se ne tornava su.
Ora non abito più là,
tutto è cambiato, non abito più là,
Ho una casa bellissima,
bellissima come vuoi tu.
Ma, io ripenso a una gatta
che aveva una macchia nera sul muso
a una vecchia soffitta vicino al mare
con una stellina, che ora non vedo più.
Ma, io ripenso a una gatta
che aveva una macchia nera sul muso
a una vecchia soffitta vicino al mare
con una stellina, che ora non vedo più…

Lyrics translation

Once Upon a time there was a cat
that he had a black spot on his snout
and an old attic near the sea
with a window one step from the blue sky.
If the guitar was playing
the cat was purring and a
stellina came down close, close
then he'd smile at me and come back up.
I don't live there anymore.,
everything has changed, I no longer live there,
I have a beautiful house,
as beautiful as you want.
But, I think of a cat
that he had a black spot on his snout
to an old attic near the sea
with a little star, which I can't see anymore.
But, I think of a cat
that he had a black spot on his snout
to an old attic near the sea
with a little star, which I don't see anymore…
