Lyrics
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, au bar de l’amitié,
Mama Leone, tu nous pardonnes: on n’a jamais payé,
Mama Leone, mais on chantait et tu aimais bien ça.
Les gens des beaux quartiers de Rome
Venaient voir le spectacle quelques fois,
Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, comme les cigognes, on arrivait chez toi,
Mama Leone, mais à l’automne, on était toujours là.
Mama Leone, qu’on a fait souffrir ton vieux piano.
Il est mort près du téléphone
Un soir où nous avons joué trop faux,
Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, au bar de l’amitié,
Quand minuit sonne y a plus personne pour rire et pour chanter.
Mama Leone, un coffee-shop ou un drugstore je crois
T’ont remplacée au c ur de Rome.
On n’a gardé que ce nom là
Mama Leone
Lyrics translation
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, at the friendship bar,
Mama Leone, you forgive us: we never paid,
Mama Leone, but we used to sing and you liked it.
The people of the beautiful neighborhoods of Rome
Came to see the show a few times,
Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, like storks, we were coming to your house,
Mama Leone, but in the fall, we were still there.
Mama Leone, we made your old piano suffer.
He died near the phone
One night when we played too fake,
Mama Leone.
Mama Leone, Mama Leone, at the friendship bar,
When midnight rings there is no one to laugh and sing.
Mama Leone, a coffee shop or a drugstore I believe
They replaced you in the heart of Rome.
We only kept that name there
Mama Leone
