Lyrics

Scarpe nuove mi son messo,
il cappello nero in testa:
devo andare alla Gran Messa
col vestito della festa.
Per sembrare intelligente
curo molto l’espressione,
mentre passo tra la gente
che cammina in processione…
Menica menica, oggi? domenica:
tutti a passeggio si va.
Menica menica, oggi? domenica
Ognun mi saluter?.
Dopo avere ben mangiato
salto sulla mia Gilera
e mi lancio a perdifiato
verso l’unica Balera.
Ecco l? sullo stradone,
con le scarpe di coppale,
tutte fragole e lampone
due ragazze mica male…
Menica menica, oggi? domenica
Festa in paese si fa Menica menica, oggi? domenica
Tutti a ballare si va Ecco attacca l’orchestrina
la mazurca indiavolata:
io rimango in magliettina,
lei? gi? tutta sudata.
A me pare appetitosa,
pur se sa di brillantina

Lyrics translation

New shoes I put on,
the black hat on the head:
I have to go to mass.
in the party dress.
To look smart
I heal the expression very much,
as I pass among the people
walking in procession…
Menica menica, today? Sunday:
everyone walks.
Menica menica, today? Sunday
Everyone say hello?.
After eating well
jump on my Gilera
and I'm going wild
towards the only Balera.
Is that it? on the straddle,
with coppale's shoes,
all strawberries and raspberries
two girls not bad…
Menica menica, today? Sunday
Party in the village is going Menica menica today? Sunday
All to dance you go here attacks the orchestra
the Indian mazurca:
I'll stay in my shirt.,
her? gi? all sweaty.
It seems appetizing to me,
even if it tastes like glitter
