Lyrics

C' una donna che semina il grano
volta la carta si vede il villano
il villano che zappa la terra
volta la carta viene la guerra
per la guerra non c' pi№ soldati
a piedi scalzi son tutti scappati
Angiolina cammina cammina sulle sue scarpette blu
carabiniere l’ha innamorata volta la carta e lui non c' pi№
carabiniere l’ha innamorata volta la carta e lui non c' pi№.
C' un bambino che sale un cancello
ruba ciliege e piume d’uccello
tirate sassate non ha dolori
volta la carta c' il fante di cuori.
Il fante di cuori che un fuoco di paglia
volta la carta il gallo si sveglia
Angiolina alle sei di mattina s’intreccia i capelli con foglie d’ortica
ha una collana di ossi di pesca la gira tre volte in mezzo alle dita
ha una collana di ossi di pesca la conta tre volte intorno alle dita.
Mia madre ha un mulino e un figlio infedele
gli inzucchera il naso di torta di mele
Mia madre e il mulino son nati ridendo
volta la carta c' un pilota biondo
Pilota biondo camicie di seta
cappello di volpe sorriso da atleta
Angiolina seduta in cucina che piange, che mangia insalata di more.
Ragazzo straniero ha un disco d’orchestra che gira veloce che parla d’amore
Ragazzo straniero ha un disco d’orchestra che gira che gira che parla d’amore.
Madamador ha perso sei figlie
tra i bar del porto e le sue meraviglie
Madamador sa puzza di gatto
volta la carta e paga il riscatto
paga il riscatto con le borse degli occhi
Piene di foto di sogni interrotti
Angiolina ritaglia giornali si veste da sposa canta vittoria
chiama i ricordi col loro nome volta la carta e finisce in gloria
chiama i ricordi col loro nome volta la carta e finisce in gloria.

Lyrics translation

There is a woman who sows wheat
once the card you see the villain
the villain who hoes the Earth
once the card comes war
for the war no more№ soldiers
barefoot they all ran away
Angiolina walks walks on her blue shoes
carabiniere fell in love once the card and he no longer№
carabiniere fell in love once the card and he no longer№.
There's a child climbing a gate
steal cherries and bird feathers
throw stones has no pain
once the card c' the jack of hearts.
The jack of hearts that a straw fire
once the paper the cock wakes up
Angiolina at six in the morning weaves her hair with nettle leaves
he has a necklace of peach bones he turns it three times in the middle of his fingers
he's got a necklace of peach bones that counts three times around his fingers.
My mother has a mill and an unfaithful son
drench his nose with apple pie
My mother and the mill were born laughing
once the card there is a blonde pilot
Pilot blonde silk shirts
smile fox hat from athlete
Angiolina sitting in the kitchen crying, eating BlackBerry salad.
Foreign boy has a fast spinning orchestra record that talks about love
Foreign boy has an orchestra record that spins that spins that talks about love.
Madamador lost six daughters
among the bars of the port and its wonders
Madamador knows it smells like a cat
once the card and pay the ransom
pay the ransom with eye bags
Filled with photos of interrupted dreams
Angiolina clipping newspapers wedding dress sings victory
call the memories by their name once the card and ends in glory
he calls the memories by their name once the card and ends in glory.
