The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Piccola mela" by Francesco De Gregori.

Lyrics

Mi metto in tasca una piccola mela,
mi metto in tasca una piccola mela.
Ti legassero in piazza con chiodi
e catene se davvero non sei sincera.
La figlia del dottore una maestrina,
la figlia del dottore una maestrina.
E conosce a memoria tutti i libri di Omero,
li ripassa tre volte la mattina.
Mi metto in tasca un piccolo fiore,
mi metto in tasca un piccolo fiore.
Ti legassero stretta alla quercia pi№ vecchia,
se davvero non vuoi il mio cuore.
La figlia del dottore sa cantare,
la figlia del dottore sa cantare.
E mi piace poi tanto quel suo modo di fare,
forse un giorno faremo l’amore.

Lyrics translation

I put a small apple in my pocket,
I'll put a little apple in my pocket.
They tied you in the square with nails
and chains if you're really not honest.
The doctor's daughter a teacher,
the doctor's daughter a teacher.
And he knows by heart all the books of Homer,
he does it three times in the morning.
I put a little flower in my pocket,
I put a little flower in my pocket.
They tied you tight to the old oak no.,
if you really don't want my heart.
Doctor's daughter can sing,
the doctor's daughter can sing.
And I really like his way of doing it,
maybe one day we'll make love.
