Lyrics

Prima di tutto vorrei che fosse chiaro
Che non mi sento per niente matto
Ma che sono stato una volta felice
E che al momento non lo sono più
Io ero il solo che ti credeva fedele
Gli altri sapevano tutto di te
Che te ne andavi girando le notti
Mentre al bar con gli amici parlavo di te
Fu di marzo che ti incontrai
Fu sempre di marzo che un bacio ti regalai
Sai ho cercato quel fazzoletto rosso
E il gran nero degli occhi tuoi
Ma giù nel paese non c'è nessuna
Non c'è nessuna tanto bella come te
Fu di maggio su quel ponte che Luigi mi parlò di te
E mi disse che eri sua e entro un anno all’altare ti porterà
Considerai il raccolto andato male
Anche la morte della capra Elisabetta
Ma soprattutto il fatto che in venti anni
Che in venti anni non ho riso mai
Fu di maggio su quel ponte
Il fiume i tuoi occhi c’era Luigi
C’erano i regali
Allora presi un sasso e in due ore lo ammazzai

Lyrics translation

First of all I would like to make it clear
That I don't feel crazy at all
But that I was once happy
And that at the moment they are no longer
I was the only one who believed you faithful
The others knew everything about you
That you were going around the nights
While at the bar with friends I was talking about you
It was in March that I met you
It was always in March that I gave you a kiss
You know, I looked for that red handkerchief.
And the Great Black of your eyes
But down in the country there is no
There's no one as beautiful as you
It was May on that bridge that Luigi told me about you
And he told me that you were his and within a year to the altar he will take you
I considered the harvest gone wrong
Also the death of the goat Elizabeth
But especially the fact that in twenty years
That in twenty years I never laughed
It was May on that bridge
The River your eyes there was Louis
There were gifts
So I took a rock and in two hours I killed it
