Lyrics

«Ti ricordi una volta
Si sentiva soltanto il rumore del fiume la sera
Ti ricordi lo spazio
I chilometri interi
Automobili poche allora
Le canzoni alla radio
Le partite allo stadio
Sulle spalle di mio padre
La fontana cantava
E quell’aria era chiara
Dimmi che era così
C’era pure la giostra
Sotto casa nostra e la musica che suonava
Io bambina sognavo
Un vestito da sera con tremila sottane
Tu la donna che già lo portava
C’era sempre un gran sole
E la notte era bella com’eri tu
E c’era pure la luna molto meglio di adesso
Molto più di così
Com'è com'è com'è
Che c’era posto pure per le favole
E un vetro che riluccica
Sembrava l’America
E chi l’ha vista mai
E zitta e zitta poi
La nevicata del '56
Roma era tutta candida
Tutta pulita e lucida
Tu mi dici di sì l’hai più vista così
Che tempi quelli
Roma era tutta candida
Tutta pulita e lucida
Tu mi dici di sì l’hai più vista così
Che tempi quelli."

Lyrics translation

"Do you remember once
You could only hear the noise of the river in the evening
Do you remember the space
The whole kilometers
Few cars then
The songs on the radio
Matches at the stadium
On my father's shoulders
The fountain sang
And that air was clear
Tell me it was like this
There was also the carousel
Under our house and the music that played
I dreamed of a child
An evening dress with three thousand undergarments
You the woman who already wore it
There was always a great sun
And the night was as beautiful as you were
And there was also the moon much better than now
Much more than that
How it is how it is how it is
That there was room for fairy tales too
And a glass that glitters
It looked like America
And who ever saw her
And shut up and shut up then
The snowfall of ' 56
Rome was all candid
All clean and shiny
You tell me you've seen her like this before.
What times those
Rome was all candid
All clean and shiny
You tell me you've seen her like this before.
What a time."
