Lyrics

Fu nell’anno '41 che qualcuno fu pap?
venne poi il '44 e quell’uomo se ne va
'945 madre e figlio senza lui
come vissero da allora in poi
nessuno seppe mai
gli anni passano veloci
per quel bimbo invece no cos? chiuse gli occhi e disse
tra vent’anni li aprir?
apr? gli occhi che era un uomo
vide un clown passar di l?
e gli disse «vuoi venir con noi?»
e lui rispose si Con il circo vide strade
e paesi, citt?
ebbe gioie e dolori
e ragazze in quantit?
«giro il mondo fino in fondo
non mi fermer? mai pi?»
fino a quando i sogni rosa
si dipinsero di pi?
poi incontr? una ragazza
quella che voleva lui
e tra un bacio e una carezza
disse «mia moglie tu sarai»
costruirono una casa
«non ti lascer? mai pi?»
e la gente un giorno vide
sulla porta un nastro blu
fu nell’anno '61 che
qualcuno fu pap?
venne poi il '64
e quell’uomo se ne andr?
'965 madre e figlio senza lui
quando un giorno arriva un circo
«ehi bambino, cosa fai?»

Lyrics translation

Was it in the year ' 41 that someone was pap?
then the ' 44 came and that man leaves
'945 mother and son without him
how they lived from then on
no one ever knew
the years go by fast
what about that kid? he closed his eyes and said
twenty years from now, open them?
apr? the eyes that was a man
did you see a clown pass by l?
and he said, " Do you want to come with us?»
and he answered yes with the circus saw streets
and countries, cities?
he had joys and sorrows
and girls in quantity?
"I go all the way around the world
no Mi fermer? more pi?»
until the pink dreams
they painted pi?
then meet? girl
the one he wanted
and between a kiss and a caress
he said, " My wife you will be»
they built a house
"don't quit? more pi?»
and people one day saw
on the door a blue ribbon
it was in the year ' 61 that
someone was pap?
then came the '64
and that man will leave?
'965 mother and son without him
when one day a circus comes
"Hey Baby, What are you doing?»
