Sette giorni a Portofino
Seven days in Portofino
Più di un mese a Saint Tropez
More than a month in Saint Tropez
Poi m'hai detto "cocorito"
Then you said to me, 'little rooster'
"Non mi compri col paté"
'You can't buy me with pâté'
E sei scappata a Malibù
And you ran away to Malibu
Con un grossista di bijou
With a dealer of jewels
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Mon amour
My love
E io, turista ticinese
And I, a tourist from Ticino
Tu regina di Pigalle
You, queen of Pigalle
Indossavi un pechinese
You were wearing a Pekingese
Ed un triangolo di strass
And a triangle of rhinestones
T'ho detto "vieni via con me"
I said to you, 'come away with me'
Tu mi hai detto "sì"
You said to me, 'yes'
Io ti ho detto "ripasserò"
I told you, 'I’ll come back later'
"Ma non monsieur, tu ne preoccupe pas, ma va'"
'But no, monsieur, don’t worry, just go'
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Mon amour
My love
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Mon amour
My love
E ora sono sulle spese
And now I'm in debt
In balia degli usurai
At the mercy of the loan sharks
Sovvenziono quattro streghe
I support four witches
Per poi sapere dove stai
Just to know where you are
E tuo marito sta
And your husband is
Qui da me
Here with me
Che mangia e dorme come un re
Eating and sleeping like a king
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Dove sei
Where are you
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!
Son tre mesi che ti aspetto
I've been waiting for you for three months
In quel solito bistrot
In that usual bistro
Ho firmato un metro quadro
I signed a square meter
Di cambiali agli usurai
Of promissory notes to the loan sharks
Ma più niente so di te
But I know nothing more about you
Forse un giorno ritornerai
Maybe one day you'll come back
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Mon amour
My love
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Mon amour
My love
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna
Mon amour
My love
Io ti aspetto
I wait for you
Mon amour!
My love!
