Le donne vanno e vengono
Women come and go
Nel porto di Buenos Aires
In the port of Buenos Aires
Hanno le ali ai piedi
They have wings on their feet
Ai piedi per volare
On their feet to fly
Hanno le ali al cuore
They have wings on their heart
Al cuore per camminare
On their heart to walk
Le donne vanno e vengono
Women come and go
Nel porto di Buenos Aires
In the port of Buenos Aires
Amore ragazzino
Young love
Amore volato via
Love that has flown away
Ho messo il tuo cappello
I've put on your hat
Per farmi compagnia
To keep me company
Ho messo il tuo cappello
I've put on your hat
Per non sentirmi sola
So I don't feel alone
Ho avuto un altro uomo
I've had another man
Ma però ti aspetto ancora
But still I wait for you
Ho avuto un altro uomo
I've had another man
Ma però ti aspetto ancora
But still I wait for you
Le donne vanno e vengono
Women come and go
Nelle case di Buenos Aires
In the homes of Buenos Aires
Hanno le chiavi in mano
They have the keys in hand
Le chiavi per provare
The keys to try
Hanno le gambe lunghe e dolci
They have long, sweet legs
Le gambe per amare
The legs to love
Le donne si sorridono
The women smile at each other
Nelle case di Buenos Aires
In the houses of Buenos Aires
Amore dimenticato
Forgotten love
Amore con la pistola
Love with a gun
Chissà dove sei stato
Who knows where you've been
E chissà dove sei ora
And who knows where you are now
Amore da ringraziare
Love to be thankful for
E da tenersi stretto
And to hold tight
Amore da guardare
Love to gaze at
E da portare a letto
And to take to bed
Amore da guardare
Love to gaze at
E da portare a letto
And to take to bed
Le donne vanno e vengono
Women come and go
Sul corso di Buenos Aires
On the streets of Buenos Aires
Fiori tra le dita
Flowers between my fingers
Fiori da regalare
Flowers to give as gifts
Matita sotto gli occhi
Pencil under the eyes
Occhi da incatenare
Eyes that need to be chained
Le donne si organizzano
The women are getting organized
Sul corso di Buenos Aires
On the avenue of Buenos Aires
Amore interminabile
Endless love
Amore di poche ore
Love that lasts just a few hours
Entra dalla finestra
It enters through the window
E senza far rumore
And without making a sound
Amore di mezzanotte
Midnight love
Amore con gli occhi belli
Love with beautiful eyes
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
Entra dalla finestra
Come in through the window
E scioglimi i capelli
And let down my hair
