Balla linda, balla come sai
Dance, Linda, dance the way you know how
balla linda, non fermarti
Dance, Linda, don't stop now
balla linda, balla come sai
Dance, Linda, dance the way you know how
Occhi azzurri
Blue eyes
belli come i suoi
Beautiful like hers
linda forse non li hai
Linda, maybe you don't have them
ridi sempre,
Always smile,
non parli mai d'amore
You never speak of love
però non sai mentire mai.
But you never know how to lie.

Bella sempre,
Always beautiful,
dolce come lei
sweet as she
linda, forse tu non sei
lovely, perhaps you're not
tu non dici
you don't say
che resti insieme a me
that you stay with me
però non mi abbandoni mai
but you'll never leave me
tu non mi lasci mai
you never let me go
ti cerco e tu,
I search for you and you,
e tu ci sei
and you are here
ti cerco e tu
I search for you and you
mi dai quel che puoi
give me what you can
non fai come lei,
don't be like her,
no non fai come lei
no, don't be like her
tu non prendi
you don't take
tutto quello che vuoi.
everything that you want.
Balla linda, balla come sai
Dance, beautiful, dance like you know
balla linda, non fermarti
dance, beautiful, don't stop
balla linda, balla come sai
dance, beautiful, dance like you know
Occhi azzurri
Blue eyes
belli come i suoi
as beautiful as hers
linda, forse non li hai
Linda, maybe you don't have them
ridi sempre,
always smile,
non parli mai d'amore
you never speak of love
però non sai mentire mai.
but you never know how to lie.
tu non mi lasci mai
you never leave me
ti cerco e tu
I search for you and you
mi dai quel che puoi
give me what you can
non fai come lei,
don't act like her,
no non fai come lei
no, don't act like her
tu non prendi
you don't take
tutto quello che vuoi.
everything you want.
Balla linda, balla come sai
Dance, darling, dance like you know how
balla linda, non fermarti
dance, darling, don't stop
balla linda, balla come sai
dance, darling, dance like you know how
balla linda, balla come sai
dance, darling, dance like you know how
balla linda, non fermarti
dance, darling, don't stop
