Oggi è stata gran festa in paese, sì lo so
Today was quite a celebration in the village, yes I know
Ma non per questo si brucian le chiese, no, no, no
But for that reason, we don't burn down churches, no, no, no
La botte era grande, il vino era buono, lo sai anche tu
The barrel was big, the wine was good, you know it too
Ti è tanto piaciuto che ci hai fatto il bagno, non farlo mai più
You liked it so much that you took a dip, don't do it anymore
La tua veste colore di fuoco è molto bella, però
Your dress the color of fire is very beautiful, but
Troppo a lungo là sul campanile, sventolò
Too long there on the bell tower, it waved
Gli indumenti di pizzo ricaman la pelle, ma mi sembra che tu
The lace garments adorn the skin, but it seems to me that you
Questa sera al chiaror delle stelle, non li avevi più
Tonight in the light of the stars, you no longer had them
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Di solito così non si fa
Usually, that's not how it's done
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Di solito così non si fa
Usually, this isn’t how it's done
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Tu sapevi che il curato ogni giorno, prega sempre per te
Did you know the priest prays for you every day?
Ma perché l'hai legato a lui intorno, hai ballato, perché?
But why did you tie yourself to him? You danced, why?
E quando il figlio del tuo macellaio ti ha chiesto in sposa, tu a lui
And when your butcher's son asked for your hand, you to him
Non dovevi rispondere che una bistecca non sei
You shouldn’t have replied that you’re not a steak
E siam d'accordo con te, devi decidere tu il fidanzato che vuoi
And we agree with you, you must decide on the boyfriend you want
Comunque esageri un po' con la richiesta che fai
Anyway, you do tend to exaggerate a bit with your request
Provarli tutti non puoi
You can't try them all
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Di solito così non si fa
Usually, that's not how it's done
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Di solito così non si fa
Usually, that's not how it's done
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Luci, luci
Lights, lights
Luci, luci
Lights, lights
Ho l'impressione che se non smetti, all'inferno forse tu finirai
I have the feeling that if you don't stop, to hell you might end up
Ma se non altro quel luogo più allegro ed umano renderai
But if nothing else, you'll make that place happier and more human
Di solito così non si fa
Usually, that's not how it's done
Luci, luci
Lights, lights
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Di solito così non si fa
Usually, that's not how it's done
Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)
Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
Luci, luci
Lights, lights
Luci, luci
Lights, lights
Luci, luci
Lights, lights
