  1. Oggi è stata gran festa in paese, sì lo so

    Today was quite a celebration in the village, yes I know

  2. Ma non per questo si brucian le chiese, no, no, no

    But for that reason, we don't burn down churches, no, no, no

  3. La botte era grande, il vino era buono, lo sai anche tu

    The barrel was big, the wine was good, you know it too

  4. 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

  5. La tua veste colore di fuoco è molto bella, però

    Your dress the color of fire is very beautiful, but

  6. Troppo a lungo là sul campanile, sventolò

    Too long there on the bell tower, it waved

  7. 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

  8. Questa sera al chiaror delle stelle, non li avevi più

    Tonight in the light of the stars, you no longer had them

  1. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)

  2. Di solito così non si fa

    Usually, that's not how it's done

  3. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)

  4. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)

  5. Di solito così non si fa

    Usually, this isn’t how it's done

  6. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)

  7. Tu sapevi che il curato ogni giorno, prega sempre per te

    Did you know the priest prays for you every day?

  8. Ma perché l'hai legato a lui intorno, hai ballato, perché?

    But why did you tie yourself to him? You danced, why?

  9. 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

  10. Non dovevi rispondere che una bistecca non sei

    You shouldn’t have replied that you’re not a steak

  11. 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

  12. Comunque esageri un po' con la richiesta che fai

    Anyway, you do tend to exaggerate a bit with your request

  13. Provarli tutti non puoi

    You can't try them all

  14. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)

  15. Di solito così non si fa

    Usually, that's not how it's done

  16. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)

  17. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

  20. Luci, luci

  22. 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

  23. Ma se non altro quel luogo più allegro ed umano renderai

    But if nothing else, you'll make that place happier and more human

  24. Di solito così non si fa

    Usually, that's not how it's done

  25. Luci, luci

    Lights, lights

  26. Luci (Ah), luci (Ah)

    Lights (Ah), lights (Ah)
