Supermarket, giovedì
Supermarket, Thursday
Tu lavori lì
You work there
Direttore tu lo sai
Director, you know
Dimmi dove è lei
Tell me where she is
Non c'è, non c'è
She's not here, she's not here
Ammalata forse è
Maybe she's sick
Comunque qui non c'è
Anyway, she's not here
Comprerò le banane
I'll buy the bananas
Le banane comprerò
The bananas I'll buy
Ma però
But still
Dove è andata stamattina non lo so
Where she went this morning, I don't know
Scatolette colorate
Colorful little cans
Carni rosa congelate
Frozen pink meats
C'è di tutto intorno a me
There's everything around me
Ma lei non c'è, no
But she's not here, no
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket
Supermarket, venerdì, tu lavori lì
Supermarket, Friday, you work there
Dimmi ieri, come mai
Tell me yesterday, how come
Tu non ieri qui
You weren't here yesterday
Tutta colpa della frutta
It's all the fault of the fruit
Ne ho mangiata troppa
I ate too much of it
E così sono stata a letto giovedì, anche tu
And so I was in bed on Thursday, just like you
Ami tanto le banane, anche tu
You love bananas so much, just like you
Ma però costan troppo le banane e perciò
But those bananas cost too much, and that's why
Questo nostro grande amore
This great love of ours
Che sfortuna, oggi stesso finirà
What bad luck, it will end today
Per questioni vegetali, di risparmio
Due to plant matters, for the sake of savings
Ed anche di praticità
And also of practicality
Questo nostro grande amore
This great love of ours
Che sfortuna, oggi stesso finirà
What bad luck, it will end today
Per questioni vegetali, di risparmio
Due to plant-related issues, for saving
Ed anche di pratici-
And also of practical-
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
Supermarket, supermarket
