Santi che pagano il mio pranzo non ce n'è
There are no saints paying for my lunch
Sulle panchine in Piazza Grande
On the benches in Piazza Grande
Ma quando ho fame di mercanti come me qui non ce n'è
But when I'm hungry for merchants like me, there aren't any here
Dormo sull'erba e ho molti amici intorno a me
I sleep on the grass with many friends around me
Gli innamorati in Piazza Grande
The lovers in Piazza Grande
Dei loro guai, dei loro amori tutto so, sbagliati e no
I know all about their troubles, their loves, both wrong and right
A modo mio avrei bisogno di carezze anch'io
In my own way, I would need some cuddles too
A modo mio avrei bisogno di sognare anch'io
In my own way, I would need to dream too
Una famiglia vera e propria non ce l'ho
I don't have a real family
E la mia casa è Piazza Grande
And my home is Piazza Grande
A chi mi crede prendo amore e amore do, quanto ne ho
To those who believe in me, I take love and give love, as much as I have
Con me di donne generose non ce n'è
With me, there are no generous women around
Rubo l'amore in Piazza Grande
I steal love in the Great Square
E meno male che briganti come me qui non ce n'è
And thank goodness there are no brigands like me here
A modo mio avrei bisogno di carezze anch'io
In my own way, I need caresses too
Avrei bisogno di pregare Dio
I would need to pray to God
Ma la mia vita non la cambierò mai, mai
But I will never change my life, never
A modo mio quel che sono l'ho voluto io
In my own way, what I am is what I wanted
Lenzuola bianche per coprirci non ne ho
I don't have white sheets to cover us
Sotto le stelle in Piazza Grande
Under the stars in the Great Square
E se la vita non ha sogni io li ho e te li do
And if life has no dreams, I have them and I'll give them to you
E se non ci sarà più gente come me
And if there won't be any more people like me
Voglio morire in Piazza Grande
I want to die in the Grand Square
Tra i gatti che non han padrone come me attorno a me
Among the cats that have no masters like me around me
