Abbronzate, tutte chiazze,
Tanned, all with patches,
Pellirosse un po' paonazze
Redheads a bit flushed,
Son le ragazze che prendono il sol
They're the girls who soak up the sun,
Ma ce n'è una
But there's one
Che prende la luna
Who catches the moon,
Tintarella di luna,
Lunar tan,
Tintarella color latte
Milk-colored tan,
Tutta notte stai sul tetto
All night you're on the roof,
Sopra al tetto come i gatti
On the roof like the cats,
E se c'è la luna piena
And if there's a full moon
Tu diventi candida
You become so white
Tintarella di luna,
Moonlight tan,
Tintarella color latte
Milk-colored tan,
Che fa bianca la tua pelle
That makes your skin so bright
Ti fa bella tra le belle
It makes you beautiful among the beauties
E se c'è la luna piena
And if the moon is full
Tu diventi candida
You become so white
Tin tin tin raggi di luna
Tin tin tin moonlight rays
Tin tin tin baciano te
Tin tin tin kiss you
Al mondo nessuna è candida come te
In the world, none is as white as you
Tintarella di luna,
Moonlight tan,
Tintarella color latte
Milk-colored tan,
Tutta notte stai sul tetto
You stay on the roof all night,
Sopra al tetto come i gatti
Up on the roof like the cats.
E se c'è la luna piena
And if the moon is full,
Tu diventi candida
You become pure white.
Tin tin tin raggi di luna
Tin tin tin moonbeams,
Tin tin tin baciano te
Tin tin tin kiss you,
Al mondo nessuna è candida come te
In the world, no one is as pure as you,
Tintarella di luna,
Moonlight tan,
Tintarella color latte
Milk-colored tan
Tutta notte stai sul tetto
All night you’re on the roof
Sopra al tetto come i gatti
On the roof like the cats
E se c'è la luna piena
And if there's a full moon
Tu diventi candida
You turn into a white dove
E se c'è la luna piena
And if there's a full moon
Tu diventi candida
You turn into a white dove
E se c'è la luna piena
And if there's a full moon
Tu diventi candida, candida, candida
You turn into a white dove, white dove, white dove
