Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Come fossi una bambola
Like I were a doll
E poi mi butti giù
And then you throw me down
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me down
Come fossi una bambola
Like I were a doll
Non ti accorgi quando piango
You don't notice when I cry
Quando sono triste e stanca tu
When I'm sad and tired, you
Pensi solo per te
Think only of yourself
No, ragazzo, no
No, boy, no
No, ragazzo, no
No, boy, no
Del mio amore non ridere
Don't laugh at my love
Non ci gioco più
I won't play anymore
Quando giochi tu
When you play
Sai far male da piangere
You know how to hurt to make me cry
Da stasera la mia vita
From this evening my life
Nelle mani di un ragazzo, no
In the hands of a boy, no
Non la metterò più
I won't put it back anymore
No, ragazzo, no
No, boy, no
Tu non mi metterai
You won't put me down
Tra le dieci bambole
Among the ten dolls
Che non ti piacciono più
That you no longer like
Oh no, oh no
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Come fossi una bambola
Like I'm just a doll
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me down
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me down
Come fossi una bambola
Like I'm just a doll
Non ti accorgi quando piango
You don't notice when I cry
Quando sono triste e stanca tu
When I'm sad and tired, you
Pensi solo per te
Only think of yourself
No, ragazzo, no
No, boy, no
Tu non mi metterai
You won't put me
Tra le dieci bambole
Among the ten dolls
Che non ti piacciono più
That you no longer like
Oh no, oh no
(Tu mi fai girar)
(You make me spin)
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
(Poi mi butti giù)
(Then you throw me down)
Poi mi butti giù
Then you push me down
(Tu mi fai girar)
(You make me spin)
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
(Poi mi butti giù)
(Then you push me down)
Poi mi butti giù
Then you push me down
