Mi sveglio la mattina
I wake up in the morning
Domenica non è
It's not Sunday
E di corsa stai prendendo il tuo caffè
And you're hurriedly grabbing your coffee
Prima di uscire eh eh eh
Before heading out eh eh eh
E adesso te ne andrai
And now you're off
E' gia sveglia la città
The city is already awake
E dovrò restare sola tutto il giorno
And I'll have to stay alone all day
Fino a questa sera ah ah ah
Until this evening ah ah ah
E allora canto canto
And so I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Comincio a far qualcosa
I start to do something
A rifare il letto e poi
To remake the bed and then
A lavare tutti i piatti
To wash all the dishes
Che ho lasciato ieri sera ah ah ah
That I left last night ah ah ah
Più tardi proverò
Later I'll try
A pulire la mouquette
To clean the carpet
E dovrò restare sola tutto il giorno
And I'll have to stay alone all day
Fino a questa sera ah ah ah
Until this evening ah ah ah
E allora canto canto
And so I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
Canto canto
I sing, I sing
E penso a te
And I think of you
