duménega [English translation]

When they have a tour on Sunday1

- a new hat, a new dress -

with the brothel-keeper leading the group

what a fuckin' party, what a fuckin' party.

Everybody watches the procession

of Teresina and of Teresona

everybody watches the devil's daughters.

what a fuckin' job, what a fuckin' job.

And with this parade of thighs and boobs

even the youngest get rowdy

Mum, mum, give me the money

I want to go to the brothel, I want to go to the brothel.

The more they walk into the city,

the more eyes and voices follow them.

They tell them what they can't say

on Thursday, on Saturday and on Monday

In Pianderlino2: cocksuckers

in La Foce: thighs like nutcrackers

in Carignano: third-hand pussies

in Ponticello they show them their dicks.

(2 times)

And the harbormaster who sees gold

in those buttocks on their day off,

in order to hide the fact that he's happy

because there's funding for the new pier 3

he hides in the crowd

with eyes full of indignation

and shouts and shouts at them:

"You are whores and you always will be".

And you, you who scream at them

"Not even your nose is pristine!"

you asshole of a Christ-bearer

you aren't the only one who has seen

that among these creatures

who earn their bread while naked

there is there is there is there is there is

there is also your wife.

In Pianderlino: cocksuckers

in La Foce: thighs like nutcrackers

in Carignano: third-hand pussies

in Ponticello they show them their dicks.
