Eri piccola così [English translation]

I saw you

I followed you

I stopped you

I kissed you

You were petite,

petite, petite,

like this!

You glanced at me

You didn't speak

I thought:

"Well, she liked me"

You were petite,

petite, petite,

like this!

Then,

our crazy love was born

and I

still think of it with terror

You bewitched me

I believed you

You wanted it

I married you

You were petite,

petite, petite,

yes, like this!

(instrumental)

I spoiled you,

I pampered you,

milk, butter,

jam.

You were petite,

petite, petite,

like this!

What a fool

I was!

You sold me

even the cat.

But you were petite,

that's right, petite, petite,

like this!

You

smoked tons of cigarettes

I

made some money playing cards.

Then one day

You left me

for a spineless guy

I looked for you

I hunted him down

I looked at him

He ran away

I gave you four slaps

You told me: "You bastard!"

You pointed your gun at me

and you fired a bullet at me,

Oh, that's how it is?

Shoot! [bang]

Shoot! [bang]

And shoot! [bang]

[coughs, dying]

And to think you were petite,

oh, petite,

so petite,

like this!
