La bambola [English translation]

A bambola*

It's a doll

It's fragile, a bambola

All the boys who

Nickname you thus,

Little girls, are mocking you

In their eyes

You're nothing but a doll

Your heart is nothing but a toy

That one day they will break

Like a doll,

Disarticulated

The bambola finds itself

I know it, believe me,

I was before you

Me too, a bambola

Those who squeezed me in their arms

And lied to me more than you'd believe

Don't listen to them

No little girl, no

Love is better than that

It's stronger and stronger, believe me

And you'll recognise it

When you'll come to it

It dances, laughing

But like a child

It's fragile, a bambola

Little girl, believe me

Above all never forget

That it cries, a bambola

Those who are going to squeeze you in their arms

And lie to you more than you know

Don't listen to them

No little girl, no

Love is better than that

It's stronger and stronger, believe me

And you'll recognise it

When you'll come to it

No little girl, no

Love is better than that

It's stronger and stronger, believe me

And you'll recognise it

When you'll come to it
