La danza delle note [English translation]

Ah... just seven are the notes that I need

But love is just one, the love that is here

It starts off with a 'sì' 1

This is the way the song I wrote for you begins:,

At one time there's a boy I met

That boy is you

But to be able to see

I need a 'do' 2

Ah... just seven are the notes that I need

But love is just one, the love that is here

It starts with a 'si'

Come on boys, just find out a 'do' for me

But be careful

Lest the boy should answers 'no'

For a love like that,

Yoi'll need a 'sì'

Ah... just seven are the notes that I need

But love is just one, the love that is here

It starts with a 'si'

Ah... just seven are the notes that I need

But love is just one, the love that is here

It starts with a 'si'

It start with a 'si'

1. In talian the word 'si', standing for the seventh natural note of the scale, means 'Yes' as well. The latter would be written with an accent not to mix up the two omophones. 2. In Italian the first note of a natural scale is called a 'do', that means 'I give' as well, still no accent is mandatory (hypercorrectivistes, however, can sign a stress on the word that indicates the verb, but the effect is quite fastidious).
