La Topolino amaranto [English translation]

Gasoline prices have increased today

it's the summer of 1946

one litre costs as much as one kilo of salad,

but who wants to give up on it?

Who wants to go on foot?

A car it's such a comfort!

On the red Topolino 1,

come on, sit next to me,

we're leaving now.

If I give it free rein

it looks like an Aprilia,

and has no competitors.

The blonde lady grits her teeth,

she feels like she's in a slingshot,

and tries to smile because she's scared

but on the red Topolino

we feel great

in 1946...

but on the red Topolino

we feel great

in 1946...

If I give it free rein

it looks like an Aprilia,

and has no competitors.

The blonde lady grits her teeth,

she feels like she's in a slingshot,

and tries to smile because she's scared

but on the red Topolino

we go around so nicely

in 1946...

Blonde girl, don't look out of the window

because the landscape isn't right

the storm has just passed

six out of ten houses have collapsed.

It's better if you open the sunroof

and look up with your pretty eyes

drink in that high blue sky

that looks like enamel

and runs with us.

On the red Topolino...

Topolino.... Topolino...
