Voglio una casa [English translation]

I want a house, I want it to be beautiful

Filled with brightness like a star

Filled with sunshine and good fortune

And for the moon to rise above the roof

Filled with laughter, filled with tears

House, I dream of you, how I dream of you!

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

I want a house, for lots of people

I want it to be strong and welcoming

Firm and warm, simple and real

For making music morn and eve

And where poetry would have its bed

I want to live under that roof

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

I want a house that is lived in

And for no one to sleep in the street

Any more, begging like a dog

Because there is nowhere to go

Treated like an animal and spat upon

And with no one, no one who helps

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

I want a house that is lived in

And for no one to sleep in the street

Any more, begging like a dog

Because there is nowhere to go

Treated like an animal and spat upon

And with no one, no one who helps

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

I want a house, I want it to be beautiful

Filled with brightness like a star

Filled with sunshine and good fortune

And for the moon to rise above the roof

Filled with laughter, filled with tears

House, I dream of you, how I dream of you!

I want a house, for lots of people

I want it to be strong and welcoming

Firm and warm, simple and real

For making music morn and eve

And where poetry would have its bed

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

A homeless man is not a man

A house without a man is not a home

And the song is made for singing

And singing is made to mock

And this rhyme is not silly

And this rhyme is not silly

And the song is made for singing

And singing is made to mock

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi

Dididindi, dididindi, dididindindidindindidi
