Bambino [English translation]

The eyes looking down, a sad expression

And pale cheeks

You don't sleep anymore

You're just a shadow of yourself

Alone you're roaming the streets

Like a soul in distress

And every evening beneath her window

One can see you

I know that you adore her

And that she's got pretty eyes

But you're still too young

To act like a lover

And scratch, scratch on your mandolin

My little Bambino

Your music is more beautiful

Than all the sky of Italy

And sing, sing with your affectionate voice

My little Bambino

You may sing as much as you want

She will not take you seriously

You can smoke cigarettes

Like an adult man

You can swing your hips on the sidewalk

When you watch out for her

You can tilt your cap

Over your ear

But that's not what makes you look older

In her heart

Love and jealousy

Are no children's play

And you have your whole life

For suffering like the grown-ups

And scratch, scratch on your mandolin

My little Bambino

Your music is more beautiful

Than all the sky of Italy

And sing, sing with your affectionate voice

My little Bambino

You may sing as much as you want

She will not take you seriously

You may sing as much as you want

She will not take you seriously

You may sing as much as you want
