Le donne di Modena [English translation]

The women of Modena have big bones

the women of Modena have wide hips

the women of Modena accept an invitation

and there is no need to be the husband

The women of Genova wear tight skirts

The women of Genova don't laugh at all

The women of Genova think it's normal

to go to bed and read the newspaper

But all of them they make food, they know how to cook, they hate ironing and they know how to make love

They make food, they know how to cook, they hate ironing and they know how to make love

And I, who am an evil spirit, I move at night with the instinct of a lifeguard

Hey, let me know if you're in it or not

The women of Padova look behind the glass

The women of Padova never have secrets

It is not a cliché that the women of Padua

hide feathers under the dress

The women of Napoli are all mothers

The women of Napoli throw themselves into the flames

The women of Naples, God, but what a beautiful invention

they manage to laugh even under the flood.

And they too they make food, they know how to cook, they hate ironing and they know how to make love

They make food, they know how to cook, they hate ironing and they know how to make love

And I, who am an evil spirit, I move at night with the instinct of a vampire

Hey, let me know if you're in it or not

The women of Modena have big bones

the women of Genova laugh halfheartedly

the women of Napoli, God, what a beautiful invention

the women I've had are an illusion. Indeed...

I make food, I don't know how to cook, I hate to embroider, but I know how to make love

I make food, I hate to embroider,

I also make love but, by now, it is a detail
