Una fetta di limone [English translation]

Madam, we did not understand

Milady please listen to what I tell you

No to your kisses I say no

No to your love I say no

To your languid smile I say

No no no.

I do not want your palaces I do not want the riches

I do not want caresses

You are rich but you are razor, look in the mirror

Do not you see you're old

Tell me what you want from me.

But since you insist on making the proposals

I'll tell you something I want from you

A slice of lemon a slice of lemon

A slice of lemon a slice of lemon

In my tea.

I do not want the hundred euro 1 or the money for the my fashion look 2

Nor the piles of gifts

You are rich but you are silly for me you are too skinny

So you do not pick up me

Tell me what you want from me

But since you insist on making the proposals

I'll tell you something I want from you

A slice of lemon a slice of lemon

A slice of lemon a slice of lemon

In my tea.
