Vado a lavorare [English translation]

I remember I was still a kid,

but I was already working like a man.

This was my song:

Certainly the earth takes effort,

ever more, always more

Certainly the earth is like a woman,

every season, the skirt changes.

Yellow in summer—

ripe wheat.

Red in autumn—

fermented wine.

It is olive green

when winter comes.

In spring, it dresses itself.

I go to work,

but tonight what do you do?

A woman who has it?

La la la la la la la

I go to work,

but where does my heart go?

Look for a flower that does not have it—

and if it is a rose, let it pick me.

Summer came and I caught the rose.

Long live the bridegroom! Long live the bride!

The more the nights pass, the more I am in love—

but when it is day, I work twice as much—

work in the sun,

work in the wind,

we leave at dawn,

we return at sunset—

but under the moon and the clear sky,

I lay on the hay—with you darling.

I go to work,

but, if I were born a king,

I would party with you

la la la la la la la la

I go to work—

I am worn out but so what?

At night, she doesn't know it.

la la la la la la la

I go to work,

but, if I were born a king,

I would party with you.

la la la la la la la la

I go to work,

outside it's cold, but so what?

There is someone who will keep me warm.
