1950

Like perfumes, that skirt
How beautiful you are, what legs!
What steps on the asphalt of Rome
Serenella
In this sea breeze, of pines
In our year between the war and the year two thousand
From the conservatory to the university
The bicycle doesn't work
And you waiting for me
With your hair down
I will caress them
Sitting at our café
Serenella

The radio will broadcast
The song I thought for you
And maybe it will cross the ocean
Far from us
The Americans will listen to it
Who just left yesterday
And with their flowered shirts
Color our streets
And our spring days
That smell of your hair!
And your eyes so beautiful
Wide open to the future
And closed on me

In nineteen fifty
In nineteen fifty
Love
But how good we are in the sun
Love
From this year on
You will be with me

This year is round
And it's like a ball
That I kick straight and
Nice effect on my heart
Serenella
With money ties, clothes, flowers
And a Vespa to ride together to the sea
To the sea of this city
To the waves, to the splashes
That come out of our fountains
And if there's a bit of wind
You will get wet
While waiting for me
At our café
Serenella

The radio will broadcast this song
That I thought for you
And maybe, it will cross the ocean
Far from us
The Americans will listen to it
Who just left yesterday
And with their flowered shirts
That color our streets
And our spring days
That smell of your hair!
And your eyes so beautiful
Wide open to the future
And closed on me

In nineteen fifty
And I love you
I love you strongly in the sun
This sun that seems close
Serenella
I want a child
In our spring days
We will think of him as a song
Serenella
I take you to the sun
Serenella
I take you to the sea

The radio will broadcast this song
That I thought for you
And maybe it will cross the ocean
Far from us
The Americans will listen to it
Who just left yesterday
Oh Serenella
I take you to the sea
I take you away

The Americans will listen to it
Who just left today
Oh Serenella
I take you to the sea
I take you away
