Maledetto Gatto
Lucio Battisti
Cursed Cat
Elegant, composed, a bit ironic, polite.
Mysterious, interested, a trickster, sly, crazy.
Cursed be the cat, cursed be the cat!
Defenseless but just for fun. Sweet dear, always a friend.
A poet almost got me, just for a platonic blackmail:
Cursed be the cat, cursed be the cat!
My young love, how naive, I don't know,
I’d like to warn you, but I just can’t do it..
At this point, I won’t play the fatherly role! You might laugh!
Are you bothering? Are you kidding?
It’s a huge pleasure. You can join us for dinner.
An intruder, but who ever said that?
Cursed be the cat, cursed be the cat!
We have time to be alone: just a whiskey, come on, let’s go!
But let’s not comfort each other. It’s true, leaving is tough.
Cursed be the cat, cursed be the cat!
My young love, how naive, I don't know,
I’d like to warn you, but I just can’t do it..
At this point, I won’t play the fatherly role! You might laugh!
So cursed cat, keep purring away,
If by chance she gets confused, you’ll manage to eat me off the plate!
Cursed be the cat, cursed be the cat!
