Piange ... Il Telefono
Domenico Modugno
Crying ... The Telephone
(Hello)
Listen
Is mom close to you?
You have to tell mom
There's someone who
(Who are you, the gentleman from last time?)
(I'll go call her)
(But she's taking a bath)
(I don't know if she can come!)
Tell her
That I'm here
Tell her it's important
That I'll wait
(But did you do something)
(To my mom?)
(When you call, she always tells me)
(Tell her I'm not here!)
But tell me
Do you already know how to write
Is your house beautiful?
How's school going?
(Good, but since my mom works)
(It's a neighbor who takes me to school)
(But I only have one signature in my diary)
(The others have their dad's)
(Not me!)
Tell her
That I'm here
That I've been suffering for six years
Sweetie, just your age
(Oh no. I'm five years old!)
(But do you know my mom?)
(She's never talked to me about you!)
(Hold on)
The phone cries
Because she won't
Come
Even if I shout: I love you
I know she won't
Listen to me
The phone cries
Why don't you have mercy?
But no one
Will answer me
Summer
Are you going on vacation
To the Riviera Hotel?
Do you like the sea?
(Oh yes, a lot!)
(Do you know I can swim? But tell me)
(How do you know the Riviera Hotel)
(Have you been there too?)
Tell her
My sorrow
And how much I love you both
(Do you love us?)
(But I've never seen you!)
(What's wrong with you!)
(Why did you change your voice?)
(But you're crying! Why?)
The phone cries
Because she won't
Come
Even if I shout
I love you
I know she won't
Listen to me
The phone cries
Why don't you
Have mercy?
But no one
Will answer me
Remember though
I cry on the phone
For the last time now
And why
Tomorrow
You'll know
Make her wait
(She's coming out!)
Make her stop
(She's gone!)
If she's gone
Then
Goodbye
(Goodbye sir)
Bye little one!
