La Mula De Parenzo
Gigliola Cinquetti
The Mule of Parenzo
The mule of Parenzo opened a shop:
She sold everything, she sold everything,
The mule of Parenzo opened a shop:
She sold everything except for the codfish:
Why don't you love me anymore?
My old girlfriend I keep as a reserve,
But when the grass sprouts, but when the grass sprouts;
My old girlfriend I keep as a reserve,
And when the grass sprouts I send her to graze
Why don't you love me anymore?
I send her to graze with the goats,
Love with the maids, love with the maids,
I send her to graze with the goats,
Love with the maids I will never do again:
Why don't you love me anymore?
Everyone tells me I'm blonde but I'm not blonde,
I have black hair, I have black hair;
Everyone tells me I'm blonde, but I'm not blonde,
I have black hair sincere in making love:
And why don't you love me anymore?
