Adriano Celentano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Il tuo bacio è come un rock
Che ti morde col suo swing
È assai facile al knock out
Che ti fulmina sul ring
Fa l'effetto di uno choc
E perciò canto così
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Il tuo bacio è come un rock

I tuoi baci non son semplici baci
Uno solo ne vale almeno tre
E per questo bambina tu mi piaci
E dico, "Ba-ba-baciami così"

Il tuo bacio è come un rock
Che ti morde col suo swing
È assai facile al knock out
Che ti fulmina sul ring
Fa l'effetto di uno choc
E perciò canto così
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Il tuo bacio è come un rock

I tuoi baci non son semplici baci
Uno solo ne vale almeno tre
E per questo bambina tu mi piaci
E dico, "Ba-ba-baciami così"

Il tuo bacio è come un rock
Che ti morde col suo swing
È assai facile al knock out
Che ti fulmina sul ring
Fa l'effetto di uno choc
E perciò canto così
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Il tuo bacio è come un rock
