Guarda Come Dondolo
Ennio Morricone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guarda come dondolo,
guarda come dondolo con il twist,
con le gambe ad angolo,
con le gambe ad angolo ballo il twist.
Sarà perché io dondolo,
saranno gli occhi tuoi che brillano,
ma vedo mille mille mille lucciole
venirmi incontro insieme, insieme a te!

Guarda come dondolo,
guarda come dondolo con il twist,
con le gambe ad angolo,
con le gambe ad angolo ballo il twist.
Le ginocchia scendono,
le mie gambe tremano,
forse sono brividi, brividi d'amor!

Guarda come dondolo,
guarda come dondolo con il twist,
con le gambe ad angolo,
con le gambe ad angolo ballo il twist.
Sarà perché io]dondolo,
saranno gli occhi tuoi che brillano,
ma vedo mille mille mille lucciole
venirmi incontro insieme, insieme a te!

Guarda come dondolo,
guarda come dondolo con il twist,
con le gambe ad angolo,
con le gambe ad angolo ballo il twist.
Le ginocchia scendono,
le mie gambe tremano,
forse sono brividi, brividi d'amor!

Guarda come dondolo,
guarda come dondolo con il twist,
con le gambe ad angolo,
con le gambe ad angolo ballo il twist.
Le ginocchia scendono,




le mie gambe tremano,
forse sono brividi, brividi d'amor!
