La nevicata del'56
Mia Martini Lyrics

Ti ricordi una volta
Do you remember a time

Si sentiva soltanto il rumore del fiume la sera
When only the sound of the river could be heard at night

Ti ricordi lo spazio
Do you remember the space

I chilometri interi
The long distances

Automobili poche allora
Few cars around then

Le canzoni alla radio
The songs on the radio

Le partite allo stadio
The matches at the stadium

Sulle spalle di mio padre
On my father's shoulders

La fontana cantava
The fountain was singing

E quell'aria era chiara
And the air was clear

Dimmi che era così
Tell me it was like that

C'era pure la giostra
There was also the carousel

Sotto casa nostra e la musica che suonava
In front of our house and the music that played

Io bambina sognavo un vestito da sera
As a little girl I dreamed of an evening dress

Con tremila sottane
With three thousand petticoats

Tu la donna che già lo portava
You were the woman who already wore it

C'era sempre un gran sole
There was always a big sun

E la notte era bella com'eri tu
And the night was beautiful like you

E c'era pure la luna molto meglio di adesso
And there was also the moon that was much better than now

Molto più di così
Much more than that

Com'è, com'è, com'è
How was it, how was it, how was it

Che c'era posto pure per le favole?
When there was even room for fairy tales?

E un vetro che riluccica
And a shiny glass

Sembrava l'America
It seemed like America

E chi l'ha vista mai?
And who has ever seen it?

E zitta e zitta poi
And quietly then

La nevicata del '56
The snowfall of '56

Roma era tutta candida
Rome was all white

Tutta pulita e lucida
All clean and shiny

Tu mi dici di sì
You tell me yes

L'hai più vista così?
Have you seen it like that again?

Che tempi quelli
Those were the times
