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
Where only the sound of the river could be heard at night

Ti ricordi lo spazio
Do you remember the space

I chilometri interi
The endless kilometers

Automobili poche allora
Fewer cars back then

Le canzoni alla radio
Songs on the radio

Le partite allo stadio
Games at the stadium

Sulle spalle di mio padre
On my father's shoulders

La fontana cantava
The fountain sang

E quell'aria era chiara
And the air was clear

Dimmi che era cos?
Tell me that it was like this

C'era pure la giostra
There was also a carousel

Sotto casa nostra e la musica che suonava
Under our house, and the music playing

Io bambina sognavo
I, as a child, dreamed

Un vestito da sera con tremila sottane
A dress with three thousand underskirts

Tu la donna che gi? lo portava
You, the woman who already wore it

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

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

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

Molto pi? di cos?
Much more than that?

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

Che c'era posto pure per le favole
There was also room for fairy tales

E un vetro che riluccica
And a shining 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 then quietly,

La nevicata del '56
The snowfall of '56

Roma era tutta candida
Rome was completely white

Tutta pulita e lucida
All clean and shiny

Tu mi dici di s? l'hai pi? vista cos?
You tell me, have you seen it like this again?

Che tempi quelli
What times those were

Roma era tutta candida
Rome was completely white

Tutta pulita e lucida
All clean and shiny

Tu mi dici di s? l'hai pi? vista cos?
You tell me, have you seen it like this again?

Che tempi quelli.
What times those were.
