Bambino
Ne pleure pas, Bambino

Les yeux battus, la mine triste et les joues blêmes
Tu ne dors plus, tu n’es que l’ombre de toi-même
Seul dans la rue tu rôdes comme une âme en peine
Et tous les soirs sous sa fenêtre on peut te voir

Je sais bien que tu l’adores
— Bambino, bambino
Et qu’elle a de jolis yeux
— Bambino, bambino
Mais tu es trop jeune encore
— Bambino, bambino
Pour jouer les amoureux

Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline
Mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
Que tout le ciel de l’Italie
Et chante, chante de ta voix câline
Mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
You might also likeAvec tes cheveux si blonds
— Bambino, bambino
Tu as l’air d’un chérubin
— Bambino, bambino
Vas plutôt jouer au ballon
— Bambino, bambino
Comme font tous les gamins

Tu peux fumer comme un Monsieur des cigarettes
Te déhancher sur le trottoir quand tu la guettes
Tu peux pencher sur ton oreille ta casquette
Ce n’est pas ça, qui dans son cœur, te vieillira

L’amour et la jalousie
— Bambino, bambino
Ne sont pas des jeux d’enfant
— Bambino, bambino
Et tu as toute la vie
— Bambino, bambino
Pour souffrir comme les grands
— Bambino, bambino

Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline, mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
Que tout le ciel de l’Italie
Et chante, chante de ta voix câline
Mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Si tu as trop de tourments
— Bambino, bambino
Ne les garde pas pour toi
— Bambino, bambino
Vas les dire à ta maman
— Bambino, bambino
Les mamans c'est fait pour ça

Et là, blotti dans l’ombre douce de ses bras
Pleure un bon coup, et ton chagrin s’envoleraEmbed
