Текст и перевод песни Lou Monte - Skinny Lena

Skinny Lena

E si voi venì te port a Brookalina
Ti faro verdè i vorn e Musolina

E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' u' chooch e sodera
La femmina se' fatte pe' mangia'
E uomo so' fatte pe' gettare' lu sangue a fatica'

Magga portat' a lu' movina picha per se fare diverti'
M'ha chiamata " sonamongona " e m'ha fatt' scompari'

E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' u scarps' 'e padera
Li femmina so' fatte per mangia'
E l'omme so fatte per gettare' lu sangue a fatica'

I love you, my skinny Lena
But people stop and stare
You look just like a broomstick
With a great big mop of hair

When I take you to a party
You should look just like a dream
But oh, my little cagootsa
You look like Halloween

Oh why, oh why
Do people stop and stare
There must be something missing
A little here, a little there

Magga portat' a lu' sona vare per se fare diverti'
M'ha comma se briaggada m'ha fatta scompari'

E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' a pancia momada
Li femmina so' fatte per mangia'
E l'omme so fatte per gettare' lu sangue a fatica'

Skinny Lena

If you come with me, I'll take you to Brooklyn
I'll make you eat greens, beans, and greens

Turn, turn, turn la-ri-la-la
Damn the cook and the bread
A woman is made to eat
And a man is made to work hard

Maybe bring her to the movies to have some fun
She called me a "sleepwalker" and disappeared

Turn, turn, turn la-ri-la-la
Damn the baker's shoes
A woman is made to eat
And a man is made to work hard

I love you, my skinny Lena
But people stop and stare
You look just like a broomstick
With a great big mop of hair

When I take you to a party
You should look just like a dream
But oh, my little scarecrow
You look like Halloween

Oh why, oh why
Do people stop and stare
There must be something missing
A little here, a little there

Maybe bring her to the movies to have some fun
She puked her brains out and disappeared

Turn, turn, turn la-ri-la-la
Damn the crazy mother
A woman is made to eat
And a man is made to work hard
