Original text with translation
Enrico Ruggeri
Abbiamo avuto tempi in cui
Quei rami di agrifoglio
Vestivano quaderni e pensierini
Mentre l’albero già spoglio di cartone e cellophane
Si colorava a festa
Per attendere la visita del prete
Poi le luci intermittenti
Come i nostri più segreti sentimenti
Ed eravamo tanti
Amici coi parenti
Vicini e conoscenti
Che non ci sono più…
Abbiamo avuto tempi
Con il vischio sulla porta
Tovaglie rosse e luci di candela
C’era sempre una signora
Che non si sposava mai
Torrone nella cesta
Telefonate giunte da lontano
Con gli auguri da Piacenza
Ed il panettone stava sopra la credenza
In quella grande stanza
Tra quella confidenza
E c’era una presenza
Che non ritrovo più…
We've had times when
Those holly branches
They wore notebooks and little thoughts
While the tree already stripped of cardboard and cellophane
It was colored in celebration
To await the visit of the priest
Then the flashing lights
Like our most secret feelings
And we were many
Friends with relatives
Neighbors and acquaintances
That are no more ...
We had times
With mistletoe on the door
Red tablecloths and candle lights
There was always a lady
That she never got married
Nougat in the basket
Phone calls coming from afar
With best wishes from Piacenza
And the panettone was on the sideboard
In that big room
Between that confidence
And there was a presence
That I no longer find ...
