Sally

Fabrizio De André

Original text

Mia madre mi disse — Non devi giocare

Con gli zingari nel bosco

Mia madre mi disse — Non devi giocare

Con gli zingari nel bosco

Ma il bosco era scuro, l’erba già verde

Lì venne Sally con un tamburello

Ma il bosco era scuro, l’erba già alta

Dite a mia madre che non tornerò

Andai verso il mare senza barche per traversare

Spesi cento lire per un pesciolino d’oro

Andai verso il mare senza barche per traversare

Spesi cento lire per un pesciolino cieco

Gli montai sulla groppa, sparii in un baleno

Andate a dire a Sally che non tornerò

Gli montai sulla groppa, sparii in un momento

Dite a mia madre che non tornerò

Vicino alla città, trovai Pilar del mare

Con due gocce d’eroina, s’addormentava il cuore

Vicino alle roulottes, trovai Pilar dei meli

Bocca sporca di mirtilli, un coltello in mezzo ai seni

Mi svegliai sulla quercia, l’assassino era fuggito

Dite al pesciolino che non tornerò

Mi guardai nello stagno, l’assassino s’era già lavato

Dite a mia madre che non tornerò

Seduto sotto un ponte, si annusava il re dei topi

Sulla strada, le sue bambole bruciavano copertoni

Sdraiato sotto il ponte, si adorava il re dei topi

Sulla strada, le sue bambole adescavano i signori

Mi parlò sulla bocca, mi donò un braccialetto

Dite alla quercia che non tornerò

Mi baciò sulla bocca, mi propose il suo letto

Dite a mia madre che non tornerò

Mia madre mi disse — Non devi giocare

Con gli zingari del bosco

Ma il bosco era scuro l’erba già verde

Lì venne Sally con un tamburello

Song translation

My mother told me - You don't have to play

With the gypsies in the woods

My mother told me - You don't have to play

With the gypsies in the woods

But the forest was dark, the grass already green

There Sally came with a tambourine

But the forest was dark, the grass already tall

Tell my mom I'm not going back

I went out to sea without boats to cross

I spent one hundred lire for a gold fish

I went out to sea without boats to cross

I spent a hundred lire for a blind little fish

I mounted him on the back, disappeared in a flash

Go tell Sally that she won't be back

I mounted him on the back, disappeared in a moment

Tell my mom I'm not going back

Near the city, I found Pilar del mare

With two drops of heroin, her heart fell asleep

Near the caravans, I found Pilar dei Meli

Mouth smeared with blueberries, a knife between her breasts

I woke up on the oak, the killer had fled

Tell the little fish I'm not going back

I looked at myself in the pond, the killer had already washed

Tell my mom I'm not going back

Sitting under a bridge, the rat king was sniffing

On the street, his dolls of him burned tires

Lying under the bridge, the Rat King was worshiped

On the way, his dolls of him lured the gentlemen

He spoke on my mouth, gave me a bracelet

Tell the oak I will not return

He kissed me on the mouth, offered me his bed

Tell my mom I'm not going back

My mother told me - You don't have to play

With the gypsies of the forest

But the forest was dark, the grass already green

There Sally came with a tambourine
