Luiz Bonfá, Caterina Valente
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Indispensabile una volta nella vita
Mascherarsi d’Arlecchino che ricerca Colombina
Perch chi vive diligente e dignitoso
Senza fare girotondo vive solo per met
Giorno che va, non torner
Giorno che va, non torner
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Si troverebbe con un po' di fantasia
Per Desdemona un Otello senza tanta gelosia
Ed ogni uomo incontrerebbe Margherita
Senza fatti con nessuno per difetto dell’et
Giorno che va, non torner
Giorno che va, non torner
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Si troverebbe con un po' di fantasia
Per Desdemona un Otello senza tanta gelosia
Ed ogni uomo incontrerebbe Margherita
Senza fatti con nessuno per difetto dell’et
Giorno che va, non torner
Giorno che va, non torner
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Indispensable once in a lifetime
Masquerading as Harlequin who is looking for Colombina
Because who lives diligent and dignified
Without going around the circle, he only lives halfway
Day that goes, I will not return
Day that goes, I will not return
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
He would find himself with a little imagination
For Desdemona an Othello without much jealousy
And every man would meet Margherita
Without facts with anyone for lack of age
Day that goes, I will not return
Day that goes, I will not return
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
He would find himself with a little imagination
For Desdemona an Othello without much jealousy
And every man would meet Margherita
Without facts with anyone for lack of age
Day that goes, I will not return
Day that goes, I will not return
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
Lai-la-lai-l lai-lallall
