La Vigilia Di Natale - Mina

I bambini aspettavano

Trenini e bambole sognavano

Papà natale si chiedevano

Perdonerà i miei capricci o no

La sera sotto l’albero

Il tuo regalo chissà cos'è

Le mani mi tremavano

Un foglio tuo col nome tuo

E in fondo «Addio, amore mio, addio»

I giorni che seguirono

Con i trenini che correvano

Correvo anch’io, cercando te

In tutti i posti conosciuti insieme a me

Ed era l’anno nuovo ormai

Qualcuno disse: «L'ho visto io

Andava verso il ponte, sai

Era Natale, c’era la neve

Mi ha detto, sì

Non dirle che ero qui»

Domani è Natale già

I bimbi sperano come un anno fa

E gli occhi brillano

Papà Natale viene a casa mia

Ma sotto il mio albero

Papà Natale non passerà

E vorrei avergli scritto anch’io

La bici no

Trenini no

Bambole no

Io voglio solo lui

The children waited

Trains and dolls dreamed

Father Christmas they wondered

Will he forgive my whims or not

In the evening under the tree

Your gift who knows what it is

My hands were shaking

A paper of yours with your name

And basically "Goodbye, my love, goodbye"

The days that followed

With the little trains that ran

I was running too, looking for you

In all the places known with me

And it was the new year now

Someone said, “I saw it

It was going towards the bridge, you know

It was Christmas, there was snow

She said to me, yes

Don't tell her I was here "

Tomorrow is Christmas already

The children hope like a year ago

And the eyes sparkle

Father Christmas comes to my house

But under my tree

Father Christmas will not pass

And I wish I had written to him too

The bike no

Trains no

Dolls no

I just want him
