Maramao perché sei morto? [English translation]

Maramao, why did you die?

You weren’t lacking bread nor wine,

you had salad in your garden,

and you had a house.

The kitties in love with you

are still purring for you,

but your door is always closed

and you don’t answer anymore.

"Maramao, Maramao"

go the cats in chorus.

"Maramao, maramao,

maramao, mao".

Maramao, why did you die?

You weren’t lacking bread nor wine,

you had salad in your garden,

and you had a house.

When everything’s quiet

and the moon appears up in the sky,

with my sweetest and dearest "miao"

I call Maramao.

I can see all the cats

strolling on the roofs,

but they too, without you,

are sad like me.

You had salad in your garden,

and you had a house.

But your door is always closed

and you don’t answer anymore.

"Maramao, Maramao"

go the cats in chorus.

"Maramao, maramao,

maramao, mao".

Maramao, why did you die?

You weren’t lacking bread nor wine,

you had salad in your garden,

and you had a house.
