Piange… il telefono [English translation]

(Hello?)

Listen

Is your mom there?

You have to tell mommy

There is someone who –

(Are you the guy who called last time?)

(I’ll call her)

(But she’s in the bath)

(I don’t know if she can come to the phone!)

Tell her

I am here

Tell her it’s important

That I’ll wait

(Did you do something)

(to my mom?)

(When you call)

(She always says)

(“Tell him I’m not here”)

Tell me

Did you learn how to write?

Do you live in a nice home?

Are your grades good?

(Yes… but since mom is always at work)

(A neighbor drives me to school)

(I only have one signature on my diary)

(Everyone else has their dad’s, too)

(But I don’t!)

Tell her

I’m right here

That I’ve been suffering for six years

Honey, isn’t that your age, too

(Oh, no… I’m five!!)

(Do you know my mom?)

(She never told me about you!)

(Hold on…)

The telephone is crying

She won’t be

Coming

Even if I scream: I love you

I know

She won’t listen to me

The telephone’s crying

Won’t you show some mercy?

No one

Will answer.

In the summertime

Will you be staying

At the Riviera Hotel?

Do you like the beach?

(Oh, yes, I love it!)

(You know, I can swim! But wait a minute,)

(How do you know about the Riviera Hotel?)

(Have you been there, too?)

Tell her

About my suffering

Tell her how much

I love you both

(You love us?)

(But I’ve never seen you before!)

(What’s wrong?)

(Why did your voice change?)

(Why are you crying?)

The telephone is crying.

She won’t be

Coming

Even if I scream: I love you

I know

She won’t listen to me

The telephone’s crying

Won’t you show some mercy?

No one

Will answer.

But remember

It’s the last time

I’m crying over the phone,

And tomorrow

You'll know why.

Tell her to wait

(She’s going out!)

Tell her to stop

(She already left!)

She left.

Then…

Goodbye…

(Goodbye, Sir.)

Goodbye, honey!
