Voglio una casa [English translation]

I want a house, I want it beautiful

Full of as much light as a star

Full of sun and good fortune

And the moon will shine over the roof

Full of laughter, full of cries

House, I dream of you, I dream of you so often

Diridindindin, Diridindin…

I want a house for lots of people

I want it solid and cozy

Robust and warm, simple and true

To fill it with music morning and night

And poetry will have a bed there

I want to work under that roof

Diridindindin, Diridindin...

I want every house that’s built

And then no one will sleep in the street

Like a begging dog

Because it no longer has a place to go

Like an animal which is spat upon

And nobody but nobody ever helps him

Diridindindin, Diridindin...

I want a house for children

who don’t know where meet up anymore

and for the old folks, spacious houses

where they can live with their relatives

inexpensive houses, for families

where sons and daughters are born

Diridindindin, Diridindin..
