O bella bionda (Oh pretty blond girl) (1996) by Fabio Concato
I'm sitting on a bench,
I'm stopped here to wait.
There is a little blonde girl who's traveling on the train
and when she'll arrives she'll make me sweat.
I'm mirroring behind a showcase
I look like a god.
But look what a beautiful large forehead;
whose is it? but certainly that's mine.
But tell me when will you get here?
I am so nervous and this train is never arriving.
Who knows which face will you make
you never saw me so happy and so clumsy.
I'm waiting for you, I'm so nervous;
how will you be dressed?
you're so pretty, how beautiful is life
for me as I'm so much in love.
I sit down and I get up and I do not know what to do anymore
I feel like singing
oh oh oh beautiful blonde
what did you do to this man who didn't know
he knew how to love.
But tell me when will you get here?
I am so nervous and this train is never arriving.
Who knows which face will you make
you never saw me so happy and so clumsy.
My love, when you'll get here, I'll sing you a song
it's new and surely you do not know it
Who knows which face will you make?
I wrote it now inside this station,
it doesn't have lyrics yet and more or less it sounds like this?
I'm sitting on a bench
I'm stopped here to wait.
There is a little blonde girl who's traveling on the train
now she has come down from it and I want to sing.
Notes:
The question not only is based on the Hollywood Italy stereotype going around in the net but from the fact someone told me that 'it's impossible for Italians to have blonde hair as it's a well known fact all the Italian have black hair (and dark eyes and tanned skin). Whoever said otherwise was obviously ignorant'.
Or maybe it's Italian and knows that Italian hair comes actually in more than one colour (same for the eyes and about suntan... northern Italians fight to get it during summer months because sadly we aren't born with it)...
Until that moment I was aware of the existence of the Holliwood Italy stereotype but I didn't think someone who would blindly believe in it as if it was the TRUTH...
Emilia's stats are actually old. According to the new ones, brown hair is even more popular than before. However I couldn't find a detailed version of the new stats so the old will have to do.
