Original Lyrics
Translation in English
chorus
Tu mi fai girar, tu mi fai girar
You make me spin around, you make me spin around
Come fossi una bambola
Like I'm a doll
E poi mi butti giù, poi mi butti giù
And then you throw me to the ground, then you throw me to the ground
Come fossi una bambola
Like I'm a doll
Non ti accorgi quando piango
You don't notice when i cry
Quando sono triste e stanca, tu
When I'm sad and tired, you
Pensi solo per te
You only think about yourself
verse
No ragazzo, no, no ragazzo, no
No, young man, no, no, young man, no
Del mio amore non ridere
Of my love don't laugh
Non ci gioco più quando giochi tu
I'm not playing that game anymore, when you play it
Sai far male da piangere
You hurt way too much
Da stasera la mia vita
From tonight my life
Nelle mani di un ragazzo, no
On the hands of a boy, no
Non la metterò più
I'll never put it again
chorus
No ragazzo, no
No boy, no!
Tu non mi metterai
You'll never put me
Tra le dieci bambole
Between your ten dolls
Che non ti piacciono più
That you don't like anymore
Oh no, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
verse
Tu mi fai girar, tu mi fai girar
You make me spin around, you make me spin around
Come fossi una bambola
Like I'm a doll
Poi mi butti giù, poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me to the ground, then you throw me to the ground
Come fossi una bambola
Like I'm a doll
Non ti accorgi quando piango
You don't notice when i cry
Quando sono triste e stanca, tu
When I'm sad and tired, you
Pensi solo per te
You only think about yourself
chorus
No ragazzo, no
No boy, no!
Tu non mi metterai
You'll never put me
Tra le dieci bambole
Between your ten dolls
Che non ti piacciono più
That you don't like anymore
Oh no, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
outro
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me away
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me away
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me away
Poi mi butti giù
Then you throw me away
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
Tu mi fai girar
You make me spin
