La Rita
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
La Rita è scappata di casa
Ha portato via il mio mondo
Ha portato con sé ciò che è mio di diritto
E che avevo nel cuore per lei
Si è presa i vestiti
Il servizio di piatti
Ma che abuso
Il quadretto di San Francesco
E un bel disco di Caruso
La Rita voleva finirla
Voleva vendicarsi di me
Non ha preso una lira perché non ce l'ho
Ma ha procurato dei danni
Ha preso i miei piani
I miei poveri inganni
E coi miei venti anni
L'amore che fu
E mi ha lasciato
Una chitarra che non canta più'
