Chérie, te souviens-tu du Lac de Côme
Où nous avons passé huit jours jolis
Dans une petite auberge jaune de chrome
Au bord de l'eau près des galets polis
J'commençais à r'ssentir tous les symptômes
Des nouveaux arrivants en Italie
Et malgré mon absence de diplômes
Je n'parlai qu'la langue du pays
Gelati, spaghetti, frittati, legumi, salami
Panino, vitello, formaggio et brodo di pollo
Minestra, senapa, gazzosa, e cioccolata
Les signori, ils sont servis!
J'étais dev'nu calé sur la dînette
Mais je ne savais pas parler d'amour
Il aurait bien fallu que je répète
Avec une brune aux yeux de velours
Mais tu n'as pas voulu que je m'instruise
Et tu as potassé ton Assimil
Puis un beau soir qu'on se faisait des bises
Tu m'as glissé d'un air subtil
Ti voglio, ti amo, caro mio, un bacio, Corbaccio
Tenero, diletto, devoto, intimo, cochono
Sospiro, e spero, aspetto, m'eccita tanto
Vieni vieni vieni au lit
Mais tout c'que tu m'as fait dans le plumaro
Dis-moi où tu l'avais appris...
